Complex PTSD develops from prolonged, repeated trauma, often occurring in childhood or in situations where escape is difficult (like domestic abuse). Unlike single-incident PTSD, complex PTSD includes additional symptoms like difficulty regulating emotions, negative self-perception, and challenges in relationships. Dr. Jun specializes in treating these nuanced presentations.

Your first session is a 45-minute intake where Dr. Jun gets to know you, your history, and your goals for therapy. This is a collaborative conversation—not an interrogation. You share only what you're comfortable sharing. Dr. Jun will explain her approach and together you'll start to create a treatment plan that feels right for you.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements) while you focus on traumatic memories. This helps your brain process and integrate these memories naturally, reducing their emotional charge. Many clients experience significant relief in fewer sessions compared to traditional talk therapy.

EMDR intensives are extended sessions (3 hours per day over 1-3 days) that allow for deeper, more concentrated trauma processing. They're ideal for people who want faster results, find weekly therapy exhausting, or have stable day-to-day functioning and want to supplement their current therapy with focused trauma work.
