Getting to know Allison Gaydos

I'm an experienced EMDR trauma specialist & I love supporting adult children of emotionally immature parents, adults, college students, and post-college grads navigating early adulthood. My clients come to therapy to heal from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, reduce traumatic memories, and get to know their healthier adult self. We will work on boundary setting and building rewarding relationships. I focus on: • EMDR for trauma and PTSD/Clinical Hypnosis/Internal Family Systems (IFS) • Overcoming depression and anxiety • Recovering from abuse (physical, sexual, emotional) • Dealing with emotionally immature parents

What should a new client know about working with you?

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I want you to know that healing is possible--it does not have to be like this. I’ll start off by hearing your story and walking you through a set of questions that help me understand your therapy goals. Depending on your goals, I will suggest the best treatment approach, perhaps a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), clinical hypnosis, and talk therapy. EMDR is a powerful method to reprocess and reduce traumatic memories and the high-intensity emotions they trigger and combining it with hypnosis can produce a more powerful effect. My clients often see significant improvement within two months of starting therapy.
