EMDR Therapy

EMDR is a proven psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing, traumatic life experiences.

Our Board-Certified Psychiatrists and APRNs adhere to treatment that is a combination of medications and psychotherapy. Medication Assisted Treatment for substance use addiction has been proven to be the most successful tool for opioid (pain pills, heroin) addiction. Our treatment utilizes Suboxone and Vivitrol as well as other supportive medications.
