EMDR
(Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
What is it and how does it work?
When Talk Therapy Doesn't Work
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help clients process past trauma, reduce anxiety, and overcome distressing memories. EMDR uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess painful experiences safely. Many clients notice a reduction in symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety after just a few sessions, allowing them to regain emotional balance and improve overall well-being.
Is EMDR for PTSD?
EMDR Therapy for PTSD and Trauma Healing
If you’re struggling with PTSD, anxiety, or the lingering effects of trauma, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can help you find relief. EMDR is an evidence-based trauma therapy designed to help your brain safely process distressing memories. Instead of forcing you to relive painful experiences, EMDR uses guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories, helping you regain control over your thoughts, emotions, and daily life.

What does EMDR feel like?
What to Expect in EMDR Therapy
During EMDR sessions, you’ll work at your own pace with a trained EMDR therapist. You don’t have to talk about every detail of your trauma — instead, we focus on how the memory feels in the present and help your brain reprocess it in a safer, more balanced way. Many clients describe EMDR as less overwhelming than traditional talk therapy.
How EMDR Feels
You might notice emotions come and go, memories shifting, or a sense of relief as the process continues. Over time, the painful memories that once felt “stuck” start to lose their power, allowing you to feel calmer and more in control.
Is EMDR Right for You?
EMDR isn’t just for trauma or PTSD — it can also help with anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and relationship stress. If you’ve tried therapy before and still feel “stuck,” EMDR can help unlock deeper healing and lasting change.
What Makes This Approach Different
EMDR works by helping your brain do what it naturally wants to do: heal. It doesn’t erase your memories — it changes how they affect you. You’ll always be in control of the process, and your therapist will guide you with compassion, safety, and care.
