EMDR Therapy
Move past trauma with eMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy technique used to help people heal from emotional trauma. Most people naturally carry memories of traumatic events with them for years and can sometimes prevent one from moving forward. EMDR Therapy strives to remove mental blocks that can cause people to feel “stuck” while replacing them with feelings of resolution and/or healing. While traditional talk therapy can help in a similar fashion, EMDR can achieve these results much quicker in many cases, which makes it one of the most popular trauma therapy techniques worldwide.

What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR Therapy is an eight-phase program designed to equip clients with calming techniques while lessening the impact of traumatic memories. One of the unique hallmarks of this approach is the bilateral stimulation component, which involves the therapist guiding the client to focus on eye movements, tones and taps. After honing your coping skills, we will monitor and perfect your ability to evade traumatic thoughts and create a long-term plan designed to sustain the results!
