Vedabrata (Ved) Basu, LPC, EMDR Certified Therapist, Trained in EMDR Therapy for Chronic Pain Management

I transitioned to the field of Mental Health Counseling because I wanted to be in a healing profession.

I completed my M.S. Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. 

I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy; I also am trained in EMDR Therapy for Chronic Pain Management.

I work with clients with issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (which also often involves dissociation to varying extents), bereavement, depression, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and behavioral issues. I also earlier worked with clients with acute psychiatric symptoms requiring psychiatric hospitalization, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

I tend to be client-centered in my approach. I work with the underlying philosophy that a client has the potential, within himself or herself, to proceed in the direction that leads to his or her intended counselling goal/s. The therapist plays both a supportive and a collaborative role in the client’s journey by providing validation, empathy, positive regard, and appropriate counseling interventions, which can help the client to access his or her self-energy and to move forward in the direction of accomplishing his or her therapeutic goals.

I use EMDR Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Therapy. However, I also believe that each client is unique and has a unique set of needs. Therefore, techniques from different counseling modalities can be combined and integrated to an appropriate set of counseling interventions that can provide optimum client benefits.
