EMDR Basic Training Membership
Marlo Drago Therapy
I’m Marlo, a trauma therapist trained in EMDR. Most of the people I work with are used to holding things together for everyone else — as the fixer, the peacemaker, the one who copes. Underneath that, though, their nervous system is often stuck in fight-or-flight or shutdown, shaped by things like childhood trauma, family dysfunction, grief, or relationships where they never quite felt safe.I help clients get to the root of what’s driving that — not just manage the symptoms on top. That often means working through complex trauma, family-of-origin patterns like parentification and enmeshment, grief and loss, the impact of trauma on intimacy and relationships or the way old wounds resurface once you become a parent or caregiver yourself.I take EMDR preparation seriously — we build real safety, regulation skills, and resourcing before we ever process a memory, especially if you’re someone who dissociates or carries a complex trauma history. I use parts-work language throughout our work together, because I’ve found it helps people understand themselves with more compassion, not less. When we move into deeper processing, I offer longer sessions so there’s room to actually finish what we start.I also work with people who are living with chronic pain (migraine, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain disorder or unexplained pain. Often our pain is an alert to our system that something is bothering us emotionally. EMDR is a great therapy to help get to the root of the pain and help us navigate it. If you’re tired of everyone thinking things are great but internally you are just getting through the day and ready to feel like yourself again, I’d love to work with you. I’m currently accepting new clients for weekly or biweekly sessions.
