Now Offering
EMDR Therapy

Behavioral health staff offer behavioral health services at NCFHC’s main campus in Watertown and at its Health and Wellness Center on the campus of Jefferson Community College. Additionally, therapists are on hand at the School-Based Health Centers to help students and their families through a variety of situations. A therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing or EMDR has been introduced to Health Center patients. EMDR is an effective psychotherapy treatment for numerous behavioral health issues including, but not limited to, PTSD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and substance use disorders. EMDR therapy is a proven method to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences. It works on healing and resolving individual’s core issues instead of teaching them to cope with them.

EMDR Clinicians that are fully trained have completed 40 hours of lecture and 10 hours of consultation regarding cases; and Certified Clinicians have completed training in addition to 50 more hours of client contact and 20 additional hours of consultation with an EMDR approved Consultant. In 2023 the Health Center added two trained EMDR clinicians, Samantha Bryan, LMSW and Britnee Landerman, LMSW.
