Like all of my services, I do EMDR remotely, so you can participate from the comfort of home. I use a specialized platform that allows the process to take place smoothly and be as effective as in-person EMDR.
What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a well-researched, integrative therapy proven effective for treating trauma. It follows standardized protocols and draws from various therapeutic approaches.
How Does EMDR Work?
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, often through eye movements, to activate both sides of the brain. This mimics the brain's natural processing during REM sleep, helping to reprocess trapped memories and restore normal information processing. EMDR is often used to address trauma, childhood abuse, neglect, and related beliefs.
What Does EMDR Help With?
EMDR can be effective if you experience distressing emotions, heightened reactions to triggers, or believe in negative thoughts about yourself that you intellectually know aren't true. Initially developed for PTSD, EMDR has also been helpful for other conditions. See the list below for examples.
EMDR individual sessions can be done weekly, every other week, or at a different pace depending on your treatment plan.
What Are EMDR Intensives?
EMDR Intensives are specialized therapy sessions designed to accelerate healing from trauma and related issues. Unlike traditional weekly sessions, my intensive sessions last 4-6 hours and involve additional clinical planning, materials, and technology.
Please note that insurance does not cover these sessions due to their specialized nature.
Why Choose EMDR Intensives?
EMDR is a highly effective, research-supported trauma treatment known for its efficiency and tolerance. Our intensives can achieve in a week what might take a year of regular sessions. They offer rapid, substantial relief and long-lasting improvement in functioning.
Who Can Benefit?
EMDR Intensives are ideal for those seeking quick, profound healing from trauma or loss. Whether you're dealing with visible distress or hidden issues from past experiences, intensives help address and resolve these core challenges. Clients often find them perfect for their busy schedules and appreciate the fast results.
EMDR had been originally established as helpful for PTSD, although it’s been proven useful for treatment in the following conditions:
