Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR, in short, is a form of trauma treatment that uses bilateral stimulation and involves focusing on a traumatic memory while simultaneously moving their eyes and/or body in a specific way. The goal is to change the way the memory is stored in the brain, reducing the distress it causes on the mind and body. 

EMDR is primarily used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can also help with other mental health issues that are a result of trauma, abuse and neglect, assault, or military combat, and natural disasters, to name a few. 

Bilateral stimulation is present in African and Indigenous cultures, often through practices like drumming and dancing, which are considered effective forms of bilateral stimulation due to the rhythmic, alternating left-right movement they involve. 

Understanding the cultural context and incorporating traditional practices can enhance the effectiveness of therapy when working with individuals. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from a counselling session?

During a counselling session, you can expect to discuss your thoughts, sensations, feelings, and challenges with a registered counsellor who will provide guidance and support.

How long does a counselling session typically last?

It depends! Each client has a very unique story, needs, and hopes to get out of counselling.

Counselling sessions typically last 50-60 minutes, but the duration may vary depending on your needs and the counsellor's recommendations. Individual sessions can be longer if requested. 

Relationship and Family Therapy often take longer than 50-60 minutes, sometimes 1.5- 2 hours, again, depending on the case. 

Is counseling confidential?

Yes, counselling sessions are confidential. Your privacy is our top priority, and information shared during sessions is kept strictly confidential. However, there are limitations in keeping confidentiality when it comes to imminent harm to self or others, a child at risk of harm, and instances of subpeana  

Is there a sliding-scale option?

Yes, however, this will need to be discussed within the session. I'd be happy to offer it to those who need it.
