EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a highly researched psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences including PTSD, anxiety, panic disorders, and depression.

EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or trauma. The unique thing about EMDR is it focuses on helping the brain resolve unprocessed traumatic memories with the use of bilateral visual, tactile and/or audio stimulation within the context of a phase specific therapeutic process. A clinical assessment will help determine if this is a safe and appropriate option for you.

What are the benefits of EMDR?

• You may find relief and reach your goals sooner than typical talk therapy

• Decrease in distressing thoughts and feelings, nightmares, chronic stress and tension associated with trauma

• Feeling more empowered and confident

• Improvements in relationship with yourself and others

  *EMDR can be used in conjunction with talk therapy you may be doing with a primary therapist or with couples therapy.
