Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).

You’ve held onto it long enough.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to help individuals heal from the distressing effects of trauma and other adverse life experiences. By using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, EMDR helps reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. This evidence-based therapy is effective for conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, and phobias.

EMDR can be particularly beneficial for teens and adults. For teens, helping them process traumatic experiences, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional regulation during these formative years. For adults, EMDR provides a powerful tool to address long-standing trauma, one-time traumas, recent traumas, alleviate distressing symptoms, and foster emotional resilience.

Our therapist’s certified in EMDR are Emmalyn Kelly, Jenna Pluard and Kelli Karver

What to expect in an EMDR session:

During an EMDR session, your therapist will guide you through a gentle, structured process to help you heal from traumatic memories. You'll start by discussing your history and goals, and learning some simple relaxation techniques. Then, you'll focus on a specific memory and how it makes you feel. Using bilateral stimulation, like guided eye movements, you'll begin to reprocess the memory, which helps reduce its emotional impact. Your therapist will help you replace negative beliefs with positive ones and ensure you feel calm and supported throughout the session. At the start of each session, you'll review your progress and plan the next steps together.
