Robert DeSalvo, Nashville Therapist

Robert DeSalvo is a dedicated therapist passionate about helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and PTSD through a comprehensive, evidence based approach. As the founder of EMDR Therapy Nashville and Psychedelic Therapy Nashville, he specializes in EMDR therapy, integrating somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness practices to create personalized, holistic treatment plans. He believes true healing goes beyond symptom management, focusing on deep transformation and lasting wellness.

With a commitment to cutting edge trauma informed care, Robert also explores psychedelic assisted therapy as an innovative approach to unlocking deeper healing. His warm, intuitive, and collaborative style ensures a safe, supportive space where clients can process the past, rebuild resilience, and step into a more empowered, connected version of themselves.

EMDR is backed by extensive research and endorsed by major organizations like the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization as an effective treatment for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and more.

Studies show that EMDR can achieve faster symptom relief than traditional talk therapy, often in fewer sessions, by directly targeting and reprocessing distressing memories.

EMDR helps shift trauma stored memories from the emotional center to the rational brain, reducing emotional distress and transforming negative beliefs into healthier ones.
