EMDR Therapy in Maple Ridge and Online Across BCYou may understand why you feel the way you do but still find yourself caught in the same reactions or beliefs about yourself. Past experiences can continue to feel present, affecting your confidence, relationships and sense of safety.I’m Carolyn Heppner, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and EMDR Certified Therapist with 20 years of counselling experience. EMDR is a central focus of my practice. I work with adults who want to address painful experiences and patterns that continue to affect their lives.My Approach to EMDRI bring a calm, grounded presence alongside warmth, honesty and room for humour. You can speak openly with me, including about experiences you’ve felt ashamed of or worried someone might judge.How we work with EMDR depends on your experiences, needs and readiness. There is room to develop ways of managing difficult emotions, explore what feels unresolved and work through experiences connected to current struggles. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly where those struggles began.Areas of FocusMy EMDR work often focuses on:• Trauma and PTSD, including childhood abuse, neglect and painful relationship experiences• Anxiety, panic and fears connected to past experiences• Self-criticism and beliefs such as “I’m not good enough,” “I’m not lovable” or “Something is wrong with me”• Distressing pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences• Grief and loss, including pregnancy loss• People-pleasing and relationship patterns shaped by earlier experiencesTraining and ExperienceI hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia and am an EMDR Certified Therapist through EMDRIA. I have completed advanced EMDR training and consultation beyond foundational training, including EMDR 2.0. My ongoing learning also includes trauma, attachment, parts work and the connection between mind and body.I welcome people of all genders, sexual orientations and relationship structures.AppointmentsIn-person EMDR sessions are available at Orenda Wellness in Maple Ridge, welcoming clients from Pitt Meadows, Mission and surrounding communities.
