My name is Ember Dreemur, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor credentialed in Arkansas, USA. I believe that there is a way forward for everyone, but not all paths are the same or similar lengths. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for those in need, and who may be questioning their existence, self worth, or even their own thoughts and decisions.
I have been working in the mental health field for over 14 years and specialize in helping those struggling with grief, trauma, chronic depression, and more. My practice is grounded in interpersonal neurobiology, which explores how our brain, body, and relationships influence each other. This approach helps ensure that the solutions and skills you learn are long-lasting and personally meaningful. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I specialize in Sand Tray Therapy and EMDR Therapy—both evidence-based methods that can deepen the healing process. These approaches work alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, offering additional ways to process emotions and experiences that may be difficult to address through words alone

Life is difficult at any age or stage of life, regardless of what is going on. Traditional talk therapy can help you can gain insight into your emotions, develop coping strategies, and learn new skills to help you navigate life's challenges.
Telehealth therapy has been proven to be just as effective as traditional in-person office therapy. While in the comfort of your own space, work on difficult topics so you can bring a sense of safety back to the place where you need it the most.
Sand Tray Therapy is a beautiful technique for all ages to work gently with trauma, grief, and infinite other issues and stressors. We all carry around both conscious and unconscious memories, some of which are quite painful. When we have painful unconscious memories, or perhaps conscious memories that are too painful to discuss, typical types of talk therapy aren’t as helpful. This is where sand tray therapy can help.
Sand tray therapy allows the client to choose figurines and other objects they resonate with or that make them feel safe and place them in the sand, allowing the mind to navigate deep and personal memories on a subconscious level.
Sand Tray Therapy is particularly helpful for individuals who may have a hard time verbalizing their memories and wounds.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a unique form of trauma therapy.
Trauma is difficult for our brains to process. Feelings, emotions, and other sensations may get "shoved aside" during a traumatic event, creating lingering, complicated emotions and symptoms long after the danger is over. EMDR helps us access these hidden memories that stem from trauma, difficult experiences, and even childhood that are unconsciously directing our day to day choices.
