EMDR

MVGC Providing New Evidenced-
Based Treatment 

We can now offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Contact us today!

What is EMDR? EMDR is an evidence-based therapy approach for trauma, anxiety, and depression. It can also help with adjustment issues, grief and loss, and unexpected life events. EMDR can help clients find a more positive way at looking at a negative event or negative image of themselves. It does not erase memories, but rather lessens the intensity of feelings toward those negative events. The result is the client is no longer reacting to the past while going through life. EMDR can be used with adults and children.

Each of our 4 locations have therapists trained in EMDR to make this treatment modality available to all who would benefit. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact us at 1-800-569-3980.

MVGC Parent Café Program is Back!

Parent Café is developed from the Strengthening Families Framework that all families have strengths, all families need support, and protective factors provide families with what they need to ensure strength of their families. Parent Café provides parents with an opportunity to build connections with other parents, share ideas, and determine what they need for themselves and their children. Each Parent Café consists of 3 evenings and are led by trained Parent Hosts that guide parents through topics that really matter to them. There is no cost for families to participate. Parent Café is open to any parent or caregiver living in Defiance, Fulton, Henry, and Williams Counties.
