Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

 If you’ve been through something painful or overwhelming, and it still shows up in your thoughts, body, or relationships, you’re not alone. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-backed therapy that helps your brain “unstick” those memories so they can be processed and stored like other past events—without the emotional charge.

During EMDR, we use gentle, guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess stuck memories. You don’t have to go into every detail. Instead, we focus on helping your nervous system finally recognize that safety. Over time, the triggers lose their power, and you can feel more present, grounded, and free. 

You don’t have to carry it alone anymore—and healing doesn’t have to be painful. EMDR can help.

 💭 You’re stuck in the past
Certain memories, images, or feelings keep playing on repeat.

😨 You struggle with anxiety, panic, or phobias
Your brain and body react like danger is still happening — even when it’s not.

💔 You’ve experienced loss, abuse, or trauma
And it still hurts, even if it happened long ago.

🧠 You want a science-backed way to rewire your brain
EMDR helps your brain digest what happened — so it no longer runs the show.

🌈 You’re ready to feel lighter and move forward
This is about freedom — not forgetting, but healing.

• Personalized treatment plan and mapping.
  Everyone is unique and requires a personalized approach to EMDR. We carefully factor in your specific needs, experiences, background, and personal goals to optimize efficiency. This ensures we can address the core issues contributing to distress leading to more effective resolution and improvement in quality of life. 

• Coping tools with EMDR resourcing.
  Before diving into any reprocessing, we provide you tools and techniques to enhance support and facilitation during processing and beyond. These tools are soothing and are helpful for stress management or any kind of nervous system dysregulation. 

• Processing memories and experiences at your pace.
  We always work at your pace. Preparation and treatment planning is done collaboratively with you. There is no one specific timeline for healing.  

• Evaluating progress and adjusting your treatment plan.
  We are always checking in and monitoring progress. We understand you may have more than one goal in mind in how to utilize EMDR in the therapy room. We can adjust planning based on your progress or needs.  

• Unparalleled support and education.
  There is continuous support from us as we navigate EMDR with you. Some clients choose to remain with their primary therapist while working on EMDR with us. This is called adjunctive therapy and is encouraged! In fact, EMDR may enhance your work in therapy. We pride ourselves in educating clients about EMDR, EMDR's process, and nervous system regulation so you are always informed and confident in the process.
