Arabeth Mashek: EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
Arabeth Mashek, LPC, LMHC, joins the chat to tell Melissa and Staci that lightbars aren’t just for ceilings anymore. She’s the owner / operator of Three Creeks Counseling in Vancouver WA, and specializes in helping those with anxiety and trauma histories, heal from past difficulties so they can live rich, meaningful lives. In addition to traditional talk therapy, she employs EMDR as a psychotherapy treatment that helps clients heal from both incident based trauma like PTSD and/ or chronic buildups from the past, that continue to limit her clients in the present. She has found that EMDR can be a relatively quick alternative to traditional psychotherapy when clients are not seeing results, with high success rates.
With her 20 years of experience in group practice, community mental health settings, residential treatment centers, primary care physicians, and in special education classrooms, she serves clients remotely, and in person, from her office in Vancouver, WA. When she’s not counseling, she enjoys getting outside to garden, hike, run, and spend time with her two children and two fuzzy felines.
Despite Melissa and Staci getting the EMDR acronym wrong repeatedly, we think you’ll appreciate her down to earth approach and light touch (pun intended) she brings to mental health. Welcome, Arabeth!
