EMDR Therapy in Edmonton
and Across Alberta
Dr. Hamilton is an EMDR Consultant and provides EMDR therapy in Edmonton for adults working through trauma and attachment wounds.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured trauma therapy approach that may help the nervous system process experiences that feel “stuck.”
As an EMDR Consultant, she also provides consultation to other therapists seeking certification or advanced training in EMDR. This positions her as a leader in trauma-focused care within Edmonton and Alberta.
In addition to EMDR, her clinical training includes:
Attachment-Focused Trauma Therapy for Adults
Flash EMDR Protocol
Attachment and Dissociation Assessment and Treatment
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Prolonged Exposure
Internal Family Systems
Her integrative approach allows therapy to be paced carefully and collaboratively, with attention to nervous system safety and consent.
A Personal Understanding of the Power of Connection
Dr. Hamilton shares that her work is deeply connected to her own lived understanding of how essential love and healthy supportive relationships are for human wellbeing.
Trauma can disconnect us from trust, from others, and from ourselves. It may lead to isolation, hyper-independence, or difficulty maintaining emotional boundaries.
Through both professional training and lived experience, she holds a steady belief in the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of growth through safe connection.
At our center, we understand that healing relational trauma is not about forcing vulnerability. It may begin with feeling safe enough to be seen.
