Emerald Heart Counseling
Hi there! I'm Jessica Veroline, LICSW.
I'm a licensed independent clinical social worker. I help individuals in Wakefield/South Kingstown, Rhode Island and virtually in Rhode Island and Massachusetts who experience anxiety and fear about pregnancy and childbirth, including tokophobia as well as individuals navigating birth trauma. Additionally, I provide EMDR therapeutic support for individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and depression while continuing to work with their primary therapist.
The therapeutic approaches I use include:
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy
- Equine-Assisted EMDR therapy
- Supportive therapy
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process distressing or traumatic memories so they feel less emotionally charged.
