PTSD / Trauma

Over the years, Jeanne Vattuone has worked in a variety of settings before starting her private counseling practice in PTSD, trauma, sex addiction and abuse.  She worked in intensive residential treatment programs for teens, Child Protective Services, foster care, and school settings.  Continuing in private practice, Jeanne Vattuone works with teen and adult trauma survivors who have experienced sexual and physical abuse, combat stress, domestic violence, and natural disasters.

Jeanne is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and often uses this intervention tool with traumatized clients. EMDR is a therapeutic treatment used to lessen distress caused by traumatic incidents or memories.  EMDR has also been used to treat feelings of powerlessness, anxiety, or other less traumatic experiences. Lastly, EMDR can also be used with Relational Trauma, distress caused by relationship betrayal or great emotional pain.
