Children's Trauma Therapy

Children’s therapy, particularly when integrated with art-focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), offers profound benefits for children and teens. Art Focused EMDR  leverages children's natural creativity and expressive abilities, allowing them to process complex emotions and traumatic experiences. By using dual attention stimulus, EMDR helps to reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and making them more manageable. When EMDR is combined with drawing, painting, or other creative activities, children can externalize their inner world in a non-verbal and accessible way. Art-focused EMDR is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy that is particularly beneficial for children who have experienced trauma. Ultimately, this blend of creativity and science empowers children to transform their trauma into a narrative of healing and growth, providing them with lasting tools for emotional well-being.
