Explore what I offer
I offer a free 15 minute discovery call to discuss services as well as to discuss getting you set up for your first appointment. If you are not sure EMDR is for you, lets connect and I would love to help you understand what EMDR is and if it is the best fit for you.
Your first appointment will be 90 minutes. During this time, we will get to know each other and build our plan for treatment
During our initial assessment we will decide together what works best for you. 3-hour intensives work great for therapy over a period of time. Some people choose 6-hour intensive sessions to get more work done at one time. Pricing will vary based on time scheduled ($600-1200)
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach that utilizes bilateral stimulation to facilitate access to memories often inaccessible through traditional talk therapy. By engaging the brain's natural healing mechanisms, EMDR enables clients to replace maladaptive information—frequently associated with traumatic experiences—with adaptive, positive information. This process alleviates distress at its source, fostering healthier beliefs about oneself and a stronger sense of grounding in the body. Unlike therapies focused solely on managing symptoms, EMDR empowers clients to actively heal and resolve underlying issues.

Let me introduce myself
My name is Shelby Werkema, LMSW, and I am an EMDR Certified therapist with over five years of experience. It has been a true honor to walk alongside individuals on their healing journeys. EMDR has profoundly impacted not only the way I practice therapy but also my own life. If you have felt stuck in life or therapy, EMDR might be a valuable option for you. This powerful approach enables you to access and process deeper thoughts, memories, and experiences that often remain out of reach with traditional talk therapy. Though intensive sessions, EMDR promotes faster and more sustained healing. I have witnessed its transformative effects firsthand, and I am here to support you as you take the next steps toward healing and growth.
