Dr. Rowitt uses CBT to equip clients with lifelong coping skills that support mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is an evidence-based approach used to treat trauma, anxiety, phobias, chronic pain, and performance challenges. This method helps reduce the emotional distress linked to difficult or traumatic experiences. EMDR follows an eight-phase structured protocol designed to ensure both safety and effectiveness. Dr. Rowitt can integrate EMDR within a faith-informed framework to promote deep emotional healing and renewed resilience.
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Therapy in South Florida
The Safe and Sound Protocol is a non-invasive, evidence-based listening therapy that helps regulate the nervous system and improve emotional and social functioning. Based on Polyvagal Theory, SSP uses filtered music to reduce sound sensitivities, enhance social engagement, and support a sense of safety and connection. This approach can benefit individuals dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, trauma responses, and nervous system regulation therapy needs. By gently re-tuning the body’s stress response, SSP fosters greater calm, connection, and resilience.
