If you have ever wanted to try EMDR, Vanessa Watt is a clinician to consider working with. EMDR is an effective technique for those who are dealing with persistent thoughts that aren’t helpful but not easily removed. Vanessa combines her training as a Marriage and Family Therapist with EMDR in a compassionate and clinical approach. She knows when to allow a client to give a narrative a voice in a session versus intervening and redirecting them towards restructuring their thought process. Since personal psychotherapy is recommended to those pursuing an academic path and eventual career in the mental health field, I believe it’s a must to find a supportive and effective clinician.
