Does this sound familiar?
Some parents find they need individual therapy in order to address their own child within so they can be more successful at connecting with the child in front of them.
You worry...
you don’t have the skills needed to take good care of your children’s emotional and psychological health.
You're frustrated...
that you’ll repeat your parent’s mistakes or realize your worst fears about yourself.
You're tired...
of worrying about whether or not your behavior is hurting your relationship with your child.
You just need...
support to help you better understand yourself and your children and create healthy relationships.
You want to embrace your role as a parent

We understand. At EMDR Resource Center, we’re here to help you acknowledge your emotions and overcome the burdens you’re facing. Together, we’ll make sure you’re given the support you need to stay calm, grounded, and self-regulated when cultivating relationships with your children.
