EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensivelyresearched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma andPTSD symptoms. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences.  EMDR is a form of therapy where the client briefly focuses on the trauma memory, while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically through eye movements or tapping), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.

Other Services

We can help you grow and thrive as a mental health practitioner.

Psychological Testing

The general purpose of psychological testing is to aid in the identification of a definitive diagnosis for various mental health conditions. This helps in providing treatment management protocols (recommendations) to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and to become more self-aware.  The testing recommendations can help provide a road map for treatment and can assist your therapist, psychiatrist, or educational team as well.  Many of these tests can be taken conveniently online and results can be provided along with a formal psychological evaluation report.  ETSD therapists provide psychological testing for the following conditions:

  • ADHD
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Personality & Psychopathology
  • Aptitude & Achievement
  • Substance Abuse
  • Impairment
  • Emotional & Social Development
  • Behavior
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Emotional Intelligence
  • College/Career Planning
