Brian Powell
About
I specialize in working with individuals who have tried talk therapy but haven’t yet found the freedom they desire. Through EMDR – a cutting-edge treatment that I honed in my Msw training at The Trauma Institute in Massachusetts – I can help you process and release the emotional weight of past experiences, allowing you to move forward with renewed hope, energy, and resilience.
Biography
I see clients in person in my beautiful home in Ottawa and online! I have a long background in child protection social work, psychotherapy, counseling, addictions, and family support. I've spent the last six years bringing my formidable experience and training to focus on trauma and PTSD using EMDR. My average client seems me for 4-9 hours, and some folks do full or multiple-day intensives depending on their trauma history. EMDR is very relaxing, calming, and clarifying. Trauma will leave us with big triggers in our bodies and reactions to people/places/things. EMDR will relieve that and shift your negative narrative of "I don't belong", "I'm not good enough", "I don't matter" to "It's over, I'm safe now", "I'm lovable and worth knowing", and "I'm really OK just as I am"
