Comprehensive, evidence-based psychological care tailored to your needs
Psychotherapy is offered for issues you wish to work on in a private, therapeutic setting. My goal is to help you become the person who you want to be.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families to address a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions.
Dr. Bemel is a Certified, Advanced Level ART therapist.
ART works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. ART accomplishes this through the use of rapid eye movements similar to eye movements that occur during dreaming.
Although techniques similar to these are used in other types of therapies, ART's very specific and directive approach can achieve rapid recovery from symptoms and reactions that may have been present for many years. ART combines long-respected, sound treatment practices with safe and effective methods validated by current scientific research studies.
