Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Complex PTSD often results from long-term exposure to trauma, causing emotional struggles, relationship issues, and feelings of hopelessness. To treat these symptoms, we use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) along with various therapy techniques to help manage avoidance, anxiety, and emotions. Our aim is to empower clients to improve their relationships and enhance their overall well-being.
Anxiety Disorders
Effective treatment is key for managing anxiety. At Candace Dickinson Counseling Services LLC, we use EMDR to help clients process trauma, making it ideal for those whose anxiety is rooted in the past. Our safe, supportive environment fosters healing, coping strategies, and resilience. Together, we empower you to reclaim your life and find peace amid chaos.
Medical Trauma
Medical trauma can leave deep emotional scars on individuals, often manifesting as persistent anxiety, overwhelming fear, or a profound mistrust in healthcare settings long after the initial traumatic experience has occurred. These feelings can make it incredibly challenging for individuals to engage with medical professionals or seek necessary care, hindering their journey toward healing and wellness.
Dissociation
Dissociation is a complex psychological response that can create a profound sense of detachment from the present moment, often acting as a protective coping mechanism during times of overwhelming stress or trauma. At Candace Dickinson Counseling Services, we take an empathetic approach to this experience by exploring how these defenses serve you in your life. We focus on integrating these dissociative aspects more fully into your sense of self, allowing for a more cohesive and grounded existence.
Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are incredibly intense and frightening experiences, often causing sudden fear along with distressing physical symptoms that can feel completely uncontrollable. At Candace Dickinson Counseling Services, we place a strong emphasis on identifying the underlying trauma that contributes to your panic. Together, we will work to build your confidence and equip you with effective tools and strategies to manage these challenging episodes, ultimately paving the way for a more fulfilling and joyful life.
