emdr

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR therapy includes a set of standardized protocols that incorporate elements from many different treatment approaches.

EMDR therapy can help reduce the emotional intensity connected to disturbing memories, sexual abuse, physical abuse, panic attacks, phobias, and other painful experiences that continue to affect daily life.


Reduces anxiety, stress, and body-based distress


 EMDR may be helpful for panic symptoms, performance anxiety, stress reduction, pain disorders, and body dysmorphic concerns by helping the nervous system respond with less fear, tension, and reactivity.


Supports grief, dissociation, and emotional regulation


 EMDR can be used to address complicated grief, dissociative symptoms, and patterns often connected to personality disorders by helping clients build stability, increase awareness, and process unresolved experiences at a safe pace.


Addresses patterns linked to coping and behavior 


 EMDR may support treatment for addictions and other coping patterns by targeting the memories, beliefs, triggers, and emotional pain that can contribute to repeated behaviors.
