Pinedale, WY – Jan Schaad is a top notch psychotherapist, known nationally and internationally, and an approved consultant and trainer with the EMDR International Association.

“My work centers on helping people work through emotional difficulties and mental health challenges so they can become their best selves,” says Jan. “Fortunately, in psychotherapy today, we have been increasingly and successfully integrating alternative medicine techniques into healing our clients with remarkably sustainable results.”

Developed by psychologist, Francine Shapiro, EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and can treat anything ranging from mental health issues to addictions. In an EMDR procedure, the therapist leads clients in specific eye movements, and other movements, that release our bad memories and allow negative thoughts, beliefs and emotions to be constructively recycled and eliminated.

“My work is also focused on the whole person approach,” says Jan. “This emphasizes how our thoughts and attitudes affect how our bodies function since the mind and body are clearly linked. For instance, when we are depressed or anxious this affects our physical bodies as well and our overall health and longevity.” 

With her tailored and structured treatment plans, Jan encourages people try a variety of different modalities like acupuncture, massage, meditation, reiki, and yoga that provide them ways to connect more with themselves and their life’s purpose.

“I love supporting my clients to be more self-aware of their internal state and get help to navigate through  problems and shift their perspective.”
