Hi. My name is Nick Elgin. Are you suffering from physical reactivity from trauma, emotional distress, or anxiety? I am a trained EMDR therapist that can help you reduce or eliminate your symptoms and free you from the distress that interrupts you from living a full life. My philosophy is to stand as your ally, and draw upon your expertise in your own personal story, to assist us in realizing the true future you would be thrilled to lead. Together, we will bolster your innate abilities, your internal strengths, to serve as the new bedrock for positive change.
I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which represents the foundation of my clinical practice. With EMDR you are able to proceed at a pace that feels right for you.
Whether you prefer to focus initially on learning skills to regulate emotions in distressing moments, or progressing further to address past trauma, we only move to your tempo. My practice also integrates methods from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solutions’ Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Choice Theory.
