Trauma & Grief Resolution

Grief and trauma can become frozen in a person’s mind and cause ongoing anxiety, nightmares, or eating disorders.

  • How can I stop these nightmares?
  • I was molested/abused.
  • I can’t seem to get past losing my loved one.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment protocol that can quickly minimize or eliminate disturbing thoughts and memories. This procedure uses bi-lateral brain stimulation to reprocess traumatic memories, leaving the memories intact, but no longer able to cause distress. This procedure has been used effectively to assist the victims of incest and sexual abuse, violence, combat, and grief. It is also an efficient technique for addressing phobias.
Practitioners of EMDR are licensed mental health professionals who have completed a comprehensive training course provided by approved trainers from the EMDR Institute. I have completed both Level I, Level II, and advanced training. I have successfully used this treatment with a significant number of my clients, some of whom were in therapy previously for months or even years. They were able to benefit dramatically after only two or three sessions!
One woman entered therapy due to depression. She could not mention her father without crying, although he had died 20 years previously. After only one EMDR session, she was able to remember her father with only warm feelings, no more tears. I also treated a recovering alcoholic who had previously been unable to remain sober because of an unresolved childhood sexual trauma. We were able to desensitize and process the trauma and he was finally able to remain in recovery. This treatment may be done in face-to-face sessions or via web video and significant results are possible within a short period of time.

I’m just in awe.  It has changed me by relieving the layers of anger and fear that have influenced my daily life.  I notice that little things don’t bother me the way they used to or not at all.

The use of EMDR was very helpful for me. In very short sessions it allowed me to take out of my chest some things that, with other methods, it could have taken many therapy sessions. It's amazing how productive it can be.

My experience with EMDR with Dr. Carol Clark was quite helpful to me. It helped me get past some difficult feelings surrounding my relationship with my daughter, Daniella, who is developmentally disabled. Those feelings had prevented me from fully enjoying my time with her. My experience after having several sessions of EMDR with Dr. Clark have changed my focus and allowed me to feel all the positives in the beautiful relationship I do have with my daughter.

Seeing Dr. Clark helped me tremendously... I often woke up with anxiety, and feelings so buried, they only show up as undercurrents of tension. In our first session, her skill in utilizing EMDR allowed me to consciously connect with the tension, and unravel its mystery. Not only did I feel safe enough to open up to my real feelings, I understood what they were about... I feel so much better...
