EMDR Therapist for Hobe Sound, FL Women

Grief rarely follows a neat schedule. It can show up years after a loss, get tangled with old trauma, or arrive alongside life changes like an empty nest, a move or a shift in identity at midlife. Some women describe it as being fine in public and falling apart in the car. My grief counseling work makes room for all of that, without rushing you toward closure or telling you how you should feel by now.

When grief or distress is stuck to particular moments, such as a phone call, a hospital room or a hard goodbye, EMDR may help those memories feel less raw. We go slowly, and you remain in charge of what we focus on. If faith is important to you, Christian counseling is available as an option, with prayer or Scripture included only if you want them. If you don’t, your sessions simply won’t include them.

Some women prefer seeing a therapist outside their own town. There’s less chance of running into a neighbor in the waiting room, and the drive along I-95 or US-1 gives you time to shift gears. Afterward, the same drive can be a gentle buffer before you walk back into the rest of your day. If weekly trips feel like too much, an EMDR Intensive concentrates the work into one to three focused days.

Whichever format you choose, I work with the woman who is tired of being the strong one. In Hobe Sound, that might be the caregiver who has spent years looking after aging parents, the professional who moved here for calm and still can’t relax, or the mom whose children have grown and left a quiet house behind. Therapy for women is at the center of my practice, and each of these stories is welcome.

We start with a complimentary phone consultation. You can tell me as much or as little as you like about what’s going on, ask how EMDR works, and decide whether you’d like to schedule. I’m available Monday through Friday by appointment and respond within 24–48 business hours. Your first full session focuses on your history and goals, so there’s no pressure to dive into painful material right away. We build steadiness first.

Weekly therapy is $200 per 60-minute session, or $400 for a 2-hour session. Everyone receives a Good Faith Estimate under the No Surprises Act, and if you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill for possible partial reimbursement. EMDR Intensives are $1,350, $2,025 or $2,700 for one, two or three 3-hour days, and they’re private pay. Every intensive includes a 90-minute assessment, a 90-minute follow-up and a workbook to keep after you go home.
