Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Through EMDR, clients can reduce emotional reactivity, gain perspective, and move forward with greater resilience, clarity, and confidence.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals heal from the emotional distress and symptoms caused by disturbing or traumatic experiences.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require detailed discussion of the traumatic event. Instead, it uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or tones—to help the brain reprocess distressing memories in a way that supports resolution and emotional balance.

EMDR helps the brain integrate experiences that were previously “stuck” in the nervous system, allowing clients to access adaptive beliefs and a greater sense of safety and calm.

EMDR is highly effective for individuals experiencing:

• Trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD)

• Anxiety and panic

• Depression or grief

• Negative self-beliefs or low self-worth

• Performance anxiety or chronic stress

• Emotional triggers related to past experiences
