“I’ve built a life that others dream about — BUT... ”
According to the outside world you "have it all".
You have the job, the relationship, the house, but little do they know what is going on in your head and in your body. You are anxious, stressed and overwhelmed.
You walk around internally saying "I shouldn't think that" but you are angry, hurt, and sad.
Your loved ones have some idea about what you're going through, but even they don't know it all.
You don't want to worry them, you think you can take care of it.
​
You have managed to survive the day to day stresses of life, but life is becoming more and more overwhelming for you. The planners, journaling and usual coping mechanisms don't seem to do it.
You've become a mother and suddenly something about motherhood cracks you wide open.
Past events, trauma and hurts from the past come flooding back into your life.
You thought that you had put the past behind you.
You thought that the past didn't affect you or didn't hurt you anymore, but you were wrong.
​
You are looking to find healing because you want to be a better mom and a happier person.
​
​You have tried to figure things out on your own, but you struggle.
You know that you need help but you don't really want to admit it.
You hear the negative voices in your head, your own voice, the voice of a parent, a loved one, a boss, telling you that you're no good, telling you you can't do this or to stop whining and be grateful.
You have gotten to your success through hard work, consistency and doing the work.
But you are burnt out.
You no longer have the bandwidth.
You're tired of everything feeling so hard and out of alignment.
You're finding yourself getting more and more resentful, and none of your previous coping skills are working. You want more ease, but you don't know how to get it.
​
You are anxious, sometimes sad or blue, dealing with past childhood memories or traumas and overwhelmed by current life responsibilities.
​​
You have read all of the self-help books, and done the work in but you're still feeling stuck. ​​​
You have no one to talk to because you are ashamed or feeling guilty about your thoughts and feelings
You are tired of living in the past, being held back in the present and worrying about the future.
​
I can help because I've been where you are right now.

Premium EMDR Therapy and EMDR Intensives for Busy Moms in Perimenopause Dealing with Trauma, Stress and Anxiety
Hi and Welcome! I'm Edwige Theokas but (everyone calls me Eddie).
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist in Bordentown, NJ.
I've been in practice since 2002, and for the past several years I have focused exclusively on women navigating the intersection of motherhood, midlife, and the trauma and anxiety that surfaces when you finally slow down enough to feel it.
I had my son at 41 and my daughter at 45. I am 48, in perimenopause, raising two very young children, caring for aging relatives, running a private practice, and doing the work - the same work I ask my clients to do. I am not speaking to your experience from a distance. I am in it alongside you.
Using EMDR, somatic work, parts work, nervous system regulation, and guided meditation, we do not just talk about what is happening , we work to change it at the level where it lives, in your body, your nervous system, and the stories you have been carrying since long before you became a mother.
This is not therapy that asks you to just be more patient or more grateful or more mindful. This is therapy that helps you understand why everything feels so hard (and gives you a real way through it).
This isn’t just talk therapy. This is transformational work that honors the life you’ve built, but opens the door to a version of you who’s ready for more.

EMDR Therapy
​
Weekly or bi-weekly in-person or online sessions using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process the trauma, anxiety, and burnout that has accumulated under the weight of motherhood and midlife. Available in-person or online to anyone residing in New Jersey.
​
EMDR Intensives
Concentrated, multi-hour EMDR sessions designed for mothers who want real progress without waiting months for it - or who simply cannot carve out a reliable weekly appointment around school pickups, childcare, and everything else on their plates.
EMDR Intensives compress months of trauma processing into focused, immersive sessions. Ideal for processing specific traumas, major life transitions, the emotional upheaval of perimenopause, or the accumulated weight of years of putting everyone else first.

You’re here because you’re tired of being tired.​
​
You have gotten very good at managing it all until now. At getting through the day, keeping everyone else okay, and saving your falling apart for after they go to bed.
​
But managing is not the same as healing. You deserve to actually feel good, enjoy your life, and thrive.
​ ​
You’re done with pretending that everything is ok, when it's not.
You're done feeling like you need to white knuckle it through life
.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation call. Just a conversation about what is going on and whether working together makes sense.
​
Your kids don't need a perfect mother. They need a mother who creates a better world for herself and them
