EMDR & Trauma Therapy | Oakland, CA
Why is it that everyone else can seem to relax, but I am constantly on edge?
Why can’t I, just be “normal”?
Does this sound familiar?
It feels like no matter what you try, your emotions always seem to get the better of you.
Nothing you've tried to feel better seems to work.
There's a critical voice inside telling you that there must be something wrong with you.
The people around you seem to exist on a different planet. Their easy smiles and carefree lives feel like a foreign language.
You’ve been told you’re "too much," and that you need to "get over it."
You feel alone in this struggle. You're tired. And you’re desperately ready for things to change.
EMDR & Trauma Therapy can help you find real change in your emotions and relationships.
My name is Mary Fleisch and I am a Trauma and EMDR Therapist in Oakland, CA. I help people who have experienced difficult or traumatic experiences and/ or relationships heal from past wounds and find peace in their emotions and relationships.
I use a modern approach that combines EMDR therapy, IFS therapy & experiential practices that help you go deeper than just venting to heal at the root of your issues.
Clients I work with often feel “stuck”, feel like they have tried everything, and have been unsuccessful in talk therapy before. I help clients go deeper than just a venting session to get real lasting change in their relationships and emotions.
I specialize in supporting clients who have experienced:
Traumatic Events
Complex Trauma & PTSD
Childhood Loss of a Parent or Caregiver
Emotionally distant caregivers
Physical, Emotional, or Sexual Abuse
Narcissistic Abuse
Emotionally Immature Parents
