Miranda Arellano

My transformative experience with therapy during my youth sparked a passion for helping others, leading me to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Counselling Psychology. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), serving clients in North Bay, Ontario. My training allows me to support individuals with challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, CPTSD, relationship issues, addiction, anger management, chronic pain, grief, infidelity, and stress.

​

Specializing in EMDR Therapy, I hold advanced training from the Traumatic Stress Institute and am a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant-In-Training.  My additional EMDR training includes:

​

  • The Desensitization of Triggers and Urge Reprocessing (DeTUR) for addictions

  • EMDR Protocol for Recent Critical Incidents and Ongoing Traumatic Stress (EMDR-PRECI)

  • Acute Stress Syndrome Stabilization (ASSYST) for individuals and groups

  • EMDR Integrative Treatment Protocol for Ongoing Traumatic Stress (IGTP-OTS) for individuals and groups

  • When There Are No Words -EMDR for Early Trauma and Neglect

  • Flash Technique

  • Looking Through The Eyes of Trauma and Dissociation

  • Ego State Therapy- Robin Shapiro 

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy 

​

I am dedicated to enhancing clinicians' skills in EMDR to better support their clients. I also specialize in couples therapy using the Gottman Method, addressing affairs, addictions, and trauma. My personal experience with EMDR fuels my commitment to this effective modality.

Acute Stress Syndrome Stabilization for Individuals and Groups (ASSYST-I) & (ASSYST-G)

When There Are No Words 

EMDR Intensives

ASSYST-I focuses on nervous system regulation and is used in rapid response settings, providing immediate support within hours to weeks after trauma. ASSYST-G is a group procedure bridging the gap between Psychological First Aid and high-intensity psychotherapy for individuals showing severe distress after a critical incident.

Sandra Paulsen’s work, "When There Are No Words," explores how EMDR therapy can address deep-seated or implicit trauma that is difficult to articulate. Her approach emphasizes the use of non-verbal techniques to help clients process and heal from unspoken emotional wounds. It is useful for repairing neglect and trauma from the attachment period. 

An EMDR intensive is a more immersive and therapeutic experience than traditional EMDR

sessions. It typically involves several hours of therapy per day, over a period of several days, with the goal of achieving rapid trauma resolution. This format allows for a deeper and more thorough processing of traumatic memories than is possible in traditional weekly sessions.

Looking Through the Eyes of Trauma and Dissociation

"Looking Through the Eyes of Trauma and Dissociation" by Sandra Paulsen delves into how early trauma impacts brain development and leads to dissociation. The book provides insights and strategies for using EMDR and ego state therapy to treat complex trauma, particularly in cases where dissociation is present.
