Winder, GA — 9th July 2024: Comprehensive Counseling Services, LLC, a leading provider of mental health services in Barrow County, is pleased to announce the introduction of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This structured therapy is designed to help clients recover from trauma by focusing on distressing memories while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements.
EMDR is a well-regarded psychotherapy method that assists individuals in healing from the emotional distress and symptoms associated with traumatic experiences. The therapy focuses on altering the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors linked to these distressing events, allowing the brain to resume its natural healing process.
"EMDR therapy offers a unique approach to trauma recovery," says Valerie Wood, LCSW, C-CATODSW, EMDR-C, ACSW, and head of Comprehensive Counseling Services, LLC. "By guiding clients to focus on trauma memories while experiencing bilateral stimulation, we can help them process these memories and reduce their lasting impact."
The Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model underpins EMDR therapy. Under normal circumstances, the brain stores memories smoothly. However, during traumatic events, this process can be disrupted, leading to persistent emotional and psychological distress. EMDR therapy enables clients to access and reprocess trauma memories, effectively "repairing" the mental injuries associated with these memories.
"EMDR therapy has shown remarkable results in helping individuals overcome trauma-related symptoms," says a licensed therapist at Comprehensive Counseling Services, LLC. "The ability to reprocess and integrate distressing memories can significantly improve a person's mental health and overall quality of life."
Comprehensive Counseling Services, LLC is committed to providing accessible, effective mental health treatments to the community. The introduction of EMDR therapy expands the center's range of services, offering a powerful tool for those struggling with the aftermath of traumatic experiences.
Comprehensive Counseling Services, LLC, located in Barrow County, offers a variety of mental health therapies, including counseling for mental illnesses, marriage counseling, and behavioral therapy services. Under the leadership of Valerie Wood, the center employs a range of treatment methods and intervention techniques to support individuals facing mental health challenges.
"We are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their best mental health," says Valerie Wood. "The addition of EMDR therapy to our service offerings reflects our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and effective mental health care."
