Jim Toombs, MA, LMFTA
I have good training and strong clinical experience. In addition to the tools of the average therapist, I lean heavily on EMDR. It's highly effective in the treatment of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), depression, abuse, trauma, and more. I have been an EMDR therapist in San Antonio for a very long time - since the mid-90's.

CLIENTS HAVE ASKED ME FOR HELP WITH: depression, anxiety, marital and relationship problems, bipolar depression, dissociative disorders (including DID), phobias, chronic pain, migraines, abortion trauma, and traumatic events no matter what the cause, no matter how long ago they happened.

Nothing looks good. Nothing tastes good. What you love no longer excites. Sometimes even getting out of bed is a monumental chore. Some people think that even death would be better than this, and suicidal ideation - thinking about suicide all the time - delivers its own unique pain. Or maybe you feel a constant tightness in your back, your neck, your shoulders, your jaws.
It is possible with EMDR to clear a "simple" PTSD memory of its toxic effects in just a few sessions. PTSD, of whatever origin, no matter how long ago, can be effectively treated with EMDR. So can Complex PTSD. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE TRAINED BY FRANCINE SHAPIRO, the originator of EMDR, and other EMDR experts.

Report
I went to Jim for EMDR therapy for PTSD and he'd initially said it'd take a certain number of sessions before I was 'better,' and I went way beyond that number and showed very little, if any, improvement. He was a very nice guy and I could tell he cared about what I was telling him, so I don't know if it was the EMDR or his process that didn't work. In the end, I stopped going due to lack of progress and cost of sessions.

I called him to try and establish myself as a new patient. He called me back and immediately responded to me and assured me he would be able to help me. Thank you so much for your immediate response.
