Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
My name is Jesse Rappaport. I have an easy going style, and know that getting to know a new therapist can take some time, I try to make that easier by creating a relaxed atmosphere. One approach I use is EMDR; for treating traumatic experiences. Using EMDR for over twenty years in private practice, I am still awed by the deep transformation, and profound relief that this approach can bring. It is a privilege to witness clients unburdened of trauma becoming able to access their own internal resources, strength and healing. It is as if one's future self somehow becomes available in the present. I most often work with adults 18 +. My work is a synthesis of the following approaches: EMDR: a state of the art trauma treatment technique. Psychodynamic; the significant effect our families of origin exert in our lives. Process Work: a client-centered approach working with what's immediate and relevant for you now including body symptoms, dreams, relationships. I've been in private practice for over twenty five years and still feel the privilege and honor that it is to do this work with people in times of challenge and transformation. Often I am accompanied in my office (if acceptable to you) by my dog Albus.
