Now Offering EMDR Therapy

Flourishing MaEum now offers EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing therapy.

EMDR therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.*

Minjoo Bayers, LMHCA is trained by EMDR Consulting, which is approved by EMDRIA, EMDR International Association. For more information on EMDR, please see emdria.org

It is fascinating to experience and witness how effective this modality is. Similar to when our brains are processing the day during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, we are accessing an ability that our brains already have - processing with both sides of the brain. The EMDR protocol applies our brain’s adaptive information processing to traumatic or disturbing events that disrupt normal processing.

Kara Baertsch (LMHC, one of Minjoo's EMDR coaches) says it this way:

Our brains/nervous systems already have this amazing capability to move toward health using innate processing mechanisms. With EMDR we are accessing these mechanisms in an intentional and conscious way to assist the process of adaptive information processing.
