Dave Rosenberg, LPCA, NCC, SRT, EMDR Specialist
Dave believes that we often get trapped in stories about ourselves that we don't like. These stories can leave us feeling powerless, misunderstood or lacking in some way. But stories can be rewritten. Using EMDR, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy, Dave can help you free yourself from destructive and self-limiting stories. Dave is an LPCA trained in EMDR therapy. He is also certified as a Sexual Recovery Therapist, an Addictions Recovery Coach, and a certified Hypnotherapist.
Our Approach to Healing
At EMDR Associates, we recognize it takes courage to ask for support. Unresolved past experiences, persistent anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and deep emotional betrayal can leave you feeling exhausted and isolated. Our practice provides a safe, confidential space where you can feel understood and respected without judgment. We meet you where you are and help you process painful experiences so you can regain emotional balance.
Personalized, Evidence-Based Care
Healing looks different for everyone, so we tailor your treatment to your personal goals, pace, and comfort level. Working alongside a dedicated EMDR specialist, you have access to a range of proven therapeutic methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and mindfulness practices. This structured framework provides you with practical tools to work through difficult memories, reduce emotional stress, and restore confidence.
