EMDR Therapy

EMDR helps you reprocess painful memories, reduce emotional intensity, and uncover a healthier, more confident sense of self.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy developed in the late 1980s to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. In sessions, you focus on troubling memories while engaging in gentle eye movements, tapping, or sounds.

This process helps your brain reprocess stuck memories, lowering their emotional charge and allowing you to move forward with greater ease.

Benefits of EMDR

Process
Trauma Safely

EMDR helps the brain resolve traumatic memories without reliving them, easing distress and creating emotional relief.

Reframe
Negative Beliefs

Replace limiting self-talk and painful self-perceptions with healthier, more empowering beliefs.

By reprocessing past experiences, EMDR strengthens your sense of self, reduces anxiety, and improves daily functioning.

Build
Confidence & Resilience

What EMDR Therapy Can Help With

  • Post-traumatic stress symptoms
    (flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, intrusive memories)

  • Trauma or abuse histories
    (including childhood trauma, medical trauma, accidents, combat, or traumatic loss)

  • Anxiety or depression connected to past experiences
    When distress feels rooted in earlier events rather than current circumstances

  • Grief or complicated loss
    Especially when memories or emotions feel “stuck” or overwhelming

  • Specific fears or phobias
    (such as flying, driving, public speaking, or medical procedures)

  • Low self-esteem or chronic self-doubt
    Often linked to early relational experiences or repeated emotional injuries

  • “Little t” traumas
    Ongoing or subtle experiences—such as emotional neglect, repeated criticism, or chronic stress—that may not appear traumatic from the outside but continue to impact safety, self-worth, or trust
