What is "EMDR Therapy"?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an evidence-based approach designed to help individuals heal from trauma and other distressing life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones—to help the brain process and integrate traumatic memories.

 

This process allows clients to access and reframe difficult experiences in a way that reduces emotional intensity and supports long-term healing. EMDR is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating PTSD, but it can also be beneficial for anxiety, grief, chronic pain, and a range of other concerns.​

EMDR

"Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy". EMDR is a trauma therapy (with a big fancy name) that helps us keep the trauma of the past more firmly in the past. This therapy is a powerful treatment for trauma, flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is paying attention, on purpose, without judgement. It's that last one that's the hardest! Mindfulness is a tool and practice that is incredibly useful in working with trauma, chronic pain, depression, and way more!

DBT

"Dialectical Behavior Therapy". This form of therapy is the gold standard for self-harm, suicide, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. We'll learn skills geared towards maintaining safety in crisis, managing difficult emotions, and building meaningful relationships. 

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Believe it or not, the traumas of the past often get stored in our body. The "ACE"s Study showed us that over time, these traumas can be linked to all kinds of health conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic pain, heart disease, and more! 

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

"CBT" is one of the gold standards of therapy. It's based on the idea that our thoughts effect our emotions, which in turn effect our behavior and vice-versa. If we learn to notice and work with our thoughts, that has a big impact on how we feel and what we're able to do.
