Specialized EMDR Therapy for the Gold River Community
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly known as EMDR Therapy, represents a cornerstone of our clinical approach. This extensively researched therapeutic modality has transformed how mental health professionals understand and treat trauma, anxiety, phobias, and numerous other concerns.
EMDR Therapy works by helping your brain reprocess distressing memories and experiences in a way that reduces their emotional intensity. Many clients describe the experience as finally being able to think about previously triggering events without the overwhelming flood of emotions that once accompanied those memories. This neurological approach to healing often produces results more rapidly than traditional talk therapy alone.
Our therapists have dedicated significant training and clinical hours to mastering EMDR Therapy protocols. This depth of expertise allows us to apply the modality effectively across a wide range of presenting concerns, from single-incident trauma to complex developmental experiences.
Supporting First Responders and Military Personnel
First responders and military personnel face unique occupational stressors that can take a significant toll on mental health. Our group practice has specific experience working with law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, emergency dispatchers, veterans, and active-duty service members. We understand the particular challenges these individuals face and provide a therapeutic environment where they can process their experiences without judgment.
Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and Individuals
In addition to our EMDR expertise, Freedom Counseling Group offers Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for clients who would benefit from this attachment-based approach. EFT has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in helping couples strengthen their emotional bonds and develop more secure, satisfying relationships. For individuals, EFT principles can illuminate patterns in how you relate to yourself and others, offering pathways toward greater emotional regulation and interpersonal fulfillment.
Conditions We Treat
Our Gold River-area practice provides specialized care for a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, PTSD, depression, trauma, phobias, OCD, ADHD, and autism. Whether you are navigating generalized worry, panic attacks, performance anxiety, or the lasting effects of difficult experiences, our therapists bring evidence-based approaches that produce lasting results.
Flexible Session Options
Understanding that Gold River residents lead busy lives, Freedom Counseling Group offers both in-person sessions and secure online therapy options. Our online therapy sessions utilize HIPAA-compliant video technology that allows for the same quality of therapeutic connection you would experience in person. We support whichever format works best for your circumstances.
