Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing - EMDR
Proven, evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, and other distressing life experiences
Using guided eye movements or other forms of dual-attention stimulus, EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories, so they lose their emotional charge and no longer feel overwhelming. Recommended by the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization for its effectiveness and efficiency, EMDR has helped millions of people around the world recover from PTSD, childhood trauma, abuse, grief, phobias, and more.
What to expect
An EMDR session feels focused, supportive, and surprisingly natural. You’ll be asked to recall a specific memory while your therapist guides you through gentle eye movements or tapping—helping your brain reprocess the experience in a way that reduces its emotional impact. You stay fully awake and in control the entire time, and most people find the process deeply relieving, even after just a few sessions.
