EMDR

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a fairly new, nontraditional type of psychotherapy. It's growing in popularity, particularly for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD often occurs after experiences such as military combat, physical assault, rape, or car accidents.

EMDR is the gold star of trauma treatment. Whether you are having issues with an adversity that happened to you in your adult life or all the way back to your earliest years, trauma leaves scars we often can't treat with just talk therapy. S.A.F.E. EMDR can help resolve some of the oldest memories we no longer realize even effect us the way they do. If you are tired of talking and exploring and ready for really deep work I offer this service to you.

I am intensively trained (Level I, II, and III) in EMDR and Attachment focused EMDR. I have applied this model effectively for my clients to process traumatic memories and experiences throughout the lifespan, instill a sense of resilience, and integrate memories into a greater narrative and understanding of the self. With each client, we co-create an individualized plan that uses EMDR, DBT for trauma, CPT, Trauma Focused CBT, and ACT.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories EMDR facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experience to bring these to an adaptive resolution EMDR facilitates accessing the traumatic memory network so that information processing is enhanced with new associations forged between the traumatic memory and more adaptive memories or information

I am so passionate about this! EMDR is a structured therapy that helps people process and heal from distressing experiences. It involves recalling an event while using bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements). This helps the brain reprocess memories, reducing their emotional intensity & allowing more adaptive beliefs to form. It's not just for trauma but for any issue where you feel stuck.

EMDR is becoming widely used to treat trauma. This method helps the body reveal what has long since been hidden from our consciousness related to past trauma or painful events. This can keep us feeling stuck, anxious & depressed in a every day. Chronic overwhelming feelings often indicate the body is working hard to manage outward stress/experiences while managing inward fears from the past. It is possible to feel more safe & at ease in your body as well as move forward in your life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Helps clients to reprocess adverse experiences that contribute to negative thought patterns and emotional triggers. This form of therapy also helps people to feel more calm when they recall disturbing experiences.

EMDR therapy is effective at freeing us from limiting beliefs and distressing memories that keep us stuck, avoiding, or disconnecting. Are you ready to reclaim your past? On your terms?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly effective therapy for PTSD, endorsed by the World Health Organization. It rapidly reduces PTSD symptoms, with studies showing 60-90% of patients experiencing significant relief after just a few sessions. EMDR facilitates the brain's natural healing processes through bilateral stimulation, helping patients process and integrate traumatic memories, leading to emotional stability and reduced trauma-related distress.

EMDR was originally developed to treat PTSD, however, in the decades following it has been proven that EMDR can also treat many other disorders including anxiety, depression, addiction, attachment issues and so forth. EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation to activate specific parts of the brain. This is different than traditional talk therapy.

EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps reprocess traumatic memories, allowing individuals to heal, gain clarity, and break free from the emotional distress that has held them back.

One of the most heavily researched-based of all therapeutic approaches, EMDR is effective at reducing the effects of traumatic events. In fact, An EMDR research study, conducted by Kaiser HMO, showed that 100% of patients with single incident trauma no longer carried a diagnosis of PTSD after EMDR treatment. Both the The American Psychiatric Association and the Veterans Administration cite EMDR therapy as an effective PTSD treatment.

EMDR is a sophisticated, highly integrative treatment that draws from a variety of theoretical orientations. It is experiential and client centered, with the goal of assisting clients to reprocess and heal from their dysfunctional storage of trauma-based material. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a modality that uses a specific type of instinct to help people recognize that past traumas and distresses can no longer harm someone in the present. I am certified in this type of therapy, meaning I regularly seek more training in it, and I actually can consult with those still training in it as well. It is recognized as one of the gold standard approaches to PTSD because of it can help clients recode/detrigger traumatic experiences.

I have completed both Part 1 and Part 2 of EMDR training and have my certificate of completion. In my practice, I have found EMDR to be an effective protocol for many of the issues that clients experience, even outside of the realm of Trauma and Performance.
