Trauma Therapist New York City and Westchester - Expertise

My expertise is in trauma. I am certified in EMDR therapy and am trained in Level 3 IFS. I interweave EMDR and IFS with most trauma cases, given their complementary and relational frameworks. Both EMDR and IFS are evidence based models that effectively relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.   When people ask me what constitutes trauma, I often say that trauma is any event that is not adaptively processed and continues to unconsciously  inform your present and your future. I often hear from clients, "That happened when I was a kid, I'm fine" or "I already talked about that, I was in therapy forever".  If an acute/single-event trauma or relational and developmental trauma of any kind is not adaptively processed we are left with a hyper-vigilant nervous system, negative beliefs about ourselves and others, somatic issues, and displaced emotions.  Without insight, awareness and healing, our traumas are in the lead, making decisions that impede our emotional and interpersonal growth.  Take the path towards therapy so you can live your life exactly how you were meant to live it.
