Carol Poston LMFT

From the first session, my clients feel respected. They feel that they have been heard and validated. I help clients move forward by drawing on their strengths to formulate a plan for change and creating a sense of hope. After several sessions, my clients begin to see their situation differently and have learned tools to help make changes in their lives.

I specialize in EMDR and The Flash Technique, rapid ways of processing trauma. When something happens that overwhelms our ability to handle it, it can be traumatic. Stored along with the memories of the event are also all the sights and sounds and a negative belief about ourselves experienced at that moment. Whenever anything reminds us of the event, it’s like we are right back at that moment. That’s why we so often feel stuck, unable to move forward. EMDR helps heal those memories so we see things from an adult perspective. These treatment methods are highly effective and quick! Many clients report a difference in a session or two. I also use a variety of other approaches including CBT, collaborative, solution-focused, narrative and emotionally focused therapies.
