EMDR & Therapy Services
I am honored to be part of the Galia Collaborative in Cincinnati. I am an LPCC-S (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory designation) in Ohio. My speciality areas are trauma (incident-based or relational/complex trauma), dissociation, sexuality/gender identity, anxiety, depression, and related issues.
To work together for clinical treatment, counseling, post-traumatic stress, relationship issues, etc. you can email me at cfrazeekatz@galiacollaborative.com.
My Therapeutic Approach
As a trauma therapist, my approach is integrative and ‘bottom-up’ meaning that I start with how trauma has been stored in your body and how it impacts you. We go to the roots. The bottom. To the ‘subconscious’ mind where patterns, feelings and reactions are stored.
That circular fight where you and your partner continue to loop? The people-pleasing that is hard to stop? Those are all stored in our bodies. We can’t think or talk it away.
This is why I practice EMDR and why I’m certified in EMDR as well as an Approved Consultant. I like to help people get to the root of the problem so they have lasting change.
Change takes time. And commitment. I’m in it with you. I’m supporting you every step of the way.
Integrative Practice
While I consider EMDR a primary modality (because it works so well!), I incorporate ‘parts’ work like Internal Family Systems to help made sense of the patterns and the emotions being held by versions of us throughout our lives. I also incorporate DBT, CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy and other relevant practices to help you reach your goals. Healing is broad and often takes a variety of approaches and practices to get you where you want to go.
“I haven’t been in war, I can’t have trauma.” MYTH
I define ‘trauma’ with a wide lens. Events can impact us and create lasting patterns - anxiety, fear of speaking up, difficulty in relationships, generational trauma, effects of marginalization, etc.
Relational Trauma can be particularly difficult to spot and people can often unintentionally self-invalidate. I have heard from people over the years who have said “I wasn’t hit, so I wasn’t abused, right?” Abuse can also be neglect. Being yelled at consistently. Not feeling safe.
Let’s get to the roots to find healing.
