Michelle GrennanPsychologist, PhD

About

My specialty is trauma, with the understanding that trauma is often not just one major event, but also the cumulative effect of both severe and more subtle traumas over a lifetime, ranging from emotional deprivation, bullying, verbal abuse to rejections and perceived failures. Since I believe that trauma contributes to most issues, I work with a broad range of patients, including those struggling with interpersonal problems, having difficulty reaching personal and professional goals, or lacking confidence and positive self-image. I also work with patients experiencing mental illness, ranging from depression to psychotic disorders. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, and I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). EMDR allows for healing through the resolution of traumatic memories in the brain. I work with my patients to tailor treatment to their specific needs.
