Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an exciting, state of the art therapy that is offered at PsychArizona by Dr. Jim Schlichting. EMDR can be used to help treat those experiencing difficulties such as trauma, anxiety, phobias, grief, and depression. Memories are often not completely processed and become “stuck” in the Central Nervous System. Dr. Schlichting can help target and re-process those memories so that negative beliefs involving those memories can be re-structured in a positive way. Through EMDR, a profound change can be seen in behavior and emotions, and visual images that were once destructive can be altered in a positive way. Call PsychArizona today at 480-488-8221 for your free EMDR consultation with Dr. Schlichting.

I marvel at how much of what we do, what we think, and how we feel depends on the information we take in and what our minds do with that information. We all take in different information depending on our upbringing, our culture, and our individual opportunities. What is exciting is that we can influence what we do with that information in order to live a content life in the moment. As a neurologist, I have a keen understanding of how the brain and the body systems work together to accomplish this. As a therapist, I combine that knowledge with my training in psychology to help you accomplish the change you want.

Different techniques and approaches are used, depending on what works best for you. We may be very active in changing thoughts or behaviors or we may choose to focus on gaining insight and understanding about how past experiences affect current situations. For some people, this insight prompts one to reflect about today in order to do things differently. Developing that awareness and insight to accomplish change is a special interest of mine.

Dr. Schlichting is also a neurologist and has a neurology practice at 1134 E. University Drive, Mesa, AZ 85203. If you are interested in scheduling an appointment for neurological concerns, please call 480-834-9575 (or visit drjamesaz.com). If you are looking for psychotherapy, then you are at the right place!
