EMDR Therapy

(Heal Trauma at Its Root)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly researched, evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR works with the brain’s natural ability to reprocess memories.

When something traumatic happens, the memory can get “stuck” in the nervous system. This can lead to flashbacks, anxiety, nightmares, or negative self-beliefs (like “I’m not safe” or “I’m not good enough”). EMDR helps the brain unstick and reprocess these memories, so they lose their painful charge.

What EMDR can help with:

PTSD and complex trauma
Childhood abuse or neglect
Anxiety and panic attacks
Phobias and fears
Grief and loss
Negative self-beliefs that hold you back

Client Example:

Michael came after a car accident. Every time he drove, he relived the crash. With EMDR, he safely reprocessed the memory, and reclaimed his confidence behind the wheel.
