Christina Eller, LMHC, LPC

Have you ever felt trapped by your own physical and emotional states? Do you feel panicky without the awareness of how to calm down or depressed and unmotivated without the ability to accomplish simple tasks? Wouldn't it be magical if you had alternative ways to respond to your environment without getting stuck in the habits of the past? The integration of somatic psychology synthesized with EMDR + modalities such as CBT, the Gottman Method, and Solution Focused Therapy does that without the mystery. How you ask? Neuroplasticity. Its our brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural pathways and behaviors, thus enhancing the effectiveness of treating trauma, and reducing anxiety and depression. Become versed in how to gain relief from persistent negative thoughts, practice refining a new internal monologue that reduces automaticity + understand how to repair past hurts. For individuals and couples alike, learn how to lift your mental resistance to develop your authentic selves by enhancing your sense of choice and empowerment. Imagine maximizing your personal growth for the Best You. It can look like being present in your own body, voicing your needs, opinions and boundaries, as well developing a sense of safety. Let's work together to identify the impact of your trauma(s), increase frustration tolerance, embrace becoming vulnerable, incorporate a self-care routine, reduce dysregulated moods + gain insight into childhood, and how to healthily connect to emotions as an adult. Through evidenced based research methodologies, we counsel and educate clients to be their Best You at any stage in life, a true act of self-love and acceptance. ---------------------------------------------------------- Christina Eller is a licensed psychotherapist in NY & NJ.
