Healing Is Possible: Overcome Trauma, Reclaim Your Life
Specialized trauma therapy with Anthony A. Cernera, M.Ed., M.A., LPC-A using EMDR, parts work, and ego state therapy to help you heal from PTSD, Complex PTSD, and early attachment wounds. Available now in Greenwich, Westport, and Fairfield.
Living with trauma can feel overwhelming. Nightmares, triggers, shame, and broken trust may leave you wondering if healing is even possible. Many who carry childhood wounds or experiences of PTSD and relational trauma feel stuck in cycles of fear and disconnection.
But there is hope. With the right therapy, you can process painful experiences, reconnect with your sense of self, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Why EMDR Works
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the most researched and effective trauma therapies available today. EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic experiences so they no longer hold the same emotional power.
Clients often experience:
Relief from intrusive memories and flashbacks
Reduced anxiety and depression
Greater emotional balance
Stronger, healthier relationships
Renewed sense of hope and self-worth
The Power of Parts Work + Ego State Therapy
Trauma often fragments us. Different “parts” of ourselves can carry fear, anger, shame, or protect us from pain. Ego state therapy and parts work create a compassionate framework for understanding and healing these inner parts, supporting and strengthening the EMDR process.
When these methods are combined, clients often experience deep, lasting change.
Convenient Locations or Online Care
You can begin EMDR therapy where it works best for you. Sessions are available in Greenwich, Westport, and Fairfield, Connecticut, or through secure telehealth sessions if you prefer the comfort of your own home.
