I use EMDR, CBT, and other techniques in a way that is unique to your trauma resolution journey.
You've been going through the motions, avoiding the pain, sometimes barely hanging on, and trying to live a "normal," happy life. But, it all keeps creeping up interrupting your hopes and goals, negatively impacting your day to day life, and creating relationship struggles. Childhood trauma might be coming up or a more recent traumatic event. Maybe you're struggling to move on after divorce. Either way, your life isn't going the way you want it to. I can help you heal and move beyond the experiences that are wreaking havoc on you, so that you can have the life and future that you want and deserve.

Hello, my name is Maria Culcasi. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) In California for nearly 20 years. I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. I use EMDR and CBT to help clients work through their thoughts and emotions, cope with life's stressors, and find more ease in their life. I typically work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and current and/ or past trauma. A little bit of stress is a good thing. It gets us out of bed in the morning and motivated to work towards our goals.

I help individuals identifying as people pleasers or caretakers who put aside their own needs, wants or desires for others. They also struggle to make time for themselves. They are giving, strong, determined and intelligent individuals who don’t see how to give care to themselves. When they first come in they are exhausted and expressing needing a break, wanting to take a step away from their family and friends. Feeling guilting for wanting to get away from the people they love. What do they need? What do you need? You, like my clients, need love, self-care and peace of mind.

My typical client is not looking for a one-size fits all approach, they are looking for a creative solution, one which they have not already tried themselves. Initially coming in for therapy my client may feel anxious, depressed, have insomnia, relationship troubles or struggle with putting their phone away. I enjoy working with teenagers who spend too much time on their phones and are showing signs of emotional instability. I enjoy helping families and couples who are drifting apart, yet want to earnestly work on mending their relationship.

EMDR Therapists

Who is EMDR for?

EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?

People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?

First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?

First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
