Ah, the big one! EMDR, ART, ImTT are all State of the Art, Gold Standard treatment modalities for trauma I practice. I'm constantly amazed at two things: one, how resilient human beings are in their ability to survive trauma and then with the proper therapy to overcome the effects of that trauma; and two, how prevalent trauma is in our world. From Complex sexual trauma/molestation to missing the side of the trampoline and breaking a bone, to the trauma of being raised in an oppressive home, loss of job, status or lover, the effects are devastatingly limiting. I'm trained and experienced in EMDR, ART, and ImTT, all great trauma treatment modalities.

Christopher McDowell, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I have extensive experience treating children, adolescents, and adults for PTSD and trauma. I performed most of this work with families in the impoverished areas of Boston while I was with The Home for Little Wanderers Counseling Center. I would estimate that over 70% of my cases, during this eight-year job, were children and adolescents who were struggling with PTSD.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
Time doesn’t heal all wounds. You may have moved forward with your life, but still find yourself reacting in ways that don’t fully make sense—overthinking, shutting down, feeling on edge, or carrying emotional weight that never fully lifted.
Trauma can continue to affect how you feel and respond long after the experience is over. I help clients work through traumatic experiences so they no longer have the same hold on them. Using EMDR, we help the brain fully process what happened so it no longer carries the same emotional and physiological impact.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Healing trauma requires approaches that reach beyond traditional talk therapy. At Root & Rise, we use modalities specifically designed to calm the nervous system, reprocess traumatic memories, and reduce the emotional and physiological intensity that keeps past events alive in the present. Our clinicians offer RTM (Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories) for rapid relief from fear-based symptoms, EMDR to help the brain safely reprocess trauma and build adaptive beliefs, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to release stored emotional and somatic tension. Each method targets trauma from a different angle, allowing us to tailor treatment to your symptoms, history, and level of readiness. Whether you’re dealing with acute trauma, chronic PTSD, or the long-term impact of neglect, abuse, or fear-based experiences, this integrative approach helps you feel safer, more regulated, and more in control of your life again.
