Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a unique and powerful therapy which allows people to access and process trauma rapidly, effectively, and with prolonged healing results. EMDR has been used extensively and with great success for a number of populations, including first responders, veterans, and others who experience trauma through their professions. 

​

Many elements of EMDR are the same as with traditional talk therapy. You will still spend several sessions sharing your history and goals in therapy, while building a relationship with your therapist prior to EMDR processing. During EMDR processing, bilateral stimulation will be used (visual, tactile, or auditory) to stimulate your brain and encourage processing of trauma.

​

This structured therapy has been proven in numerous studies to be safe and effective for a number of mental health issues (www.emdr.com/efficacy/) 

More information about EMDR is available on the resources page.
