Dr. Jennifer Roberts provides EMDR and therapy services to adults. Dr. Roberts is an EMDR trained therapist, utilizing the protocol with clients as young as 12 yrs old through adulthood. EMDR looks to the experiences or events that drive behaviors, feelings, thoughts, urges, or physical reactions. The guiding question for treatment is: What circumstances or experiences in this person’s life cause them to respond in such a way now?

What is EMDR?

EMDR employs an 8-stage model that helps a client, not relive the experience, but rather facilitate the body’s own ability to process and heal from disturbing memories, debilitating actions or fears.

When someone cuts their finger while cooking, this person does not have to consciously think about their white cells and all the internal systems in place for healing. The brain and the body automatically work together to close and heal the wound. However, if a foreign object blocks the healing process, the pain will continue, and this person might need the support of another person to remove the object. Once the block is removed, the healing will resume. EMDR therapists support people to remove blockages so the natural processing of information may continue, resulting in symptom relief and resolution.

EMDR successfully treats:

· Trauma

· PTSD

· Anxiety

· Depression

· Distressing Life Events

· OCD
