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 IFS 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.
