My name is Brian Robertson, but most people just call me Rob. I am an EMDR therapist specializing in treating complex trauma, dissociative disorders, and borderline personality disorder. To best treat those with whom I work with, I am only taking new cases that have complex trauma. I also have experience in treating victims of sex trafficking, military combat trauma, and victims of ritual abuse and programming (cults). I am also a member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, as well as a member of the ISSTD Special Interest Group for the Treatment of Organized and Extreme Abuse.

Using neurobiology, I like to use a scientific evidence-based, but also holistic and person-centered approach. Some of the therapeutic modalities I use are eye-movement desensitization reprocessing therapy (EMDR), ego state therapy, hypnosis, internal family systems (IFS), somatic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive processing therapy.

I like to work with my patients as part of a team and I value being part of the journey in seeing them become the person that they want to be. Through the strength of empowerment, we can work together to help you become the person that you want to be.
