EMDR
Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been extensively researched, and shown to reduce symptoms of PTSD, depression, fear/anxiety, low self-esteem, etc., that stem from distressing or traumatic life events. Rather than talking in length about the events, processing occurs by using left to right tapping or eye movements, which helps to reduce the distressing parts, make space for a new and more adaptive perspective, and restore your brain's natural healing process.

Integrating the disciplines of theology and psychology to help you regain a sense of hope, redemption, and restoration through Jesus Christ, our ultimate healer. This typically includes incorporating Biblical principles combined with therapeutic strategies to improve your mental and emotional health, and lead you to a stronger relationship with God.
