Gayla Graven, LCSW

I am trained as an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) certified therapist and a Consultant. I specialize in complex trauma from childhood including sexual abuse and religious abuse, addictions, codependency, and self-esteem issues. I am dedicated to helping people heal from their past and construct the future they desire. For anyone dealing with sleep disturbance, resurfacing memories, active addiction, relapse, or panic attacks, please know there is help and recovery!

As a therapist at Beyond Healing Center, my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been instrumental in helping clients overcome trauma and related challenges. EMDR is a transformative therapy that allows individuals to process distressing memories and experiences in a safe and structured manner. With my certification and expertise in EMDR, I specialize in addressing complex trauma, including childhood sexual abuse and religious abuse, as well as addictions, codependency, and self-esteem issues.

Through EMDR therapy, I facilitate bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, to access and reprocess traumatic memories. This process enables clients to achieve resolution and healing, empowering them to move forward in their lives with greater resilience and well-being. As an EMDR Consultant, I also provide guidance and support to other therapists within our practice, ensuring that clients receive the highest quality of care.

My approach to therapy is compassionate and client-centered, creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to explore and process their experiences at their own pace. Whether clients are struggling with sleep disturbance, resurfacing memories, active addiction, relapse, or panic attacks, I am dedicated to helping them find relief and recovery.

At Beyond Healing Center, I am committed to helping clients heal from their past and construct the future they desire. I am honored to be part of a team that is dedicated to providing transformative care to those in need.
