Remote EMDR Therapy for Georgia, Metro Atlanta to the Coast

Evidence-based trauma care delivered to wherever you are in Georgia.

Past the perimeter, the map gets thin

Most of Georgia's mental health capacity sits inside metro Atlanta, with smaller concentrations around Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Athens. A large share of the state's counties have very few practicing psychologists, and fewer still with EMDR training. For clients in South Georgia or the Blue Ridge foothills, specialized trauma care has often meant a drive of an hour or more each way.

Video sessions remove that trip. Georgia runs on Eastern time, one hour ahead of Dr. Brooks in Bismarck, so his afternoon openings arrive in your late afternoon and early evening, which is easier to protect than a midday appointment if you are working.

Dr. Brooks treats Georgia residents through PSYPACT, the interstate compact for psychological practice, and works primarily in EMDR: a structured protocol built for post-traumatic stress and now used widely for anxiety, phobias and craving control.

The PTSD cure! I have been to many therapists and psychologists, but none as skilled and effective as Dr. Brooks. This is a very straight forward, simple therapy, and I am very impressed at how fast I felt the results. 100% recommend for anyone who is suffering!

Chris Padron
Dr. Brooks and EMDR greatly improved my mental health. It was refreshing to treat the issue without months and months of talk therapy. I would highly recommend Dr. Brooks’ approach to treating PTSD and anxieties.

Dr. Brooks has been very helpful in working through a lot of things in my past. Basically, PTSD symptoms went away or were greatly lessened like nightmares, awful sleep, and "triggers". I highly recommend anyone struggling with stuff like this to see Dr. Brooks at Dakota Trauma Therapy.

The results I got from EDMR and Dr. Brooks far exceeded what I thought possible. If you have PTSD or past emotional trauma than I highly recommend you try Dakota Trauma Therapy and Dr. Brooks, I suffered needlessly for far too long when real help was a call away.

EMDR therapy helped me a lot. May seem simple, I was skeptical at first, but it really works.

Cat Sillitti
When I started therapy, I thought there was no way this treatment would be helpful. After 6 appointments, I can’t think of any trauma that needs to be treated. Thank you, Dr. Brooks. You were amazing.

Mary Nieuwsma
Dr. Brooks has been treating me for PTSD for years. His EMDR Therapy has allowed this veteran to once again sleep through the night and avoid daytime panic attacks. I highly recommend him.
