EMDR Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma & Fear in Washington

For adults who understand their patterns but are ready for deeper change.

You may understand why you feel anxious, why you overthink, or where your patterns come from—but still find yourself reacting in ways you wish you could change. EMDR offers a different approach to help you process what's keeping you stuck.

You Know Something Needs to Change

Maybe you look like you have it all together on the outside, but internally you feel: 

  • Constantly anxious or on edge
  • Caught in cycles of overthinking
  • Controlled by a fear or a phobia
  • Driven by perfectionism or self-criticism
  • Unable to fully relax, even when things are going well
  • Stuck in patterns you understand but can't seem to change
  • Affected by past experiences that still feel emotionally present
  • Frustrated that you've done the work but don't feel much different

You may understand your patterns intellectually, but that doesn't always mean you know how to change them. 

You Don't Need More Insight. You May Need a Different Approach.

Talk therapy can help you identify and understand your experiences and recognize patterns.

But what happens when you already understand yourself and still find yourself reacting in the same ways?

EMDR offers a different approach.

EMDR goes beyond insight alone, helping you process distressing memories, emotions, beliefs, and body responses that may continue to influence how you feel in the present.

The goal isn't to erase your past.

It's to help your past have less control over your present.

How EMDR Therapy Can Help

EMDR isn't only for processing major traumatic events. It can also help address the experiences underlying anxiety, fear, perfectionism, and patterns that continue to affect your life.

Anxiety & Overthinking

When your mind is constantly scanning for what could go wrong, it can be difficult to feel present or at ease.

EMDR can help address the experiences and beliefs that may be contributing to persistent anxiety and worry.

Fear & Phobias

Sometimes you know logically that you're safe, but your body reacts as though you're in danger.

EMDR can help you work through specific fears, phobias, and experiences that continue to trigger a strong fear response.

Perfectionism & Self-Criticism

You may have learned that being successful, useful, productive, or “good enough” requires constantly pushing yourself.

Together, we can explore what is underneath those patterns and work toward a more grounded relationship with yourself.

Patterns That Keep Repeating

You may recognize the same patterns in your relationships, work, decisions, or emotional responses—even when you consciously want something different.

EMDR can help you process the experiences that may be keeping those patterns in place.

Past. Present. Future.

EMDR isn't only about what happened in the past.

Past

Process experiences that still feel emotionally unresolved or continue to shape the way you see yourself and the world.

Present

Reduce the intensity of triggers, fears, reactions, and patterns that interfere with the life you want to live.

Future

Build confidence and prepare for situations that currently bring up anxiety, fear, or self-doubt.

The goal isn't simply to understand what happened to you.

It's to help you feel more grounded in your present and more confident about your future.

EMDR may be a good fit if:

  • You are curious about why you respond the way you do.
  • You've gained insight but still feel stuck.
  • You're ready to look beneath the surface of your symptoms.
  • You're willing to notice emotions and sensations in your body.
  • You want to participate in your healing actively.
  • You're tired of managing the same patterns over and over.
  • You want meaningful change—not simply another place to talk about your problems.

You don't have to know exactly what needs to change before you begin.

You just need to be open to exploring what might be underneath it.

Meet Angela

I'm Angela Fruhner, an EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ and Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist. My background in clinical health psychology, nutrition, trauma therapy, and EMDR allows me to take an integrative approach that considers the connection between your experiences, emotions, thoughts, and body.

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you understand what's happening, make sense of the patterns you're experiencing, and create the conditions for meaningful change.

I don't believe therapy should be about endlessly analyzing what's wrong with you.

It's about helping you understand yourself with compassion—and giving you the opportunity to experience something different.
