EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy for symptom management, understanding triggers, support and validation, enhancing quality of life, and more.
An authentic and honest exploration of feelings in EMDR therapy.
If any of these sound like you:
- You wish there was somebody who could explain why certain sounds or sights trigger intense anxiety or fear, even though they seem ordinary to others.
- You hope to find a way to sleep through the night without reliving traumatic events in your dreams, which leaves you exhausted each morning.
- You are looking for a reason why you suddenly feel irritable or on edge, even in safe and familiar environments.
- You need someone to help you understand why your reactions to certain people or relationships feel disproportionate and hard to rationalize.
- You want to find out why memories of past events suddenly surface with vivid intensity, making it hard to focus on the present.
- You are searching for a method to help you feel less detached from your surroundings and more engaged with the world around you.
EMDR therapy could be right for you.
We provide EMDR therapy to help with…
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):
EMDR therapy is highly effective in assisting individuals with PTSD in processing and healing from traumatic memories. For those haunted by intense and distressing memories, EMDR provides a structured approach to diminish the emotional impact of these recollections. Through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or taps, EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic events in a way that reduces their psychological impact. This aspect of EMDR is crucial for individuals who experience flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, as it facilitates the development of more adaptive coping mechanisms and a decreased arousal response to triggers.
Anxiety and Panic Disorders:
EMDR therapy is remarkably beneficial for individuals struggling with anxiety and panic disorders. It targets the deep-seated memories and experiences that may contribute to current anxiety symptoms, offering a pathway to process these events in a controlled and therapeutic setting. This therapeutic approach is vital for those who experience sudden, overwhelming panic attacks or persistent anxiety, as it enables them to identify and modify the psychological triggers that precipitate these states. EMDR equips individuals with the ability to manage their responses to stress more effectively, promoting a calmer and more composed mindset. Over time, this leads to reduced anxiety levels, fewer panic episodes, and a greater overall sense of control over one’s emotional state, contributing significantly to improved daily functioning and quality of life.
Depression:
Through its structured approach using bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain to reprocess these memories, allowing individuals to experience a significant decrease in the emotional intensity associated with them. This reprocessing can lead to a reduction in depressive symptoms, as individuals find themselves less burdened by past negative experiences. By promoting emotional healing and resilience, EMDR aids in fostering a more positive outlook and a reconnection with the joys and activities that once brought pleasure.

What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend or family?
The difference is between someone who can do something, and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, therapy is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.” Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, if you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.
How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?
Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, therapy will be different depending on the individual. We tailor our therapeutic approach to your specific needs.
I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?
We are so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication is crucial to your success. After all, we only see each other for a session a week. It’s the work you do outside of our sessions that will really help you see your personal growth and development.
My partner and I are having problems. Should we be in individual counseling or come together?
If you are concerned about your relationship, and you would both like to work with us, we would initially work with both of you together. After this work, if one of you would like to continue in individual sessions, we could work with only one of you. It is not helpful to move from individual into couple’s work with the same therapist because of potential trust issues.
