Starting Therapy

 

At Kindred Counselling we believe that choosing to engage in therapy is an act of self-care and movement toward health and wellness.

We have a lot of respect for our clients because we know it takes courage to commit to the therapeutic process and to do the work required to meet your goals. We know that starting this process can be intimidating and you may worry about being judged about what you’re going through, or what you've been through, but we have a non-judgmental approach and strive to provide a safe and comfortable space for you.

EMDR for Adults

​

Please click this link for a full explanation of EMDR from the EMDRIA website.

 

Kindred Counselling specializes in treating individual adults using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to overcome issues related to trauma. All of our therapists receive monthly consultation from an Approved EMDR Consultant. Research shows EMDR as the most effective clinical treatment method to treat PTSD. You may request research articles and we will gladly email them to you.

 

Trauma can be simply defined as an unexpected and disturbing event that occurs you are not equipped to cope with at the time. It could be an experience from a long time ago, on-going experiences, or something that just recently happened.

 

Sometimes we aren't sure if we are traumatized and down-play our experiences. But basically, if you are currently disturbed or bothered by something that has happened to you and it is currently impacting your life in a negative way, you are experiencing the impacts of trauma- and EMDR can help you.

​

So, big or small we can address the issues together and we will keep a safe and grounded space for you. We do not scare easily and you are in good hands with us.
