The Center for Scientific Psychology and EMDR Therapy «Encyclopedia» works with a broad range of psychological issues — from acute crisis states to deep processing of traumatic experience and career counseling. Each issue is considered individually, and the therapy plan is built on the basis of scientifically proven methods.
Below is the complete list of issues across four main areas. If you do not find your issue on the list — contact us: we will help determine which specialist and method are right for you.
One of the central areas of the center's work. We specialize in therapy for the consequences of psychological trauma — both single events and prolonged traumatic experience.

|---|---|---|
| PTSD | Post-traumatic stress disorder: flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, trigger avoidance | EMDR, TF-CBT |
