healing tool in situations involving the after- effects of trauma. The goal of E.M.D.R. treatment is to assist a client in transforming the dysfunctional effects of a negative traumatic event to a level of healing through a technique of "de-sensitization". A trained clinician utilizes a specified directive of client eye-movement as a process of decreasing the traumatic impact of a crisis memory which may be impairing a client's positive functioning.

Individuals who are suffering the after effects (ie. anxiety, depression, fear, sleep disturbance) of a traumatic event.

• rape
  
• a severe vehicle accident
  
• a criminal act such as robbery
  
• an assault/abuse
  
• troubling childhood memories

Ethically, only specially trained, approved clinicians should utilize E.M.D.R. as a psychotherapeutic intervention.

We at Lidkea Stob Venema and Associates have two clinicians who are registered as E.M.D.R. therapists:

Ena Koole-Vandezande, MSW CSW (Certified EMDR Therapist) and
Diana Cunningham, BA MA (Certified EMDR Therapist)
