EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), is a really cool, interesting, and neuroscientific form of therapy. It is primarily used to help relieve clients from unresolved trauma and negative experiences.

I am an EMDR trained therapist and have completed some advanced training as well. I am a regular participant in a monthly EMDR consultation group with other therapists. I love using EMDR to help clients process trauma when appropriate.

EMDR is an evidence-based and neuroscience-informed integrative therapy that reduces distressing emotional symptoms from challenging life experiences and trauma. Using bilateral stimulation, EMDR works with and aids your brain’s natural impulse to move through feelings and thoughts to activate your natural healing processes. In successful EMDR therapy, the meaning of painful events is transformed on an emotional level and you'll feel empowered by the experience that once tarnished you.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR therapy, is the gold standard for decreasing the distress caused by traumatic or challenging life experiences, in general. Not only is it an evidence based therapy to decrease the disturbance of an adverse life event (or events), but it also works to help us move from painful, negative thoughts about ourselves to more positive beliefs which often allows us to see ourselves as we really are–worthy, lovable, and good enough.

I have been treating clients using EMDR since I completed my training in 2019, and I am working toward the EMDR International Association's certification. As an EMDRIA member, I am a huge fan of treating clients with trauma using this method, as it allows for processing without the need to share specific and intimate details of traumatic experiences.

Extensively researched treatment that has been found to be widely effective in helping people resolve traumatic symptoms and “move past your past”. EMDR has also proven effective for treatment of anxiety, depression, addictions, and complicated grief. For some clients, this form of therapy can produce rapid results, and many notice a significant shift in as few as three to four sessions.
