Eclectic Therapeutic Approaches

Mary is certified in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). She offers this service alongside other therapies like prolonged exposure (PE), written exposure therapy (WET), cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and mindfulness training. 

She uses EMDR in particular to mobilize the natural healing ability of her clients’ bodies while helping them develop a new understanding that can speed up the trauma healing process. Meanwhile, CPT helps individuals challenge unhelpful thought processes and WET offers writing exercises that can help in the processing of disturbing memories.
