What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process traumatic memories, reduce distress, and reframe negative beliefs. It’s particularly effective for PTSD, anxiety, and deeply rooted trauma.

🔹 Helps reprocess traumatic experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming.
🔹 Reduces emotional triggers, flashbacks, and anxiety.
🔹 Strengthens your ability to cope, regulate emotions, and build resilience.
🔹 Provides a structured yet gentle approach to trauma healing.

EMDR isn’t about forgetting the past—it’s about freeing yourself from its hold.

Meet Your Therapist

Headshot.jpg

Hi, I’m Ted Thao, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate supervised by Gloria Mann, National Certified Counselor, a certified trauma professional, and a Licensed Chemical Dependacy Counselor-Intern.

​

I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, and personal growth in a way that feels safe, affirming, and empowering. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally informed, ensuring that you feel truly heard and understood.

​

🌿 My Philosophy on Healing
I believe that healing isn’t about “fixing” what’s broken—it’s about rediscovering your strength, learning new ways to cope, and creating a life that aligns with your values. Trauma and anxiety can make it difficult to trust yourself or feel at peace, but therapy can help you build resilience, self-compassion, and clarity.

​

🌱 What You Can Expect in Therapy
✔ A non-judgmental, supportive space to explore your emotions at your own pace.
✔ A personalized approach that considers your unique experiences and background.
✔ Tools to help you manage anxiety, set boundaries, and improve emotional well-being.
✔ A culturally aware lens, especially for those navigating AAPI identity, intergenerational trauma, or cultural stressors.

💡 Therapy isn’t just about processing the past—it’s about equipping you with the tools to create the future you deserve.

How Therapy Can Help

Many people carry the weight of trauma, anxiety, and stress without realizing how deeply it affects their daily life. Therapy is a powerful tool that provides not only relief but also long-term growth and healing.

🌱 In therapy, you can:
🔹 Reprocess past trauma safely with EMDR – EMDR helps you move through painful experiences without feeling stuck in the past.

🔹 Manage anxiety & stress – Therapy helps you identify triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and create a sense of calm.

🔹 Heal from intergenerational & cultural trauma – If you’re navigating AAPI identity, family expectations, or cultural pressures, therapy offers a space to process these experiences and create your own path toward well-being.

🔹 Improve self-esteem & relationships – Trauma can affect how you see yourself and connect with others. Therapy helps you set boundaries, build self-worth, and create healthy connections.

🔹 Regain a sense of peace & confidence – Therapy provides the tools to help you take control of your emotions, develop resilience, and move forward with clarity.

No matter where you are in your healing journey, you don’t have to do it alone.
