Quiet warm coastal scene at dawn — trauma therapy and EMDR for Plantation, FL clients with Maria Van Thienen, LMFT

Plantation, FL

About working with clients from Plantation.

Plantation's residents include a large share of professionals in healthcare, law, and corporate roles — people who are often very capable at work and quietly struggling with something the body remembers more clearly than the mind does. Medical trauma, motor-vehicle accidents, loss, and longer-standing childhood material show up here often.

Maria is EMDR-certified and works in carefully sequenced phases — preparation and resourcing first, then processing only when your system is ready. The Weston office is about 15 to 20 minutes west via I-595; secure telehealth is available if that fits your week better.

EMDR is not about retelling the story over and over. Sessions are structured into short, grounded segments, and you stay in control of the pace throughout.

Bilingual support (English / Español) — some memories are most accessible in the first language they were lived in.

Common questions — Plantation

A few specifics.

Is EMDR available to Plantation clients by telehealth?

Yes. Online EMDR is well-supported and works for many clients. For those who prefer in person, the Weston office is about 15 to 20 minutes west via I-595.

How many EMDR sessions will I need?

It depends on the history. Single-incident events sometimes resolve in a handful of sessions; complex or longer-standing trauma takes more time and more capacity-building before processing begins. The pace is yours to set.

Can EMDR help if I can't talk about what happened yet?

Yes. EMDR doesn't require detailed retelling. We start with grounding and resources; processing comes later, and only when you're ready.
