What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing experiences. Through gentle guided techniques, EMDR reduces the emotional intensity of painful memories and supports lasting relief and balance.
How EMDR Therapy Can Help
EMDR can be especially helpful when you’ve tried traditional talk therapies but still feel stuck or weighed down by the impact of past experiences. It’s an evidence-based approach proven to reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories and promote deep healing from complex trauma, anxiety, and grief. Over time, clients often notice more calm, clarity, and confidence as they reconnect with their sense of safety and self.Stress, anxiety, and depression
What to Expect in EMDR Therapy
During EMDR therapy, you’ll work with a trained therapist who gently guides you through structured techniques designed to help your brain reprocess distressing memories. Sessions may include eye movements, tapping, or gentle sounds that engage both sides of the brain—helping you process emotions in a safe and supported way. Each session moves at your pace, with grounding and care at every step.
