Karen B. McIntyre-Burke, Specializing in EMDR Therapy
Did growing up in a wounded family cause lasting trauma?
The effects of trauma can be widespread and last a lifetime, but they don’t have to!
Have you experienced emotional pain that left you feeling unsafe, insecure, unlovable, and burdened by guilt and shame? Imagine waking up feeling peaceful and optimistic about your life and future. Picture having loved, grace-filled relationships and building a family you would have loved to grow up in. If you can envision it, you can achieve it. Let’s work through your old traumas incorporating EMDR therapy so you can become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Helping people heal from trauma is my passion.
As a therapist, I focus on uncovering the core issues causing anxiety, depression, distress, or pain in my clients’ lives. I see who people were meant to be before life’s brokenness and traumatic events affected them. My counseling style incorporates various modalities tailored to each client’s needs.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a vital therapeutic approach for treating trauma because it helps reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact. This therapy enables individuals to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences. EMDR is particularly effective for those suffering from PTSD, attachment wounds, anxiety and depression, and other mood disorders, providing relief and fostering long-term recovery. By addressing the root causes of trauma, EMDR empowers individuals to regain control over their lives and achieve emotional well-being.
Alongside EMDR, I utilize psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, inner healing modalities, ego state therapy, and more. In addition, I will teach you higher-level life skills needed to maintain your peace and create healthy relationships, enabling you to live your best life now!
