Mental Health & Wellness Assessments for First Responders
At EMDR Transformations Counseling (ETC), we specialize in supporting the mental health and well-being of first responders across Arizona. Collaborating with organizations such as Public Safety Crisis Solutions, the Compassion Alliance, Gilbert Fire & Rescue, and other departments across the state, we are dedicated to being “the mental health first responders for first responders.”
Our Expertise
Our highly skilled team specializes in trauma therapy for first responders, veterans, individuals, couples, families, and children, with EMDR therapy at the core of our approach. Each therapist is not only trained in first responder culture but also brings extensive experience in trauma-focused care. This specialized expertise enables us to effectively address the unique challenges first responders face, including trauma exposure, demanding job conditions, and the stress of balancing work and personal life.
