​​Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)​

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment initially developed to alleviate distress linked to traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989a, 1989b).

​​Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)​

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (RPT) is a specialized treatment aimed at addressing various types of chronic pain where there is no medical evidence of structural damage in the affected area (such as chronic back pain, headaches, neck pain, stomach pain with unclear or no diagnosis, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, etc.). Research indicates that approximately 90% of chronic back pain cases are attributed to neuroplastic pain, often with minimal evidence of structural damage. RPT focuses on rewiring the brain's interpretation of pain signals, leading to significant reduction or even elimination of chronic neuroplastic pain. Dr. Joo is a Certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) therapist.

Emotion Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping)​

EFT involves using the fingers to gently tap on the body's acupuncture points along the meridian lines of Chinese medicine.  EFT Tapping helps us tune in to the negative patterns that we form around our uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, or troubling memories. The aim is to find relief, relaxation, and promote healing around the emotional or physical issues that hold us back.

Dr. Joo is trained to utilize EFT in her therapy.​​

Cultures exert a profound influence on our psychological development, behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs. Treatment approaches that are effective for the mainstream population may not be suitable and can even be harmful to minority populations. Dr. Joo has undergone extensive training and gained clinical experience in providing culturally competent and accurate assessment, diagnosis, and therapy for underserved Asian and Pacific Islander populations.
