Why EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is one of the most researched trauma therapies available today and is recognized as an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD by organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO), American Psychological Association (APA), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA/DoD). Research has shown that EMDR therapy can significantly reduce symptoms of trauma, anxiety, grief, and emotional distress while helping individuals feel less overwhelmed by painful memories and experiences. Many individuals with single-incident trauma no longer met criteria for PTSD after a relatively short course of this intensive therapy.

Clients often travel for their intensive therapy sessions and select a healing environment in a hotel or AirB&B. During this time, clients often engage in self-care and wellness practices that support deeper healing and recovery. This is an opportunity to focus on your healing journey, free from the daily grind of domestic and work life.

Dr. Guadagnoli is a fantastic therapist. She listens carefully, asks pertinent questions, then suggests alternatives if appropriate. Using EMDR she helped me deal effectively with, and overcome, multiple traumas in my life.
When beginning EMDR, she carefully laid out the plan so I understood the entire process. We worked on resourcing, including breathing techniques, body scanning and other tools so my emotions did not overwhelm me. At the end of each session, we reviewed what happened and what we could work on the next session.
Dr. Guadagnoli answered all my questions before, during and after our sessions. The sessions were well managed, yet fluid enough to change course if needed.
In short, I highly recommend Dr. Guadagnoli. The EMDR process has changed my life. I am still amazed at how well it worked for me. Much of the credit is due to Dr. Guadagnoli as she helped me effectively navigate, and overcome multiple traumas and situations in my life.

Dr. G worked with me intensively for 3 days after the traumatic loss of my best friend. I was lost and had no energy to work or love my life. She targeted the specific trauma memories that were continuing to show in nightmares and triggers in my everyday life.
Using EMDR we were able to get my trauma symptoms down to a level where I was able to start living my life again. I am greatful for my work with Dr. G and now understand how EMDR was able to help me when talk therapy was supportive but did not reduce my anxiety.
I recommend EMDR for anyone who is struggling with trauma memories.

I saw Dr. Guadagnoli this year virtually after suffering from a miscarriage. I was struggling with anxiety that was making it hard for me to want to try to conceive again. Doing EMDR online actually worked and I did good in one day. As a result I am feeling much less anxious and feel ready to move forward in trying to have a baby.

Dr. Kristi was helpful after my divorce. I had a hard time trusting people and moving forward with my life. The loss I was feeling was getting in the way at work, in my relationships and I couldn't escape the worry. After doing EMDR for 3 day long days, I was finally able to let go of the anger and feel good about the way I handled my divorce. I am moving forward with clarity and a lot of skills to manage stress.
