GaiAnne Ghazaryan, RCC
Book An AppointmentI specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which can help to process trauma, anxiety, depression, panic disorders, low self-esteem, PTSD and a variety of mental health issues. If you feel overwhelmed, helpless or stuck dealing with your symptoms; EMDR can provide an effective and transformative psychotherapeutic outcome.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-centered. I guide clients to process the past, to connect with the present and to re-imagine the future. This is done through a safe, non-judgemental therapeutic dynamic. I want you to feel heard and to be understood; only then will you be able to make sense of the inner dialogue that so often is confusing and unattended.
