A Powerful Tool for Trauma Recovery

Effective EMDR Therapy for Children & Youth

At Catalyst Mind Center, we know that EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can be a powerful tool for children and youth processing traumatic memories from abuse, accidents, or bullying. Our registered psychotherapists specialize in child-adapted EMDR counselling to help young clients navigate change with confidence. We focus on strengthening resilience, facilitating safe memory reprocessing to diminish distress and restore emotional equilibrium with gentle, creative adaptations.

EMDR for young people is adjusted for shorter attention spans and developmental levels. Our therapists modify bilateral stimulation with games or tapping to reprocess disturbances, reducing symptoms like fear or behavioral issues. We integrate EMDR with supportive elements to safeguard mental and emotional health, ensuring sessions are brief, engaging, and parent-involved for optimal outcomes in trauma resolution.

Traumatic memories causing flashbacks or avoidance
Emotional dysregulation from past events
Behavioral problems rooted in unresolved trauma
