Our Psychologists

Our psychologists use EMDR and other evidence-based tools, tailoring therapy to each client’s needs. One of our core values is ensuring that no matter who you see, our team are equally as skilled in delivering EMDR. Our founder, Janine, carefully trains all psychologists at the practice in EMDR using her structured approach, so every client experiences the same high standard of care.
