  • As an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, Linnea specializes in providing a unique and effective form of therapy for individuals who have experienced trauma or distressing life events. EMDR therapy is a structured approach that helps clients process past traumatic experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and enhance their overall well-being. Using bilateral stimulation techniques such as eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones, the client is guided through the reprocessing of traumatic memories, allowing them to integrate these experiences in a more adaptive and less distressing way.
