EMDR

EMDR is a specialized trauma therapy that can help you move past through events that you feel “stuck” on.

How does EMDR work?

Through guided eye movements or tapping, EMDR helps you process trauma in a safe way and reducing their emotional intensity and impact. This allows clients to develop healthier beliefs and responses to past events without being overwhelmed by pain or fear.

What does EMDR treat?

PTSD, complex PTSD (incorporated with other treatment modalities), anxiety, depression, performance, grief and loss, phobias, childhood trauma/attachment wounds, medical or birth trauma, sexual trauma, and performance (perfectionism, imposter syndrome).

Will I be in control?

EMDR is not hypnosis and you have full conscious awareness while engaging with targeted memories during processing.

How long does EMDR therapy take?

This depends on the nature of the concern being treated, client’s history, and the client’s ability to tolerate high levels of emotions. In some cases, one session can be enough. It usually takes weeks to months, but sometimes years of treatment if coping with complex trauma (C-PTSD). When EMDR therapy is used appropriately, it can shorten the overall length of time spent in therapy.

Attachment-Based EMDR, parts work, & inner child/teenager healing

What is Attachment-Focused EMDR?

AF-EMDR is a type of EMDR that’s designed to help you heal from relationship-based trauma. It’s especially helpful if you grew up with inconsistent, neglectful, or emotionally unavailable caregivers.

What is Parts work and Inner child & Teenager Healing?

Parts work helps you understand the different sides of yourself, your overwhelmed, anxious, or people-pleasing parts and supports them in feeling heard and calmer. Through inner child and teen healing, we connect with younger versions of you, giving them the care, safety, and understanding they may have missed, so you can feel more grounded, whole, and empowered in your relationships and daily life.
