Jana Longacre, LCSW, LIMHP

I am an experienced therapist who is dedicated to helping individual adults overcome their trauma, specializing in EMDR as an effective mode of therapy.

I am focused on supporting adults to move through difficult experiences to create fuller more joyful lives. I provide EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy to adults who have experienced PTSD & trauma in their lives and feel stuck or unable to move forward. This type of therapy enables the brain to process emotions, images, sensations and negative beliefs about themselves which are connected with unprocessed trauma. EMDR therapy doesn't require talking in detail about the distressing issue. It allows the brain to resume its natural healing process, and often more quickly than other psychotherapies. Because of the focus on shifting negative beliefs and building coping skills, EMDR can be highly effective for depression. EMDR is not just talk therapy. It also helps to support the nervous system, which plays a large role in anxiety and panic attacks. Grief often functions like trauma in the brain. EMDR can support those who are grieving find more peace and hope for the future. EMDR can support survivors of sexual abuse and allow them to move forward into healthy relationships. Stress affects all of us at some point in our lives. EMDR therapy can support those going through a difficult time.

My practice is faith-based. I believe Jesus Christ is our Great Physician and He works through me to bring wholeness to my clients.
