Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Still carrying the weight of the past?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a proven, effective therapy that helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. It’s used to treat trauma, anxiety, grief, phobias, and more.

How It Works

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—like eye movements or tapping—while you focus on a distressing memory. This helps the brain “unstick” the experience, shifting how it’s stored so it no longer triggers intense emotional reactions.

You don’t have to talk through every detail. The process is structured, gentle, and led at your pace.

• Trauma (recent or childhood)

• Anxiety and panic

• Grief and loss

Why Clients Choose EMDR

Many clients feel relief faster than with traditional talk therapy. EMDR is especially helpful if you’ve felt stuck, numb, reactive, or like you’ve “already talked about it” but nothing changes.
