Ms Kate Shevkenek

Registered Counselor

“I am a certified EMDR therapist specializing in rapid trauma therapy. Tapping into REM sleep, your brain adaptively processes information.”

About Me

As a certified EMDR therapist, I help individuals navigate the lasting impact of trauma. EMDR helps your brain process difficult experiences, similar to how it works during REM sleep. This technique can bring rapid relief and lasting change. If you're seeking a focused way to process the past, I offer a clear path to understanding. Our work together helps you find stability and move forward.

Approach

By engaging the brain's night-time processing rhythms, therapy helps unsettling memories settle into clearer perspective and reduces their emotional charge. In my Peachland office I meet with adults in English, pacing sessions to your tolerance and scheduling around your life. Treatment uses brief, focused memory sets with bilateral stimulation alongside grounding and practical regulation between sessions so you stay present and in control. This approach tends to suit people managing trauma, anxiety, addiction or mood difficulties who want steady, measurable progress.
