Specialties
Struggling with anxiety, stress, sleep, relationships, burnout, or even health issues? Many physical symptoms can be linked to fears, trauma, grief, or subconscious mental blocks that prevent you from achieving your goals and living your life more fully. We work together as a team, helping you make permanent, transformative changes in your life. I specialize in a variety of modalities from EMDR therapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic, hypnotherapy, ACT, and internal family systems (IFS), offering a custom client-centered therapeutic modality. Each person is unique, and therapy should be adapted to your personalized strengths and needs. I also specialize in life changes, grief, and spiritual guidance. For couples, I use Gottman Therapy.
History
Established in 2017.
As an EMDR therapist based in Los Gatos, I competed EMDR Part I&I training accredited from EMDRIA. Training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) was through the IFS Institute. I have advanced certification in hypnosis from the Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy, and also trained in NLP, meditation, natural medicine, and led meditation groups for the last 20 years. For couples, I am a Gottman-Trained Couples Therapist from the Gottman Institute, Level 1 & II. Received my Masters in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University as a Marriage & Family Therapist. Other certifications include Certified Grief Counselor, and speciality training in Anxiety, Panic Disorder, OCD, Social Anxiety, and Phobias. All of these certifications may seem like a lot, but at the end of the day, it is how we together work on your specific system to find what will heal you, allowing you to not just survive, but thrive. Mental Health is mind-body freedom to live your life more present and full.
Meet the Business Owner: Bridget M.
As an EMDR therapist combined with IFS therapy (Internal Family Systems), I specialize in helping clients overcome anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, OCD, perfectionism, trauma, and relational issues. For the last 20+ years, I also worked in natural health and wellness, focusing on mindfulness and nutrition. To better understand subconscious beliefs that hold us back, I am also a Certified Advanced Hypnotherapist to help reprogram the negative thoughts that cause anxiety, fear of failure, or avoidance. I am also a Certified Grief Counselor. Grief can be key component to overcoming traumatic experiences that have not been processed in the body. All my modalities, from EMDR therapy to IFS and hypnosis, focus on finding exactly what YOU need to heal and incorporate somatic, mindfulness-based, therapy approaches that reduce chronic stress, burnout, overwhelm, and intrusive thoughts.
