Great to meet you!

My name is Anu Vazhappilly, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of dedicated service to those navigating life's intricate challenges. My commitment to patient-centered care blends holistic principles with a profound understanding of psychodynamic and humanistic approaches. Specializing in guiding individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and ADHD with the innovative application of EMDR Therapy. Vazhappilly Wellness is deeply rooted in cultural sensitivity, ensuring that every individual's unique background is honored and respected.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

What you can expect from me

Potential benefits of combined treatment of Medication management and EMDR therapy

Faster symptom reduction:

EMDR can expedite the therapeutic process by addressing the root cause of symptoms, while medication helps manage immediate distress.

· Enhanced insight:

By processing traumatic memories through EMDR, clients may gain a deeper understanding of how their experiences impact them.

· Improved quality of life:

With reduced symptoms and better coping skills, clients can experience a significant improvement in their overall well-being.
