EMDR Therapy

Healing from the Inside Out

What Is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) is an evidence-based method designed to help your brain release the emotional intensity of past experiences—without having to relive them in detail. Using bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements, gentle taps, or tones), we work together through eight structured phases, from preparation and history review to desensitization, installation of positive beliefs, and body-based closure.

Developed in the late 1980s and endorsed by major mental health organizations, EMDR is a first-line, proven treatment for PTSD, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges, and it can also support healing from emotional wounds that linger below the surface.

We Explore the Past

We identify the memories or beliefs that keep you stuck, like “I’m not safe” or “I’m not enough,” and create emotional safety in the present.

Bilateral Stimulation

Through gentle rhythmic stimuli, we help your brain reprocess those memories so they lose their emotional charge.

Integrating New Beliefs

You’ll gently replace old pain with healthier, more empowering beliefs like “I am safe now” or “I am worthy.”

Grounding and Closure

Sessions end with a body scan and calming techniques, helping you return to balance and safety.

EMDR Works — Even Online

Online EMDR is a safe, effective, and flexible option, ideal for busy high-achievers, medical professionals, and clients who prefer the light of home. A service evaluation comparing online vs. in-person EMDR for PTSD found no difference in drop-out rates or adverse effects, with even slightly better outcomes reported online in some cases.

Professional groups like EMDRIA affirm that virtual EMDR offers meaningful, measurable support, and thriving research continues to show its benefits. One evaluation noted it's “an acceptable, safe and effective alternative to in-person EMDR.”
