Leah Wilson Walker, Ph.D.
(formerly McDill)

I enjoy working with individual clients via EMDR &/or traditional talk therapy to address boundaries, negotiation of power in relationships, conflicts in intimacy and/or spirituality, shame, grief & loss, and those adjusting to a diagnosis of a chronic medical issue (as I am a Type-I diabetic and a 2x cancer survivor).

I invite clients to consider how past relationships influence current relational patterns and how these often influence current mood regulation (anxiety and depression). I pursue this by offering EMDR therapy and helping my client a) grieve past pain and trauma, and b) focus on internal resources to help manage his/her greatest fears and unmet fantasies.

After 34 years as a therapist, I’ve observed that this inventory picks up speed as we age. Focusing on what breeds life becomes far more important than temporary

Healing the Body’s Memory: How EMDR Can Help You Move Past Medical Trauma

Medical trauma is unique because the threat often comes from the inside or from people we are supposed to trust. When you undergo an invasive procedure or face a sudden health crisis, your nervous system floods your body with adrenaline and cortisol. It triggers your stress response (fight, flight, freeze, or “caretake”). Normally, once a stressful event ends, your brain processes the memory and files it away. But when a medical event is overwhelming, that processing system
