Getting to know Aunastasia Zsidiewicz
Are you experiencing the lasting impacts of traumatic experiences such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, shame, and negative beliefs about yourself? Are you ready to unlock healing and reclaim your life with EMDR Therapy? Would you like to rediscover a sense of peace and empowerment as you journey toward healing from the aftermath of trauma? You are in the right place if you have said "yes" to any of these questions! I offer online therapy to clients in the state of Washington, and if you are ready to set down the heavy weight of past experiences, enjoy the present, and feel excited about the future.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Walden University and specialize in using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to guide you through a transformative healing process. EMDR offers a proven, research-backed approach to alleviating the debilitating effects of trauma, such as anxiety, flashbacks, and distressing memories. Focusing on your unique needs, I create a supportive space for you to heal.
So often, our present thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are driven by our past. Together, we can work to identify coping skills based on your individual wisdom and strengths to overcome life challenges and help you take steps toward the life you would like to live. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!
What should a new client know about working with you?
One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.
Engaging in therapy, EMDR treatment, and alcohol and drug treatment can be intense - I take a direct yet warm approach to the therapeutic process and incorporate humor when appropriate.
I see therapy as a collaborative journey where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Together, we'll uncover the strengths within you and develop strategies to navigate life's challenges, both past and present.
I draw from diverse therapeutic modalities, tailoring my approach to your needs and goals
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences.
The beginning sessions will involve discussing what the client wants to work on and improving a client’s ability to manage distress. When ready for the next phases of EMDR therapy, the client will be asked to focus on a specific event. While the client focuses on the event, the therapist will begin sets of side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or taps. The client will be guided to notice what comes to mind after each set. They may experience shifts in insight or changes in images, feelings, or beliefs regarding the event. These sets of eye movements, sounds, or taps are repeated until the event becomes less disturbing.
EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue and it does not require completing homework in between sessions. EMDR therapy focuses on changing the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that have resulted from the distressing event, and allows for the brain to resume natural healing.
Throughout your therapy journey, you'll find wisdom, support, and guidance to help you navigate the depths of trauma. It is possible to shed light on the darkness, to reinstill hope, and to discover that, even in the face of trauma, there's a way to heal, to grow, and to thrive once more. Only you can decide to explore the intricate terrain of your trauma and find pathways to resilience, recovery, and renewed strength.
