CAROL DALLINGA, LCSW, CGP, EMDR

I help adults tame their chronic pain, uncover the meaning of the pain and learn self care.

Chronic/acute pain tells us something is wrong physically. When pain persists it zaps our energy level, increases negative thoughts, distracts us from daily life work/play, changes our biochemistry and thereby pain can be 'stuck' in the nervous system.

With compassion and warmth, I help adults who are experiencing physical or emotional pain in their lives by working together to examine the root cause, find release and realize healing using all the skills I have learned over 30 years of practice.

I have a Certification in Trauma Therapy with (EMDRIA) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Association. I have a Certification in Group Psychotherapy with (AGPA) the American Group Psychotherapy Association.

Together we address the stress/trauma that might be heightening your pain through the use of EMDR, guided imagery, relaxation techniques to reduce the negative thoughts, feelings, and sensations you are living with. You CAN unlearn painful patterns, regulate negative emotions, develop coping skills and learn self care in individual or group therapy.

Carol not only has an amazing practical knowledge of how to start and grow private practice but also has great empathy for her clients and great intuition on how to support them. Thanks to Carol I now have a successful private practice in Manhattan and have a waiting list as I cannot see all the patients who want to see me.

implement a business plan which resulted in a successful private practice.
