Professional statement

Dr. Abrah Sprung is a highly sought-after clinical psychologist with over two decades of expertise in the field. She specializes in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma therapy. Dr. Sprung is among a limited number of clinicians in the world practicing EMDR who have met the rigorous advanced training and expertise standards required to earn the designation of a Certified EMDR Therapist. She also provides consultation for other EMDR clinicians seeking to advance their skills.

Dr. Sprung works well with clients from many different backgrounds and with many different experiences, including those with anxiety, panic, birth and perinatal trauma, illness, a life-threatening diagnosis, a difficult childhood, grief, loss, and more. Clients who may also find her to be a good fit for themselves are those who are creative types, professionals, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA, therapists, and more.

Dr. Sprung works closely with clients to craft a therapy plan that speaks to their unique story. To this end, she offers both stand-alone EMDR treatment and EMDR blended with other modalities, such as Brainspotting, for a more gentle, direct approach to feelings that may be blocked, an Internal Family Systems-informed approach for those who've had a difficult childhood or could benefit from integrating parts of themselves, and Somatic Therapy, to address nervous system dysregulation and improve the mind-body connection. Dr. Sprung also has extensive advanced training in customizing EMDR to address particular circumstances and issues that are part of the picture such as recent events, complex traumas, and targeting of specific symptoms such as anxiety or panic.

For those interested in accelerating treatment, or for whom a weekly or bi-weekly appointment isn't feasible, Dr. Sprung offers EMDR Intensives. EMDR Intensives combine several hours of therapy together, from several hours to a full day at a time, over one or more days.


Message to clients

People come to see me from all types of backgrounds, with all kinds of histories of what's happened to them, ranging anywhere from their distant past as children to having occurred only recently. Whatever's happened, it's been holding them back and making them feel less than their best selves. Sometimes, far less. Many describe a tremendous will and ability to appear strong, steady, capable, and successful, and to seem as if they've "gotten over it," while, secretly, the struggle and suffering go on beneath the surface. Coming to work with me is often not the first or even second or third thing people have tried to help themselves, only to find nothing's brought about long-term change.

I'm here to tell you there is hope and there is help. I know this from both sides of the story - both as a specialist in healing those who've had something terribly challenging happen, and as a fellow traveller on the journey. As a survivor of trauma myself, I know firsthand what it's like to have something overwhelming and horrible impact your world. And, also, that an innate ability to emotionally heal in a deep and lasting way exists within all of us, and can be accessed with the right help and guidance.

If you feel my style and expertise sound like a good match for you and your needs, I encourage you to reach out to get started with me on your way to healing, peace, and strength.
