EMDR Therapy
Helping the brain process experiences that still feel stuck.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps the brain process distressing experiences that may continue to affect how you feel, think, and respond in the present.
What is EMDR?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a structured psychotherapy approach designed to help the brain process experiences that may remain emotionally distressing or continue to influence how you think, feel, and respond.
During EMDR, bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements or alternating tapping—is used while working with aspects of a distressing experience. The goal isn't to erase the memory, but to help it become less emotionally charged while supporting more adaptive beliefs and responses.
EMDR Therapy Options
Standard EMDR Therapy
Individual EMDR therapy integrated into ongoing psychotherapy. Sessions may include assessment, preparation and resourcing, target planning, reprocessing, and integration based on your individual needs.
Focused EMDR Therapy
EMDR treatment focused on specific memories, triggers, negative beliefs, or experiences. Preparation and readiness are assessed before reprocessing begins.
90-Minute EMDR Intensives
Extended sessions provide additional time for preparation and reprocessing without being limited to a traditional therapy hour.
EMDR may be a good fit if you find yourself feeling stuck in experiences that you understand logically, but that still feel emotionally or physically difficult to move past.
EMDR can be used to address experiences such as trauma and PTSD, distressing memories, anxiety, attachment and relationship wounds, grief and loss, negative beliefs about yourself, chronic pain-related distress, and difficult life experiences or transitions.
You do not need to know exactly what memory to work on before beginning EMDR. We can start by understanding what is affecting you now and work together to identify the experiences, patterns, or beliefs that may be connected.
EMDR is individualized. We will spend time assessing readiness, building resources, and developing a treatment plan before moving into reprocessing.
