Carla’s treatment approaches include:

	EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)--a powerful treatment for decreasing or resolving the effects of traumatic experiences and the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. EMDR is also an efficacious treatment for anxiety disorders (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; Phobias; Generalized Anxiety)
	DNMS (Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy)--a comprehensive psychotherapy approach for helping adults who were abused as children, or who did not have important developmental needs met in their growing-up years. DNMS can relieve “stuck points,” unwanted symptoms or behaviors, and can help clients gain an increased sense of happiness, security and optimism in their adult lives.
	Integrative Mind-Body-Spirit approaches to help manage, reduce, or recover from severe stress, burn-out, mood disorders, acute emotional distress, grief, chronic illness, chronic pain, or addictions.
