EMDR
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a treatment approach that has been widely validated by research for the treatment of trauma and PTSD. EMDR therapy allows to target the negative memories and emotions of past traumatic events and it helps the brain to successfully process past experiences.
ADHD

We incorporate Eye Movement to help children and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder to improve focus and concentration. Our therapy approach is centered on achieving longer attention span, increasing awareness of self and the world, and reducing fidgety without medications.
Trauma and PTSD
Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) is a somatic body based practice for people suffering with stress, anxiety, trauma or PTSD. TRE is based on a series of exercises which assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises activate a natural tremor mechanism that calms down the nervous system.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence–based novel therapy that promotes quick recovery by reprogramming how the brain stores traumatic memories and imagery. This treatment approach incorporates memory visualization techniques that are based on eye movements, as well as memory reconciliation.
The Flash Technique (FT) is a therapeutic intervention used for reducing the disturbance associated with traumatic or distressing memories. FT is a minimally intrusive option that does not require the client to consciously engage with nor share with their therapist the traumatic memory. This allows the client to process traumatic memories without feeling distress.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy for Emotional and Behavioral Disturbance
Ericksonian Hypnosis is a widely recognized approach for utilizing unlimited possibilities of the unconscious mind. Hypnotherapy is being done by activating and discovering new inner resources and involves inward attention and positive suggestions in a trance-like state.
Hypnotherapy can be effective in alleviating conditions such as chronic pain, headaches, anxiety, depression, fears and phobias, self-esteem issues and habit disorders like over eating or smoking.
