EMDR for Children

There is a very powerful type of therapy known as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which has been created by Dr. Fancine Shapiro to help people heal from trauma. Now this type of revolutionary therapy, typically found to be highly effective for adults who have experienced serious and negative events, has been tailored to work well with kids too.

An EMDR child friendly version has been effectively utilized with children experiencing a wide variety of emotional and psychological problems including PTSD, anxiety, phobias, depression and attachment disorders. Research studies have showed that positive results can be achieved by using EMDR with children.

Carol Corcoran, LCMFT, LMFT has gone beyond her EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapy with adults and has completed additional training and coursework through the Child Trauma Institute and with Ana Gomez, LPC in order to more effectively treat children with a child friendly version of EMDR.
