We want to help you thrive.
Here at PRCC, we specialize in treating trauma and anxiety using the latest mind-body techniques. Our team is trained in several approaches that can create new insights into your feelings and behaviors, including ART and EMDR.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based treatment that utilizes eye movements and guided visualization to help your brain process difficult memories in a new way, making them feel less distressing. Unlike traditional talk therapy, you don't need to relive every detail of your trauma. Most people experience relief in just a few sessions, making ART a comfortable and powerful way to heal.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is another highly effective, short-term treatment that helps retrain your brain to process and heal from trauma. It is especially beneficial for reducing the emotional charge of traumatic memories and shifting how you perceive distressing experiences.
In addition to ART and EMDR, we also incorporate mindfulness tools and various evidence-based techniques to help you build skills that reduce suffering and enhance emotional well-being. We create a tailored plan based on your individual needs, helping you develop healthier ways to respond to life's challenges, improve communication, and identify and change unhealthy patterns as they arise.
Our #1 priority is the relationship you have with your therapist
Our clinicians have specialized training and experience in treating various areas, including EMDR and ART—both of which are short-term, evidence-based, and highly effective trauma treatments. When you reach out to us, you’ll be carefully matched to the best therapist to support you and your family.
If you're interested in working with a specific therapist, you're always welcome to inquire. You'll also have the opportunity to speak with your potential therapist via telephone during your free consultation. During this call, the therapist will share their background, and you can provide a brief overview of what you’d like to accomplish in therapy. If you decide to move forward, an electronic intake packet will be emailed to you, and upon completion, you'll be added to our schedule.
