Lydia Carrick
EMDR Certified Therapist & Approved EMDR Consultant - LMHC
I am a trauma-informed therapist who believes strongly in the brain’s innate ability to move towards healing. EMDR is an evidence-based practice for trauma; but it can be applied to a variety of issues. The process entails working with thoughts, emotions & the body (somatic). What is felt in the body is connected to a filing cabinet of related memories in our nervous system. Through stimulating rapid-eye movement (akin to the process of dreaming), a person is able to reprocess those experiences where the memory no longer activates a somatic response. The memory is not forgotten, but no longer carries negative meaning. This frees up the person to live fully in the present, letting go of past fears.
I am currently accepting clients interested in EMDR Intensives. EMDR Intensives are for folks who have been in talk therapy for years & still ‘feel’ the same. Or, perhaps you want help now & don’t want to wait! Or, you can’t find time for the unending weekly model. Or, you are ready for intensive work so you can move on with your life.
