EMDR

Erica is an EMDRIA (EMDR International Association) Certified Therapist. Erica completed her Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training in 2023 through the EMDR Institute. She incorporates EMDR in her practice to support clients in reprocessing traumatic memories, promoting emotional healing, and building resilience. Whether addressing past traumas or navigating life transitions, Erica creates a nonjudgemental space for clients to understand their experiences. Employing the evidence-based method of EMDR, which utilizes bilateral stimulation and a structured approach, Erica guides clients through an eight phase process to help diminish the emotional impact of distressing memories. Erica is trained in specialized EMDR protocols, including Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol (R-TEP) for individual trauma recovery and Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) for healing collective trauma in community settings. Through these protocols, Erica can support clients in addressing both immediate and complex trauma, facilitating effective, tailored interventions for clients affected by recent or ongoing traumatic events. Erica equips clients with relevant coping strategies, empowering them to apply newfound insights in their everyday lives.
