Introduction: A Safe Place to Heal

Did you know that over 19% of adults in the U.S. struggle with mental health issues annually? Even more staggering—less than half of them receive the help they need. This gap is often due to stigma, lack of access, or difficulty finding a culturally responsive therapist. That’s where New Horizons Counseling & Therapy, led by Shaquil Jones, LMFT, steps in.

Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem, Shaquil—affectionately known as "Shaq"—offers compassionate, culturally-informed therapy for individuals, children, and families. Using proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Shaq supports clients on their path to emotional healing and growth.

If you’re ready to take the first step, now is the time to book EMDR therapy session online and begin your transformation.

Why Mental Health Support Matters

Mental health is more than just the absence of illness—it's about emotional, psychological, and social well-being. When we don’t feel mentally strong, every part of life can suffer, including:

Relationships
Job performance
Physical health
Overall quality of life

Therapy offers a safe, judgment-free space to explore emotions, process pain, and build the tools needed for resilience. That’s especially true when your therapist deeply understands your background and unique challenges.

What is EMDR Therapy and How Does It Work?

Understanding EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) to help reprocess painful memories and reduce emotional charge.

EMDR is especially effective for:

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Childhood trauma
Anxiety and panic attacks
Low self-esteem
Performance anxiety

If you're curious about how this can help you, it's easy to book EMDR therapy session online and explore your options with Shaq.

EMDR vs. Traditional Therapy

Traditional Talk Therapy	EMDR Therapy
Focuses on talking and analyzing	Focuses on memory reprocessing
Longer timeline for trauma recovery	Often faster results
Useful for general mental health	Ideal for trauma, PTSD, and phobias

When you're ready for lasting emotional change, book EMDR therapy session online and experience the difference.

Culturally-Informed Therapy: Why Representation Matters

Many people hesitate to seek therapy because they feel their therapist may not understand their lived experiences. Cultural sensitivity is not just a buzzword—it’s essential for effective healing.

Shaquil Jones integrates cultural awareness in every session by:

Acknowledging and validating identity and background
Being trauma-informed about racial and intergenerational trauma
Creating an inclusive space that fosters trust and authenticity

When culture meets compassion, healing happens faster. To see this in action, you can book EMDR therapy session online with New Horizons Counseling & Therapy.
