      <image:title>Blog - EMDR Intensives for Anxiety in NYC and Boston - Hi, I’m Deanna!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I enjoy supporting millennials who look like they have it all together but feel anxious or overwhelmed underneath it all. I get how easy it is to keep pushing through while your mind is always on and your body never fully relaxes. My approach focuses on helping you get to the root of your anxiety, not just manage it. I use EMDR intensives, along with Brainspotting and parts work, to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and support your nervous system in actually feeling calmer. I offer virtual EMDR intensives for adults in New York and Massachusetts. These longer sessions give you the space to go deeper, so you can start to feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again.</image:caption>
