What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process and resolve distressing memories.
Instead of only talking about what happened, EMDR works with your nervous system to reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences. Over time, triggers lessen, beliefs shift, and you’re able to move forward with greater ease and clarity.
How EMDR Helps You Heal
Through EMDR therapy, you can begin to:
Feel more grounded and in control of your emotions
Experience fewer triggers and intrusive memories
Shift negative beliefs about yourself
Build healthier, more secure relationships
Move forward with greater confidence and clarity

Pain from your past is making life difficult and uncomfortable. All you want is to feel more secure in your own skin so that you can enjoy your relationships and experience fewer symptoms. Fortunately, therapy is an effective way to address and overcome your trauma so that you can be more comfortable and self-assured.
LIFE TRANSITIONS THERAPY
Transitions occur at every stage of life. For children, teens, and adults alike, life is full of curveballs and tough decisions. Changes—both welcome and not—tend to elicit an emotional response, causing anxiety, sadness, grief, and confusion.
COUPLES THERAPY
Whether you’re dating or have been married for years, you may have encountered conflict in your partnership. Maybe you find yourselves arguing more frequently or struggling to communicate your needs. Fortunately, you and your partner can restore intimacy and respect within your relationship.
EMDR THERAPY
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used during talk therapy sessions, as an adjunctive therapy with a separate therapist, or as a treatment by itself.
