Located by Atwater Market in Montreal, I work with clients in person and online. I treat trauma and PTSD symptoms with EMDR to free you from your emotional pain, disturbing images, negative beliefs, triggers, memories, and sensations. Please CLICK the "Schedule A Consultation" button at my WEBSITE to book a free 20-minute Zoom consultation - www.montrealemdr.com . My average client sees me for 4-7hrs and moves on! I am very busy and have a wait list, so please check the "wait list" option on my scheduler as I get a few cancellations a week. www.montrealemdr.com
Many of my clients can't get traction in "talk therapy", or are looking for a very focused approach to their trauma experiences because they still feel "stuck".
I offer hourly, half-day, full-day, and 3-5 day 'Intensives' - they all work, just at different paces. My spoken French is limited, but my understanding is good - this is a "feeling" process so we don't have to talk much! Mon Français parlé est limité, mais ma compréhension est bonne – c'est un processus de « ressenti », donc nous ne parlons pas beaucoup!
