We offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a highly effective approach for treating trauma and distressing experiences. EMDR is designed to help you process and resolve deeply ingrained memories and emotions, allowing you to move forward with a renewed sense of peace and well-being.

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process and integrate traumatic memories. By using bilateral stimulation—typically through guided eye movements—EMDR enables you to reprocess these memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge and allows for healthier coping. This can reduce triggers and the negative feelings/and automatic negative thoughts attached to the different traumatic experiences. 

Our Approach:

Our EMDR therapy focuses on:

• Processing Traumatic Memories: Work through past experiences that may be causing ongoing emotional or psychological distress.

• Reducing Emotional Distress: Decrease the intensity of negative emotions and anxiety associated with traumatic memories, helping you gain a more balanced perspective.

• Enhancing Self-Understanding: through EMDr you will Develop insights into how past experiences influence your current thoughts, behaviors, and emotions which allows for changes to take place in your thought process.

• Promoting Healing: You will no longer feel as though your past is controlling you, you will be able to create a sense of resolution and empowerment which  facilitates emotional and psychological healing.

What to Expect:

During EMDR therapy sessions, you will be guided by an EMDR trained therapist through a structured process that involves recalling distressing memories of your choice while engaging in bilateral stimulation. You will learn about physical and emotional reactions to trauma. You and your provider will discuss how ready you are to focus on your trauma memories in therapy. To prepare, you will learn some new coping skills. Next, you will identify the "target", or the upsetting memory or symptoms you want to focus on--including any negative thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations related to the memory. This approach aims to help you reprocess the memories in a way that reduces their emotional impact by storing them in a different part of your brain and this allows for the memories to integrate more adaptively into your life.

Benefits of EMDR Therapy:

• Effective reduction in symptoms of PTSD and trauma-related distress
