Remote EMDR and specialized support for intimacy and trauma



Marcel is EMDR trained and offers remote sessions that can incorporate EMDR-informed methods for work related to trauma and post-traumatic stress. In accessible terms, EMDR uses guided attention and structured processing to help reduce the ongoing impact of upsetting memories and to support clients in moving forward from traumatic experiences. Marcel frames this training alongside his broader clinical focuses to address trauma symptoms and related concerns.

Alongside EMDR, Marcel provides therapeutic support for intimacy-related issues, sexual health and expression, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and relationship styles such as polyamory and non-monogamy. He also works with people facing stress, anxiety, life transitions, HIV and AIDS-related concerns, and end-of-life topics. Remote sessions can be used for both focused trauma processing work and ongoing conversations about relationships, sexuality, and life purpose.

Marcel offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as options for remote care. He describes his approach in terms of collaboration and tailoring sessions to the specific areas of concern named in his profile.
