Have you heard of EMDR therapy?

At The Quiet Grove, we offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy designed to help people process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. EMDR works by helping the brain reprocess difficult memories so they feel less overwhelming and disruptive in daily life.

EMDR is commonly used to treat trauma and PTSD, but it can also be helpful for anxiety, panic, phobias, grief, and other experiences that feel “stuck.” Many clients find that EMDR allows them to move forward in ways they haven’t been able to through talk therapy alone.

Our clinicians are trained in EMDR and provide this approach in a safe, supportive environment. If you’re curious about whether EMDR might be right for you, we would love to talk with you.

If this sounds like something that could help you or someone you care about, reach out to our office today. Healing is possible — and you don’t have to walk that path alone.

In this week’s , a reader wrestles with this question:

What do you do with parents who say they didn’t know you were suffering… even when the signs were everywhere?

Yet… this isn’t about proving what his parents did or didn’t know.

It’s about whether breaking a long-held silence is an act of repair—or something you do for yourself, regardless of how it’s received.

As I write in this week’s column:

Healing doesn’t always come from getting the response you want. Sometimes it comes from no longer organizing your life around the hope of it.

What do you think?

“Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.” - Brené Brown

It sounds simple, but it’s something many of us forget. We are often our own harshest critics, saying things to ourselves we would never say to a friend or someone we care about. Mental health is closely tied to that inner voice, and learning to be kinder and more patient with yourself can make a real difference.

Self compassion is not selfish. It is necessary. Being gentle with yourself is an important step toward healing, growth, and overall well being.

If you are ready to work on changing that inner dialogue, we are here to help.

Finding inner peace is something we must all try to accomplish throughout life. It's not always easy, but there are smaller things you can focus on that help. The main idea is to "control the controllables!"
