EMDR Therapy

Traumatic experiences can leave lasting imprints on your mind and body, affecting how you perceive yourself and the world. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy designed to help you process and resolve trauma, so you can move forward with greater ease and freedom.

EMDR uses a structured, eight-phase approach that incorporates dual attention stimulation (such as guided eye movements or tapping) while you recall difficult memories. This process helps your brain reprocess these experiences, reducing emotional distress and empowering you to heal.

 

EMDR may be helpful for those experiencing...

✔  Trauma and PTSD

✔  Anxiety and panic attacks

✔  Low self-worth or negative core beliefs

✔  Grief and Loss
