EMDR Services

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It’s particularly effective for treating PTSD, anxiety, grief, phobias, fixed belief systems, and other symptoms related to unresolved memories. During EMDR, the therapist guides you to focus on a difficult memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation (such as side-to-side eye movements or tapping), mimicking our brain’s natural rhythm during REM sleep.

This process helps the brain do what it wasn’t able to do at the time of the event: sort through what happened, make sense of it, and file it away. The memory itself doesn’t disappear, but the emotional intensity around it begins to fade. Rather than feeling like it defines you or controls you, it becomes something you can hold with more distance, clarity, and peace.
