David Strah
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Masters in Clinical PsychologyMy clients are a diverse group of people ranging from age 14-70 and representing all genders, sexual orientations and many races.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) relies on a client's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements, and is founded on the belief that these eye movements can weaken the intensity of emotionally charged memories. EMDR is most often used to treat PTSD or other traumas, but is also sometimes used for panic attacks, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety. EMDR sessions can last up to 90 minutes, and usually starts with a client rating their level of distress. A therapist then typically moves their fingers in front of your face (or sometimes toe tapping or musical tones), asking you to follow along with your eyes, while you recall a traumatic event and all the sensations that come with it. You will gradually be guided by the therapist to shift thoughts from the traumatic experience to a more comforting one. The goal of EMDR is to make disturbing memories less immobilizing. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s EMDR specialists today.

My clients are women, men, and nonbinary people. They successfully “put one foot in front of the other” to get through life, but feel constantly on edge or numb. I love working with helpers. If you tend to have room in your day and your life for everyone but yourself, and you want to know why you do that and HOW TO STOP IT (ok...realistically, do it less often, you're still going to be a caring and generous person after all), I'm the therapist for you.
Are you experiencing severe anxiety, overwhelmed by fear, struggling to sleep or confused by your loss of interest in things that used to bring you joy? Are you feeling emotional unstable in an intimate relationship, but stable in all your others? Do you say to yourself, 'something is not right', but can't pinpoint what it is? You may have been targeted by a Narcissist or experienced relational trauma. Together you and I will work together to discover the source and reclaim yourself.

You may feel sad, empty, numb, angry, hopeless maybe. You've entered a time in your life when you feel so many different painful emotions all at once you can't identify exactly how you feel or where they are coming from. Maybe you can't sleep at night, or focus when you are awake. Your anxiety is higher than normal and your doing things you normally wouldn't. I can help you get your life back in order and work through the hurts that are troubling you. Tomorrow can be better.

Survivor of trauma. Struggling with addiction. Creative. Do at least two of these three describe you? If you're struggling to get sober, you're fearful about the impact sobriety might have on your creativity (and life in general). If you're in early sobriety, you're trying to gain your footing in a new landscape. If you're a trauma survivor, you're confused as to why your insight & sensitivity aren't helping you get to that light at the end of the tunnel.
