My Wellness Center & Its Team Of EMDR Certified Therapists Transform Mindsets
Everyone Copes Differently
There is no one right way to cope with trauma, triggers, and other difficulties you’re struggling with. However, when your stress and anguish affect your relationships, work, education, self-confidence, or general ability to feel happy, there has to be another way.
Wherever you are in your healing journey, your feelings are valid, and you deserve to be heard.
But getting the help you need means more than talking to someone who looks great on paper. Finding a therapeutic strategy that works means connecting to a certified professional who understands what you’re going through, how your life is being impacted, and what it means to feel “normal” again.
You are enough.
My Wellness Center is here to help during your healing journey.

The Difference In Your Wellness: EMDR
Even when stored in your short-term memory, trauma can have lasting effects that impair different facets of your life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a form of psychotherapy used to treat various types of psychological distress such as:
- Performance Anxiety
- Depression
- Anxiety Disorders
- Separation Issues
- Complicated Grief
- Disturbing Memories
- Sexual, Emotional, and/or Physical Abuse
- Phobias
- Panic Attacks
- Pain Disorders
- Addiction
EMDR therapy is not talk therapy.
The key aspect of EMDR therapy is that it uses external stimuli during your session and targets negative or irrational thinking. Doing so allows your brain to rewire its way of thinking while decreasing fear, anxiety, and stress.
Healing Is A Journey, Let's Take It Together.
Sometimes, we limit ourselves and our potential to heal from past experiences because we’ve told ourselves that:
- It isn’t that big of a deal
- I don’t need to ask for help
- It isn’t normal to talk to someone else about my problems
- I can and should be able to deal with it on my own
- I should be over it by now
My Wellness Center’s mission is to offer EMDR therapy so that those who need it can work on becoming the best version of themselves with every session.
Our vision is to share the benefits of adopting healthy coping habits with the world and put an end to negative thoughts and false positivity that doesn’t truly serve you.
