Catherine Alvarado Therapy + EMDR provides EMDR therapy for children, adolescents, and adults in Redondo Beach and statewide via secure online sessions. Led by Catherine Alvarado, LMFT and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, we use trauma-informed psychotherapy, somatic/mind-body techniques, and evidence-based interventions to treat PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, panic, phobias, and chronic stress.

Intensive EMDR offers extended session lengths for clients in Redondo Beach who need more time to process a specific concern, memory, or treatment goal. These longer sessions support deeper processing, reduce the need to pause mid‑protocol, and promote fuller integration of cognitive and somatic shifts.

Adjunct EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) refers to the use of EMDR techniques alongside other therapeutic interventions to accelerate trauma processing, reduce symptoms, and enhance overall treatment outcomes.
