Approach
EMDR
A structured, evidence-based way of helping the brain complete what trauma left unfinished.
What it is
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside a clear protocol to help distressing memories lose their emotional charge and get filed where they belong — as something that happened, not something happening.
How we use it
Inside a bigger conversation.
EMDR is one tool among many. We prepare thoroughly, integrate somatic and parts-centered work as needed, and only move into reprocessing when your system has the resources for it.
Common questions
What people ask.
- Do I have to relive what happened?
- EMDR is about reprocessing, not reliving. We stay oriented to the present and to your window of tolerance the whole time.
- Does EMDR work over telehealth?
- Yes. Bilateral stimulation adapts well to secure video sessions.
- How many EMDR sessions will I need?
- It depends on what you're bringing. Some pieces move in a handful of sessions; complex trauma is generally longer-arc work.
