Have you wondered if there might be new coping skills you could learn to help you feel better faster? For clients experiencing frequent intense emotions, PTSD treatments like EMDR Therapy and ITCT (both described below) frequently include an initial preparation stage to build new coping skills and increase positive emotional experiences prior to beginning to process past trauma. In my practice, I often incorporate elements of treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) when appropriate to help clients gain both the coping skills and the increased awareness of their inner landscape that they need to better manage intense emotional responses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b54d2ef2978c553b97dd21/1622517109709-YC076C6JLLNEKNTSTE4D/head-4653696_1920.jpg Online Therapy: EMDR, ITCT, Sandtray – Jamie Martos, MSW, LCSW - California CA - Missouri MO - EMDR Do you feel trapped by your past, overwhelmed by memories, nightmares, or negative self-beliefs and emotions? Perhaps you have struggled with anxiety since an especially stressful life event or have found yourself paralyzed and numb, unable to bring yourself to make the steps you want to make towards future goals. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a powerful evidence-based treatment for PTSD and other trauma and stressor related disorders. EMDR Therapy can also be used to effectively treat anxiety that links back to upsetting past events. With its capacity to unlock memories that have gotten stuck, EMDR Therapy allows you to heal from the symptoms of PTSD by stimulating your brain’s natural capacity for healing. After reprocessing is complete, many find that the way they feel and think about the past is transformed, empowering them to move forward into their future with new freedom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b54d2ef2978c553b97dd21/1622518525576-TEBRV3RAMQTMSIOA7G2G/analysis-299692_1920.jpg Online Therapy: EMDR, ITCT, Sandtray – Jamie Martos, MSW, LCSW - California CA - Missouri MO - ITCT-A Feeling as though you don’t know where to turn and hope is out of reach? With its focus on building a trusting, safe relationship with your clinician, Integrative Treatment for Complex Trauma for Adolescents (ITCT-A) is a client-centered trauma treatment that will allow you freedom to set a pace that is right for you. As an evidence based approach, ITCT-A is used to treat symptoms of PTSD as well as other trauma and attachment related symptoms in adolescents and young adults who have been traumatized more than once. This approach to the treatment of complex trauma allows for maximum flexibility in treating the trauma symptoms that are most impacting you at a pace that is right for you. Through regular conversation with your therapist, treatment priorities are re-evaluated and updated based on your current needs so that your treatment can continue to progress and move you towards the goals that matter most to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b54d2ef2978c553b97dd21/1622517339759-IZ0QAJ3K6LBFBQELM8IY/therapy+hope+tray.png Online Therapy: EMDR, ITCT, Sandtray – Jamie Martos, MSW, LCSW - California CA - Missouri MO - Sandtray Play Therapy Have you ever been overwhelmed by emotions that you are unable to name? Or found yourself caught in a memory but unable to explain to others what is happening? Trauma affects the regions of the brain that are responsible for concentration, focus, and speech, making it difficult to process traumatic events verbally or cognitively. Sandtray Play Therapy offers an alternative to words that allows your hands and unconscious mind to explore and process trauma through symbols, miniatures, and play in the sand. While it can be used as a stand-alone approach, Sandtray Play Therapy is also frequently used as an adjunct approach in trauma treatments like EMDR and ITCT. It is a form of play therapy that can be used with children, adolescents, and adults alike. https://www.jamiemartos.com/home daily 1.0 2024-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b54d2ef2978c553b97dd21/1624940977043-VF15JZIMWH0UPV3HO65L/woman-5960093_1920.jpg EMDR Online for Teens, & Adults – Jamie Martos, MSW, LCSW - Helendale, CA - Barstow, CA - Providing you with a safe space to heal. When you are struggling with symptoms of trauma like flashbacks, jumpiness, and feeling on guard, leaving home can feel frightening. Small reminders of trauma can send your heart racing and mind spinning, making unfamiliar places feel threatening. These symptoms prevent many from seeking trauma treatment in a traditional office setting. Yet effective, evidence based treatment for trauma requires the healing presence of a trusted guide. For many, telehealth is a helpful solution that can allow you to work closely with a trained therapist while in familiar surroundings. Receive trauma-informed care from the comfort and security of your home and find freedom to live life more fully again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b54d2ef2978c553b97dd21/1624941025519-3ULD08C0ETVIWKFQKPXH/photo1.jpg EMDR Online for Teens, & Adults – Jamie Martos, MSW, LCSW - Helendale, CA - Barstow, CA - About Me. Greetings, and welcome to my website! I am a native Californian and bicultural therapist who returned home to San Bernardino County during the pandemic after living and working in St. Louis, MO for several years. As an EMDR-certified therapist for anxiety and trauma, you will find me to be a warm, genuine guide for your healing journey. I have a passion for working with clients who are struggling with trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, stressful life transitions, and traumatic loss. I know that a trusting relationship with your therapist is what makes therapy effective, and I will work to form this with you. In addition to EMDR, I draw from several other therapies, such as CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Sandtray Play Therapy. Together, we will tailor your therapy to meet your specific needs. I am happy to announce that I am now offering in-person therapy in Helendale, CA on Wednesdays and Fridays. I also currently offer EMDR therapy online in both California and Missouri via a HIPAA-compliant platform. To learn more about my clinical experience and training, click here.
