EMDR Therapist & Anxiety Therapy for Jensen Beach Women

Most anxious women I meet have already tried hard to fix it on their own. They’ve read the books, downloaded the breathing apps and told themselves to calm down. Those tools help, but when anxiety is tied to earlier experiences, coping skills can feel like bailing water from a boat with a leak. Therapy with me blends CBT, emotional-regulation skills and body-based work so you learn to recognize your own warning signs early. My anxiety therapy page goes deeper.

We also look at the bigger picture. Anxiety often travels with perfectionism, burnout, low mood or a sense that you’ve lost yourself somewhere between caring for everyone else and keeping up at work. Panic attacks and specific phobias are common too. Whatever form it takes for you, the aim is the same: to widen your window of tolerance so stress feels manageable instead of overwhelming. That window is a concept I teach early on, because once you can see it, you can start to work with it.

Sometimes anxiety traces back to something specific: a car accident on US-1, a medical scare, a frightening childhood home, or a relationship that left you on edge. EMDR is designed to help the brain reprocess those experiences so they stop setting off the alarm in the present. EMDR is recommended for PTSD by the World Health Organization and by the VA/DoD clinical practice guideline, and it’s also used for anxiety tied to past events.

You don’t have to relive your trauma to heal from it. Before we touch any memory, we spend time on preparation and resourcing, building calming skills you can use on the drive home and beyond. During processing, you stay aware and in charge, and we can stop whenever you need. The EMDR therapy page walks through all eight phases if you like knowing what’s ahead. Many anxious women do, and that’s welcome.

Reaching out is the hardest part for many anxious women, so I keep it simple. You call (561) 818-6964 or send an email, and we set up a free phone consultation. That call is a chance to ask questions, hear how I work, and notice how it feels to talk with me. There’s no pressure to commit. I’m available Monday through Friday by appointment and reply within 24–48 business hours.

Sessions are $200 for 60 minutes, or $400 for 2 hours, and a Good Faith Estimate comes first so you know what to expect. Prefer to work in concentrated time? EMDR Intensives run as one, two or three 3-hour days ($1,350, $2,025 or $2,700), including a 90-minute pre-intensive assessment, a follow-up session and a workbook. Intensives aren’t eligible for insurance reimbursement, so plan for them as a private-pay investment.
