Trauma-focused psychotherapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can help individuals understand their experiences, process painful memories, challenge trauma-related beliefs, and develop healthier ways of responding.

Trauma affects the way a person thinks, feels, relates to others, and experiences safety in their own body. Sometimes, even after the painful event is over, the nervous system continues to respond as if the danger is still happening. EMDR can help!

Animal-assisted therapy is often viewed as a complementary intervention, but the research base is growing. While it does not replace evidence-based eating disorder treatment, medical monitoring, nutrition rehabilitation, family support, or trauma-informed therapy, animal-assisted interventions may offer something deeply meaningful: a pathway into safety, connection, embodiment, and emotion regulation.
