Certified EMDR Therapist - Noemi Mendez-Hyams, LPC-S
What is EMDR?
EMDR stands for “Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing” and is a non-drug, non-hypnosis, non-evasive and evidence-based psychotherapy procedure. The therapist guides the client in concentrating on a troubling memory or emotion while moving the eyes rapidly back and forth by following the therapist's fingers. It is a well-researched and highly developed way to work with people who have experienced disturbing events in their lives and for whom the bad feelings, images and memories don’t just go away.
What is it used for?
EMDR can be used to treat disturbing memories, panic attacks, sexual and/or physical abuse, stress reduction, depression, guilt, anger and post-traumatic reactions.
I offer EMDR (1 hour) and EMDR Intensives (multiple hours). Care Credit financing options are available for EMDR Intensives.
"An important aspect of being a therapist is having your own therapy. We are all human and have similar experiences and feelings as our clients. The most important aspects of a therapist are to be genuine, implement self-care, a work-life balance and know when to refer out if issues fall outside the scope of your professional training. It is important to be curious about behavior and want to help the client explore parts of themselves that show up with good intentions but may be blocking potential opportunities to grow. You have to meet people where they are at and know the client is resilient and will inherently know where they need to go with a supportive, non judgmental and safe place to explore their thoughts and feelings."
- Noemi Mendez-Hyams, Licensed Professional Counselor
Thinking about therapy is an important first step that can make you feel vulnerable, anxious yet hopeful at the same time. Therapy is a process of collaboration between you and I to develop goals, identify your strengths and natural supports to address the issues that have brought you into counseling and explore how your life experiences have impacted your relationship with yourself as well as others.
I often tell my clients your mental health is just as important as your physical and spiritual health. Therapy can be hard but rewarding work. There are no guarantees in therapy but even the smallest step toward change can be a tremendous leap in the right direction.
