Dr. Anne Bisek, Psy.D.
About Me
Since 2008, I have been providing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to first responders. My subspecialty within the fire, dispatcher, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and law enforcement population involves calls for service when a child dies. My dynamic therapy style is educational, humorous, and direct. I have also treated addictions, writer’s block and emotional eating using EMDR. I became certified in 2011.
