Briana Messerschmidt, LMFT, EMDR-IA, believes that clients are the experts of themselves, and she works with each client to individuate a treatment style that fits them best. She specializes in working with survivors of high-control groups, using a feminist, humanistic-existential, and trauma-informed EMDR approach. She is a flexible therapist and makes it a priority to meet clients where they are in every session. When clients are ready, she draws on many years of experience and training in EMDR therapy to help them truly put the past in the past, so they can live authentically and on their own terms. Briana has her own lived experience with high-control religion and continues her journey of redefining her life every day.
