EMDR Therapy
Craig Holm MACP | RCC
As an EMDR Certified Therapist, I specialize in EMDR therapy combined with complimentary modalities such as Ego State/Parts work, mindfulness and somatic approaches. I haven’t found a more thorough, lasting or rapid approach to healing.
EMDR THERAPY CAN HELP YOU WITH:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression
- PTSD, trauma and stress-related issues
- Complex developmental trauma (CPTSD)
- Violence, abuse and sexual assault
- Low self-esteem and self-sabotage
- Phobias
- Grief and loss
- Performance anxiety
- Medical traumas, pain and chronic illness
- Sleep disturbances
- Compulsive behaviours
- Dissociative disorders

I started my journey as a counsellor in 2012 after two decades in marketing and branding as a copywriter and brand strategist. Changed through a handful of silent Vipassana retreats, I decided to pursue a path that better aligned with my values, my beliefs and my purpose.
In 2016, got my first taste of EMDR in basic training. After many trainings and much positive client feedback, I now focus exclusively on EMDR and complimentary modalities to best serve my clients.
When I’m not counselling, I love to get into the outdoors: Mountain biking (trying to keep the rubber side down) with my son, backpacking and plans to start section hiking. I enjoy music and all things audio, gym time, and attempting to understand the nature of humanity and the matterium in which we find ourselves.
I’m kind yet direct. Compassionate yet focused. I foster safety first and will challenge when needed. I’m here to help you find the quickest path to mental health goals.
