EMDR Trauma Therapy

​EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based treatment that helps people process distressing memories and experiences so they no longer feel as intense or triggering in daily life. Many clients describe feeling “stuck” in patterns of anxiety, avoidance, or emotional reactivity—EMDR helps the brain and body reprocess what happened so you can move forward with more calm and control.

What EMDR Can Help With

• Trauma and PTSD (including single-incident and complex trauma)  
• Anxiety and panic symptoms  
• Persistent distress tied to past experiences  
• Low self-esteem and negative core beliefs  
• Relationship stress connected to trust, safety, or past hurt  
• Disordered eating or body image concerns when connected to underlying distress

​What to Expect in EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy is structured and collaborative. We begin by understanding your goals, your history, and what feels most urgent. You’ll learn stabilization and coping skills first, so you feel grounded and supported. When you’re ready, EMDR uses a guided process (often with bilateral stimulation such as eye movements or tapping) to help the brain reprocess distressing memories safely—so they lose their emotional “charge” over time.
