What to expect in general psychotherapy:
Psychotherapy is a unique experience where the professional providing therapy uses different approaches to help structure sessions. Often, the individual and therapist work together to develop treatment goals and address concerns and gain insights about self. Dr. Holbert uses measures at the start and throughout to gage changes in common symptoms that lead people to initiate therapy and to help track growth.

What to expect with EMDR:

EMDR is a unique form of treatment in that it does not require nearly as much talking as other forms of psychotherapy. This treatment is designed to help identify and process targets that are often associated with anxiety and trauma responses using bilateral stimulation (movements engaging both sides of the body). More information is provided during initial sessions.
