EMDR Therapy Indianapolis

You want no part of this diagnosis…

or the treatment that accompanies it. You’ve felt so overwhelmed, but life keeps going and you haven’t even had time to fully process the news. You’re so tired, overwhelmed, stuck in grief and fear of the unknown. You don’t know where to direct the anger that bubbles up: at your body? your genetics? the environment? You find yourself increasingly lost in thoughts of what this could mean for your future. As questions swirl in your mind, you wonder “Why me?”.

You may even find yourself yourself delaying important medical care. Increasingly you’ve noticed more and more that you’re checked out of conversations, and it’s becoming more difficult to function day-to-day.  You’ve begun to feel like you’ll never shake this. It can feel so isolating and hopeless. 

So what’s happening and what’s next?

Medical trauma can result from a variety of experiences such as (but not limited to):

• Life threatening events

• Not being believed

• Severe pain and injury

• Diagnosis of a life-changing illness

• Invasive procedures, surgeries, or other treatments

Everyone reacts to traumatic events differently. Even the same individual may have a different reaction to traumatic experiences throughout their life depending on any number of factors. It’s not uncommon for many people to have an immediate reaction to trauma that gradually improves over time, without therapeutic support. However, sometimes a trauma response can linger, worsen, and become a barrier to everyday functioning. This is when the assistance of a trauma-informed psychotherapist can be critical in helping you navigate through the pain.

You don’t have to feel this way forever.

Welcome to Green Garnet Counseling, LLC. My name is Suzanne, and I help people who have been impacted by medical trauma to find their way toward healing and a full embracing of life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a certified EMDR therapist located on the northside of Indianapolis. Having worked in the field of Behavioral Health for over two decades, I understand that it can be difficult to find your footing when navigating the complexities of an overwhelming event.

Perhaps you don’t identify yourself has experiencing, “medical trauma”, but you wonder if it might be helpful to process some difficult news or circumstances in a safe and supportive environment. I often work with individuals who describe this experience, and therapy can be very beneficial as you work through this time in your life. Drawing from a variety of effective therapeutic techniques, I’ll work with you to develop a personalized approach to healing that works for you.
