Description: The differences between EMDR therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy lie in how they extract patient information, how they administer treatment, and how long they last. EMDR relies on bilateral stimulation via eye movement to “rewire” the brain, while CBT uses behavior and thought modification.

About

Still stuck in the pain of the past?

You don’t have to stay there.

Hundreds of people across Florida have already worked with me to break free from the emotional grip of trauma, anxiety, and performance blocks. You could be next.

I'm Tina Cannon, LMHC. I’m a licensed psychotherapist and certified expert in EMDR therapy, specializing in helping adults heal from trauma and reclaim their lives.

This is not talk therapy as usual.
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a science-backed therapy that rewires how your brain stores traumatic memories. It’s fast, deep, and life-changing.

Whether you’re:

* Haunted by childhood wounds or recent events
* Living with depression or anxiety that won’t let up
* Struggling to perform at work, in your relationships, or on stage

EMDR therapy can help you find relief and restore your sense of peace and wholeness.

I also work with high performers—athletes, coaches, creatives, and entrepreneurs—to eliminate the internal blocks that keep them from reaching their full potential. That’s the power of EMDR Performance Enhancement Psychology.

Ready to start now?
You can work with me from anywhere in Florida through private, secure, online video sessions.

Or take the first step on your own time with my EMDR Trauma Processing Workbook™, created to gently guide you through the early phases of healing—even before our first session.

Take the first brave step.
