About

If you've been struggling to make connections, staying up all night thinking about your past, or can't imagine a better and more fulfilling life; allow me to help. I'm Dr. Adare Toral and I am a trauma specialist who uses EMDR & Parts-Work for Complex Trauma. If you want to resolve trauma in a way that is deeply healing and long-lasting, consider calling or emailing me today for a free consult. I provide EMDR and Parts-work intensives for rapid healing, allowing you to live your life to the fullest. I am the owner of Central Coast Psychotherapy and we have 2 additional therapists who also utilize EMDR and other therapy methods. I believe that therapy isn't the hour we spend together, it's what you do with it. Change can be hard, but I'm here to support you every step of the way because change is possible! I specialize in EMDR for complex trauma and offer therapy intensives for specific symptoms and targets, allowing you to reach your goals faster. I believe that authentic connection is central to my work as a therapist and as a human being. If you feel like it's been hard for people to understand you, your history, and your life- consider this a sign. Email for an appointment or free consultation, and we will take the first step together. Specialties: I utilize trauma-focused treatments including EMDR, IFS, and DBT. In our initial session we will get to know each other and discuss your personal goals for therapy. I offer various intensive styles including extended sessions or multi-day intensives in office, online, and in-home. Credentials & Experience: I am a licensed professional clinical counselor with the qualifications to work with couples, families, and children.

"I primarily use EMDR, a trauma treatment, that demonstrates great success for all kinds of people and all kinds of trauma. I also utilize mindfulness-based approaches including DBT and somatic therapy."
