Our Services
Why Trauma-Focused Therapy?
In our two decades in mental health, an important learning has been the role of adverse experiences on our mind and body. So much of what we see as depression, anxiety, difficulties in relationships and addictions can stem from difficult childhood, adolescent and adult experiences.
Our work holds the history of the client in mind, in the treatment of mental health difficulties and so is essentially trauma-informed.
In addition, with years of training, using evidence based practice, we are able to process long held traumatic experiences. This is called Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Hargun primarily uses EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help the brain safely process painful memories and reduce current distress. EMDR along with parts work, helps clients with complex histories of trauma, attachment wounding and dissociation.
