Trauma and PTSD can affect every part of daily life, from sleep and focus to relationships and self-worth. EMDR therapy, a clinically proven treatment, helps individuals process and move past traumatic experiences at a pace that feels right for them. EMDR is also highly effective for anxiety, phobias, and OCD. Learn more about EMDR therapy.
Relationship challenges are not a sign that something is broken beyond repair. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples and individuals identify unhealthy patterns, rebuild trust, and create stronger emotional connections. Learn more about Couples therapy.

Every relationship goes through difficult periods. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Pantea works with couples and individuals to understand the patterns driving disconnection, rebuild emotional safety, and develop healthier ways of relating to each other.
What We Focus On:

If past experiences are affecting your daily life, EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based treatment that helps reduce the emotional distress tied to those memories. It works directly on how the brain stores and processes traumatic experiences.
What EMDR Can Help With:
Practical perspectives from Pantea Rafati on EMDR therapy, couples counselling, and emotional well-being.
Your first session is a chance for Pantea to understand what brought you in, what you are hoping to work on, and what approach makes the most sense for you. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with. The goal is simply to get a clear picture of where you are and where you want to go.
This varies from person to person depending on the nature and history of what you are working through. Some clients see meaningful progress in 8 to 12 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term work. Pantea will discuss a realistic timeframe with you once she has a clearer sense of your situation.
