Therapy FAQ | EMDR, Trauma & Anxiety Therapy in Los Angeles

  • There’s no single approach that works for everyone, but trauma therapy often focuses on helping clients process unresolved experiences, regulate the nervous system, and better understand the emotional patterns connected to those experiences.

    At Brick by Brick, therapy is trauma-informed, relational, and depth-oriented, integrating EMDR therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotional regulation support.

  • EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy approach designed to help the brain process experiences that still feel emotionally overwhelming or “stuck.”

    Many people seek EMDR therapy for:

    • trauma and PTSD

    • anxiety and panic

    • relationship wounds

    • burnout and chronic stress

    • emotionally reactive patterns

    The goal is not to erase memories, but to help them feel less consuming in everyday life.

  • High-functioning anxiety doesn’t always look obvious from the outside.

    Many people experiencing it are still working, showing up for others, staying productive, and handling responsibilities- while internally feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, constantly “on,” or unable to fully relax.

    Therapy can help you better understand the patterns underneath the pressure, overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional burnout that often come with high-functioning anxiety.

  • Emotional exhaustion can come from chronic stress, anxiety, over-functioning, people-pleasing, unresolved trauma, burnout, relationship strain, or constantly feeling responsible for everyone around you.

    Many people are carrying far more internally than others realize.

    Therapy creates space to better understand what’s contributing to that exhaustion while building healthier ways of coping, regulating, and moving through life.
