Individual counseling sessions with a counselor certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offer a unique and integrative approach to therapy. In these sessions, the counselor will use evidence-based techniques from both DBT and EMDR to help clients effectively address and manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
During DBT-informed therapy, the counselor will focus on helping clients develop skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are designed to help clients cope with intense emotions, improve relationships, and increase overall well-being.
In EMDR sessions, the counselor will guide clients through a structured process that involves rapid eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. This technique is used to help clients process and reprocess traumatic or distressing memories, thoughts, and beliefs, leading to a reduction in symptoms and an increased sense of empowerment and resilience.
Overall, individual counseling sessions with a counselor certified in DBT and trained in EMDR provide clients with a comprehensive and personalized approach to healing and growth. Through the integration of these two modalities, clients can experience profound and lasting changes in their lives.
