College can be amazing—and brutal. I remember when I was in college: papers, jobs, family stuff, breakups… and how stress can wake up old hurts. I’m Brandon Rodriguez, LCMHC (EMDR-certified), and I help students who feel stuck by trauma, panic, bad memories, or constant worry. How EMDR helps: we identify the moments your brain keeps replaying (accidents, losses, bullying, assaults, chaotic homes, medical scares). With simple bilateral techniques—like brief sets of eye movements—we help your n...

Do you notice an increase in anxiety, fear, irritability, poor concentration, self-doubt, and/or struggle to navigate a loss? Are your ways of coping ineffective or maybe adding to your struggles? Is it hard to make sense of why your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and body are responding as they do, and even more confusing as to how to make it stop? Have you sought medical and pharmaceutical support but want to address the underlying ‘why’, not just numb out the symptoms? You want connection, a ...
