Patti Chagolla, MSW, LSW, EMDR

Patti is an EMDR Therapist who specializes in treating individuals with trauma-related issues, anxiety, depression, addiction and challenges with self-regulation and self-development. Her work is grounded in EMDR and often leads into somatic processing, or helping clients connect with the body’s role in healing. She also integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support deeper emotional understanding and internal balance.

Patti draws from somatic and mindfulness-based techniques with a person-centered approach, incorporating elements of CBT and DBT. She is committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where clients can work through challenges and move toward the quality of life they truly deserve.
