Healing Minds, Transforming Lives
Supporting personal growth and healing using somatic methods in trauma recovery
Equipping health professionals to facilitate faster and effective patient healing safely
Cutting-edge trauma recovery that is
SAFE and GENTLE
True healing goes beyond surviving distress; it is about accessing the power to flourish. My professional philosophy blends genuine empathy with clinical mastery. For patients, I offer a secure environment to rebuild your inner strength. For clinicians, I provide certification in a brain-focused, somatic-sensory model of healing that avoids re-traumatization.
Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) represents a modern breakthrough in resolving life challenges, including significant trauma and stressful past events.MEMI is particularly effective for individuals who found traditional talk or exposure therapies too taxing or incomplete. This method is significantly swifter and produces less emotional strain than EMDR.
As a somatic and sensory advancement in psychotherapy, MEMI utilizes the full visual field to stimulate cognitive processing while prioritizing patient emotional security. Because clients aren't required to verbalize painful details, it minimizes the risk of secondary trauma for the practitioner as well.By integrating sensory awareness with specific ocular patterns, we help deactivate the amygdala and reorganize memory storage. This shift reduces trauma symptoms effectively.
Many patients report a renewed sense of self and vitality after only a single clinical session.We offer advanced training modules specifically for mental health clinicians. Our curriculum emphasizes somatically-informed recovery, clinical resilience, and hands-on trauma techniques.

The Soul of Recovery
I am Dr. Maria Gear Haugen, PhD, MBA. Throughout my decade-long career as a Clinical Psychologist treating veterans with PTSD at VA sites, patients began affectionately calling me Dr. H. They often remarked that they wished they could carry my support with them daily. This inspired my practice name, "Dr H in Your Pocket".
Before embracing Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI), my practice focused on traditional modalities like Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Written Exposure Therapy and Narrative Exposure Therapy. Since integrating MEMI, I have observed that even those with the most complex histories experience rapid, life-altering relief from their symptoms.Distinct from cognitive models, MEMI targets the sensory roots of a memory without requiring a detailed narrative of the pain. These protocols prioritize the client's safety, ensuring they can finish the healing process. As a therapist, I find this approach essential for preventing burnout and secondary stress.In my experience, patients who felt stuck in other therapeutic models often find their breakthrough here. The clarity and efficiency of this method make it an indispensable tool for both general practitioners and dedicated trauma experts.
empathy and excellence
in Every Encounter
"If you seek a direct and powerful way to address trauma, MEMI is the answer... Having studied several specialized trauma protocols, I find MEMI to be the most accessible to use with my patients. Dr. Maria encourages exploration and ensures every student leaves with total confidence. Her teaching style is practical and filled with levity, making the hours fly by. A definite five-star experience." -Cynthia Chen, PhD

What is MEMI?
MEMI is a sensory-focused breakthrough in clinical trauma work. It utilizes a comprehensive visual field to help the brain process distress while ensuring the patient feels completely secure.
By engaging somatic elements and specific eye tracks, we help deactivate the brain's alarm center, allowing traumatic memories to be reorganized and stored in an integrated way.
Explore the latest innovations in neuro-sensory therapy and understand how MEMI can fundamentally change your clinical outcomes.
