Group to help people re-build their lives and has held seminars with
"Every Man's Battle" for wives on sexual addiction. She is trained
in Ericksonian Hypnosis (adapted to a Christian world-view) and EMDR
and uses these advanced modalities to treat Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder.
EMDR can shorten the time a person needs
to be in therapy and heal traumas previous "talk therapy" has not
been able to resolve by getting at the core issue or issues that
keep a person "stuck." Dr. Browne had trained in all major treatment models but
her primary orientation is Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
and Family Systems Therapy using a Biblically-based perspective. She
combines scripture with research-based psychological approaches to
help individuals develop perspective, hope, and a step-by-step Plan
of Action to correct destructive patterns of thinking and behavior.
