Marsha Deakter is a licensed mental health therapist dedicated to helping her clients achieve their personal goals and effectively address their issues and needs. She specializes in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can stem from various sources, including military service, traumatic experiences such as rape, and significant life stressors. In today's world, with challenges like COVID-19 and visible societal violence, the incidence of PTSD has become more prevalent. Marsha employs Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as one of the most successful treatments for PTSD, which assists individuals in breaking the cycle of reliving painful stress and anxiety. With over 20 years of certification in this intervention, she was trained by Dr. Francine Shapiro, the creator of EMDR. Through her compassionate approach, Marsha helps clients improve their lives by developing effective cognitive and emotional skills while alleviating symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties. She utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and tailors her treatment plans to fit each client's unique needs. Additionally, Marsha offers virtual telepsychotherapy, providing a convenient and comfortable setting that eliminates the need for office visits and waiting rooms. Her sessions are conducted on a HIPAA-approved platform, ensuring that the conversations remain safe and secure as clients work towards becoming their best selves.
