Susan McGilloway
I specialize in supporting first responders, active military, veterans and others who are experiencing the residual effects of PTSD. Through six years of using EMDR, the first line treatment suggested by the Center for PTSD, I have helped multiple clients identify, process, and change their self-defeating beliefs and the elements of their lives that create distress.
Approach to Therapy
Therapy is a partnership between client and therapist. We begin by setting goals, learning coping starategies to reduce the intensity of symptoms, identify and process negative and self-defeating beliefs. I work with clients to evoke their natural resilience to not only heal but thrive. Sometimes healing involves sessions with a partner or spouse as a couple to build satisfying and fulfilling relationships.
