Process what still feels stuck and move forward with more calm, clarity and freedom.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain naturally process distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming and have less impact on your daily life.
Every therapist is EMDR trained through EMDRIA approved training
Trauma-informed and dissociative informed care
Personalized, collaborative and paced to you
How EMDR helps
It can help you feel better in three main ways.
When something difficult happens, it can get stored in the brain and show up as intense emotions, negative beliefs about yourself and physical reactions in the body. EMDR helps process these so they no longer feel as distressing.
Lower distress
Experiences that once brought up intense fear, sadness, anger or shame feel calmer and more manageable.
More positive beliefs
Unhelpful beliefs like “I’m not good enough” or “It was my fault” can shift into more balanced, realistic and compassionate beliefs.
A calmer body
Tension, tightness, nausea or other physical reactions can settle. Your body no longer feels like it’s in a constant alarm mode.
