DR RHINA LOVO * EMDR Integrative Psychotherapy

WHO I AM I’m Dr. Rhina Lovo, a licensed psychologist, Certified EMDR Therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant™ with more than 25 years of clinical experience. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, grief, relational trauma, performance psychology... working with youth and adults seeking deeper, psychotherapy that goes beyond symptom management. WHAT IS EMDR INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY? My work is EMDR-centered, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and integrative. EMDR provides the primary framework, while treatment may also incorporate somatic, relational, parts-informed, expressive arts, and other trauma-focused approaches depending on your history, needs, readiness, and goals. The aim is not simply to understand what happened, but to address how unresolved experiences may still be affecting your emotions, relationships, body, beliefs, and present-day responses. IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT FOR ME? This approach may be especially helpful for adults who are: * Living with the effects of trauma or PTSD * Carrying childhood, attachment, or relational wounds * Experiencing anxiety, fear, or hypervigilance * Navigating grief, loss, or major life transitions * Recovering from medical trauma or overwhelming experiences * Feeling stuck despite insight or previous therapy * Functioning well externally while struggling internally * Seeking more than symptom management * Wanting to understand and change patterns at a deeper level * Experiencing performance blocks, self-doubt, or anxiety under pressure MORE THAN SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT Sometimes talking and insight are not enough. You may understand your patterns and still feel caught in them. Trauma-focused therapy can help address what remains unresolved, shift deeply rooted responses, and create greater freedom in how you feel, relate, and respond. FROM DISTRESS TO PSYCHOLOGICAL FLOURISHING EMDR is not about forgetting the past. It is about helping the past feel like the past. As unresolved experiences are processed, there is often more room for presence, flexibility, connection, and choice—with meaningful change in emotional well-being, relationships, functioning, and quality of life. EMDR PERFORMANCE PROTOCOL For executives, athletes, musicians, artists, and professionals who want to perform more consistently under pressure. EMDR-informed performance work can address performance anxiety, fear of failure, past high-pressure experiences, and emotional blocks that interfere with accessing your skills. PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS I provide psychotherapy for psychologists, therapists, counselors, and other mental health professionals seeking support for healing, resilience, and personal growth. Clinical work can be deeply meaningful and emotionally demanding. This offers a confidential space to step out of the professional role, reconnect with yourself, and receive the same care you so often provide to others. EMDR CONSULTATION FOR CLINICIANS I provide EMDR consultation for trained clinicians who want to deepen case conceptualization, strengthen treatment planning, navigate complex trauma cases, integrate EMDR more effectively into their practice, and build greater clinical confidence. Consultation may also support clinicians working toward EMDRIA certification.
