Advanced Trauma Treatment from a Medical Perspective
Understanding Meditation & EMDR Therapy
Tresna Psychiatry offers trauma-informed care that combines advanced psychiatric expertise with EMDR to support both the psychological and neurobiological aspects of healing.
How EMDR Supports Trauma Recovery
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a research-backed psychotherapy method that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and structured way. EMDR activates the brain’s natural healing mechanisms and supports lasting relief from distressing emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations linked to trauma.
Our Philosophy
At Tresna Psychiatry, we treat addiction as a medical condition that requires a personalized and evidence-based approach. Our philosophy combines Medication-Assisted Treatment using FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine and naltrexone with therapy methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention. With expertise in psychopharmacology and co-occurring disorders, our team provides safe, effective care tailored to each individual. We also recognize the importance of family support and offer resources to help loved ones heal alongside the recovery process.

Your mental health deserves personalized care and attentive follow-up. We’re here to ensure you receive exactly that.
The Science Behind EMDR
Trauma can disrupt how the brain stores and integrates memories. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to support neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to reprocess stuck or overwhelming experiences. At Tresna, we understand how trauma affects brain function and tailor each EMDR treatment to support healing at both the psychological and neurological levels.
