We offer EMDR therapy to help you process trauma and rewire your emotional responses.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy offers a clinically proven path toward healing from trauma and emotional distress. Developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this approach has also shown powerful results for anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, grief, and other deeply rooted emotional challenges. EMDR therapy helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer carry the same emotional charge, allowing for meaningful and lasting relief.
EMDR therapy utilizes bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sound, to help both sides of the brain work together more effectively, unlike traditional talk therapy. This process mimics how the brain naturally processes information during REM sleep, enabling clients to move beyond being stuck in the emotional aftermath of trauma. Clients do not need to go into detail about every aspect of a painful memory. Instead, they focus on specific moments while engaging in the stimulation technique, which helps shift their internal responses to those experiences.
Our licensed clinicians follow the standardized eight-phase EMDR model, which begins by building a strong foundation of trust, identifying target memories, and developing coping strategies before proceeding to reprocessing. Throughout every phase, your safety and emotional well-being remain the top priority. We adapt the pace of therapy to match your comfort level, ensuring you remain grounded and supported.
Many clients report feeling significant improvement after just a few sessions, and the benefits often continue to grow as therapy progresses. EMDR helps create new, healthier associations in the brain, freeing you from emotional blocks that have impacted your thoughts, behaviors, or sense of self.
