Client Testimonials


“After many negative experiences with therapists and psychiatrists, I decided to give Darby Integrative Counseling a try, mainly because I was drawn to the coaching component and EMDR for treating bad memories, PTSD, sleep issues, etc. It’s been incredibly helpful in bringing structure to my life and they actually addressed the specific needs I had been looking for in therapy for so long. ... Extremely professional, with clear boundaries, and a real sense of a goal in sight. I'm so thankful to them for changing my perspective on therapy, helping me keep my personal goals, and helping me find the mindset to be motivated and a selfstarter with my life and career.”


“Andrew Darby, the Executive Director, is incredibly passionate and hands-on. He’s built a team of people who have been truly beneficial to work with, and his dedication to both clients and staff is clear in everything he does. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer any of my close loved ones to this practice.”


“Service is unbelievable. I fully appreciate and love this practice. Highly recommended. They will make you feel safe and comfortable. And I appreciate the diverse staff and the clear dedication to inclusive practices.”


What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a scientifically validated psychotherapy approach that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences.

 

EMDR therapy was developed by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s and has since become one of the most extensively researched and effective treatments for trauma and PTSD.

 

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements) to help your brain process and integrate traumatic memories that have become “stuck.” This allows your natural healing processes to resume, reducing the emotional impact of disturbing memories.

 

EMDR therapy is recognized by leading organizations including the American Psychological Association, the World Health Organization, and the Department of Veterans Affairs as an effective treatment for trauma.
