EMDR for Birth Trauma

Unfortunately, trauma is a common experience for people who have given birth or who have been pregnant. There are times when traditional talk therapy can be supportive in processing and healing from traumatic experiences. Other time, additional and alternative forms of therapy may be needed.

I provide EMDR for people who are looking for this type of trauma healing. If talk therapy has not felt helpful, or if you are looking for added support prior to beginning talk therapy (or in conjunction with talk therapy). Learn more at the link below and schedule your initial consultation.

You did not deserve the trauma that you experienced. You also don’t deserve to be weighed down by your traumatic experience indefinitely.

This type of trauma therapy is also appropriate for partners and birthworkers who were present for a traumatic birth. Vicarious trauma is real, and I proudly provide this service to people who experience birth trauma, even if they are not the ones who gave birth.
