EMDR trauma therapy in Miramar, gentle.
For Miramar adults carrying something old that keeps interrupting the present — EMDR helps the brain process what's stuck, without forcing you to retell the story.
Miramar, FL
About working with clients from Miramar.
Miramar's large Caribbean and Hispanic communities carry stories that often span more than one country — immigration losses, separations from extended family, the slow weight of acculturation, and sometimes events that happened long before arrival. Trauma like this lives in the body, and the body responds best to a body-aware approach.
Maria is EMDR-certified and works in carefully sequenced phases: stabilization and resourcing first, then processing — only when your system is ready, and only at a pace you set. The Weston office is about 20 minutes north of Miramar; secure telehealth is available if that fits your week better.
Some memories are most accessible in the first language they were lived in. Sessions can be held in English, in Spanish, or between the two — whichever lets the work land.
With 30+ years of experience and a gentle, collaborative posture, Maria works with single-incident events and longer-standing complex trauma alike.
