What Is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidence-based treatment designed to help the brain process traumatic or distressing experiences that have gotten "stuck." During treatment, your EMDR therapist guides you through a structured process that reduces the emotional intensity associated with difficult memories while helping you develop healthier beliefs and coping strategies.
What Conditions Can EMDR Be Used to Treat?
Although EMDR is best known for treating trauma, it can be beneficial for anxiety, depression, grief, and more. An EMDR therapist may draw on their training to address:
PTSD and trauma-related disorders
Phobias and specific fears
Childhood trauma
Grief and loss
Stressful or distressing life experiences
Our therapists recognize that many clients experience co-occurring conditions. When appropriate, we will integrate EMDR with other evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to create a personalized treatment plan.
