Welcome Inga Wismer Counseling

Dec 09, 2024 09:29AM ● By Jerome Bilaos

Trauma takes us out of our window of tolerance where we function optimally and either leads to a fight or flight response or dissociative numbness. It can also lead to a repetition compulsion when we repeat various aspects of the original trauma.

Inga Wismer, LPC, MA, has a great understanding of trauma. “Trauma is a part of life, but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Empathy, support, unconditional positive regard and being understood by someone without judgment can bring positive change and healing,” shares Wismer.

Wismer’s primary focus is treating trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults. “If you struggle with PTSD, you may feel shame, guilt and hopelessness about the situation, but you don’t have to do it alone,” shares Wismer. To help her clients heal, she draws from a collection of therapies, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

“EMDR gives access to memories and images of the past and helps observe experience in a new way so people can heal from trauma even if they don’t remember some aspects of it,” states Wismer. “After doing EMDR, the traumatic memory feels like a story that happened a long time ago.”

Additional therapies include dialectical behavior therapy, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based therapy. Wismer also treats attachment disorders in children such as reactive attachment disorder and  oppositional defiant disorder.

Inga Wismer Counseling is conveniently located in Frenchtown. She also sees clients via telehealth. Contact her today to start your journey to healing.

Location: 116 Fitzer Rd, Frenchtown. In person and telehealth options. For information call 908-268-2543 and email [email protected]. See directory listing on page 38.
