We're Kelowna's EMDR Clinic.
We help with Anxiety, PTSD, Phobias, Depression, self-esteem, and other trauma related conditions.
Everyone experiences trauma. This ranges from 'small-t' trauma like getting teased in school to 'Big-T' trauma like car accidents and abuse. Most of the time, especially with 'small-t' trauma, the experience gets processed by your brain in such a way that it doesn't leave long-lasting effects. However, there are times when a traumatic experience doesn't get processed properly and instead gets "stuck" in your psyche, like a scar. This then can manifest as anxiety, PTSD, depression, trouble sleeping, or a number of other mental disorders. EMDR therapy is one of the most effective ways of treating these stuck traumatic memories and releasing you from their gripping effects.
Despite the curve balls that life threw your way, the challenges, difficulties, and suffering that you went through, we believe that it does not have to be your story. Let us help you navigate the tough times with more ease and grace and resolve past trauma so that it won't become your narrative.
Why EMDR therapy?
In short, because it’s very effective at treating stuck traumatic memories. While other types of therapy can help you by providing you with the coping tools, EMDR therapy stands out by tackling the root cause of the problem. So if the idea of dealing with the underlying issue instead of the symptoms sounds appealing, you should definitely explore if EMDR therapy can help you.
Begin by discovering what EMDR therapy is all about, how it works, and what kinds of issues it’s effective for. If you still have questions or concerns, you can explore the available resources or just get in touch. And when you are ready to take the next step, book your first appointment. Your future self will thank you for it!
