Process Trauma Without Reliving It

Trauma can leave lasting emotional and physical effects long after an event has passed. If you are searching for an EMDR therapist in St. Petersburg, you may be struggling with intrusive memories, emotional triggers, anxiety, or difficulty feeling fully present.

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, research-supported treatment that helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences. Rather than repeatedly retelling painful memories, EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity connected to them.

As part of our therapy services in St. Petersburg, EMDR is used to support clients experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and long-standing emotional distress.

• Trauma & PTSD
• Childhood Trauma

"Back on My Feet!"

"When I first started therapy at authentic well being I was feeling so lost in my life. I was a mixture of anxious, depressed, and unhappy with the general direction of my life. I didn't think things would get better but I decided to give therapy a shot anyways because I was out of options. Suffice to say it was the greatest decision of my entire life. Since starting, I have changed in ways that I thought were unimaginable and am now living a life that I had always dreamed of. But most importantly I just feel so much better on a day to day basis. I honestly couldn't recommend starting therapy hear any more.
