Brainspotting and EMDR
We understand the challenges that life throws our way, and our goal is to support you in achieving harmony and balance in your life. When it comes to trauma treatment, we offer two powerful approaches: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting.
EMDR and Brainspotting are both highly effective therapies for trauma, but they differ in their techniques and approaches. EMDR utilizes eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to help process traumatic memories and unlock healing. Brainspotting, on the other hand, focuses on identifying and processing specific "brainspots" in the visual field, which relate to unresolved trauma.
Our expert, Dr. Choudhuri, is certified in both EMDR and Brainspotting techniques. Her expertise and experience bring a unique perspective and understanding to trauma therapy. Dr. Choudhuri is committed to meeting the whole person's needs – mind, body, and spirit – and believes that true healing occurs when all aspects are in balance.

EMDR
Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro, EMDR is a highly effective therapeutic approach for individuals seeking healing from traumatic memories and emotional distress.
EMDR therapy works by targeting distressing memories and facilitating their processing, leading to a resolution and relief from emotional pain. Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR incorporates bilateral stimulation techniques, such as eye movements, taps, or tones, to engage the client's brain in reprocessing traumatic memories. Through this process, clients can experience significant relief from symptoms and a transformation of negative beliefs about themselves, resulting in reduced emotional distress and physiological arousal.
Extensive research supports the efficacy of EMDR therapy, demonstrating its effectiveness in alleviating the symptoms of trauma and other distressing experiences. Studies have shown that a significant percentage of individuals with single or multiple trauma-related experiences no longer meet the criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after only a few sessions of EMDR. This powerful therapy has been recognized and endorsed by reputable organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization, and the Department of Defense.
At Sarva Psychotherapy and Wellness, our trained therapists utilize EMDR as part of our comprehensive treatment approach to trauma and emotional healing. Through EMDR therapy, we aim to provide our clients with a transformative experience that empowers them to overcome their past and move forward towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Brainspotting
Brainspotting is an innovative therapeutic approach that harnesses the power of eye positions to access and process deep trauma and emotional distress. Developed by David Grand, PhD, Brainspotting (BSP) has gained recognition and worldwide adoption as a highly effective treatment modality. At Sarva Psychotherapy and Wellness, we offer Brainspotting as a transformative tool to help individuals heal and integrate their past experiences.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting focuses on the subcortical brain, bypassing conscious thinking processes to reach the deeper, more emotional, and body-based aspects of our experiences. By locating specific points in the client's visual field, known as "brainspots," the therapist can access and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. This unique brain-based tool taps into the body's natural self-scanning and self-healing abilities, allowing for profound transformation and lasting change.
Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time or looking to expand your existing treatment approach, Brainspotting offers a powerful opportunity for growth and healing. Our therapists at Sarva are trained in Brainspotting and will guide you through the process with focus and precision. Brainspotting can be an integral part of your healing journey, helping you process trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational problems from the inside out, empowering you to live a more fulfilling life.
