About Laureen DiMattia
Providing online therapy services to Washington DC, Maryland,
New York and Pennsylvania.
Let me help you get to know me better!
My clinical journey began during my studies at Pennsylvania State University (We Are!) in Psychology and Sociology. From there, I earned my Masters of Social Work from Marywood University and soon after founded my own outpatient therapy practice, Seasons of Strength.
As a therapist and Licensed Social Worker trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), my mission is to provide you with excellent therapeutic care as you reach your healing and nervous system goals. My specialization and focus of my work is using EMDR therapy. EMDR is an approach that addresses the physiological storage of memory and how it forms experiences. Change occurs when the links to those memories are transformed. I integrate EMDR therapy into many aspects of my work to help people address painful, unhelpful memories that hold them back from a life worth living.
In EMDR, you will feel different, as opposed to talk therapy which only allows us access to the prefrontal cortex an dto redirect thoughts. In EMDR, I am able to access your amygdala and hindbrain to access where stored pain is held on the neuropathways. You no longer need to sit and talk and talk for hours to heal. At Seasons of Strength, you can release all truams and live a life that feels fulfilling.
I’ve helped people from all over the state overcome emotional difficulties and life challenges, such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety and stress
- Abuse
- Divorce, separation, or breakup
- Trauma and PTSD
- Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, etc.)
- Relationship problems
- Hopelessness and helplessness
- Loneliness and isolation
- And much more
No matter how difficult things might seem, no matter how long you’ve struggled, I can help. I founded Seasons of Strength to provide compassionate, effective, evidence-based trauma focused therapy for adults from Washington DC, New York, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. As an independent private practice clinician, I offer an individually tailored therapy experience designed to help you or your loved one reach your goals and achieve true healing.
