About Dr. Armands Brants
Physician • Psychotherapy Specialist • Supervisor
Dr. Armands Brants is a physician and specialized psychotherapist with extensive training in body-oriented psychotherapeutic approaches. His unique combination of medical knowledge and psychotherapeutic expertise allows him to address the complex connections between physical and psychological health.
Psycho-Organic Analysis (POA)
Dr. Brants specializes in Psycho-Organic Analysis (POA) — a psychotherapeutic approach that integrates movement, bodily processes, and the dynamics of the psyche. This holistic method recognizes that psychological issues are often expressed through the body and that true healing requires addressing both physical and emotional dimensions.
POA is particularly effective for individuals dealing with:
- • Chronic stress and its physical manifestations
- • Psychosomatic conditions
- • Trauma and its impact on the body
- • Emotional regulation challenges
- • Mind-body disconnection
Professional Training
He received his comprehensive psychotherapy training at the French School of Psycho-Organic Analysis (EFAPO) from 1993 to 1998. This rigorous program provided him with deep expertise in body-oriented psychotherapy and the integration of somatic awareness with psychological healing.
EMDR Therapy
Later, Dr. Brants completed additional training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy at the Berlin Institute for Trauma Therapy. EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach particularly effective for treating trauma and PTSD. This additional expertise enhances his ability to help patients process traumatic experiences and achieve lasting healing.
Supervision & Mentorship
As a supervisor, Dr. Brants also provides guidance and mentorship to other psychotherapists, contributing to the professional development of the therapeutic community. His role as supervisor demonstrates his deep commitment to maintaining high standards of care and supporting the growth of the psychotherapy profession.
"The body remembers what the mind forgets. True healing happens when we integrate movement, breath, and awareness with psychological understanding."
