How can EMDR therapy help you?
Overcome the challenges holding you back and thrive
Effective at treating a wide range of challenges, EMDR therapy was originally developed to treat PTSD and general trauma symptoms. It is now also used to treat anxiety, panic, addiction, phobias, grief, depression, sexual dysfunction, dissociative disorders, somatic symptoms, and many forms of cognitive and emotional pain.
Ready to:
- Regularly feel calm and relaxed rather than overwhelmed with anxiety, panic attacks or phobias?

What is EMDR?
Transformative therapy for healing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a brain-based therapy that reduces feelings of emotional distress related to past experiences. By making your system less sensitive to certain memories, you can create opportunities for relief, freedom, and joy in everyday life.

Here are some frequently asked questions about EMDR Therapy
How does EMDR work?
Using an eight-phase treatment that uses bilateral sensation (noises, feelings, or sights on both your left and right side) to desensitize disturbing emotions.
The more repeated the trauma and the younger the person was at the time it occurred, the more complex the symptoms and their treatment. For more information about EMDR processing and overall treatment, read Experiencing EMDR therapy.
Is there any research around EMDR?
EMDR has an extraordinary amount of research considering that it is a relatively “young” therapy—roughly 35 years old. The International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, rated it a “Level A” treatment, the highest possible rating.
Controlled studies suggest that EMDR is as effective as CBT with exposure therapy. Advantages of EMDR overexposure therapy include the fact that EMDR does not require any homework. Additionally, EMDR processing is not prolonged; rather, its length is determined by you and your therapist. Finally, EMDR is nonverbal, making it effective for those who prefer not to engage in exclusively talk-based therapy.
How powerful is EMDR?
Multiple research investigations have examined the efficacy of EMDR for both PTSD and C-PTSD, with one study indicating that as many as 90% of individuals with single-trauma no longer meet criteria for PTSD following just three 90-minute sessions.
How is EMDR therapy different from other therapies?
In EMDR therapy, discussing distress isn’t necessary, nor is homework. Instead of altering emotions, thoughts, or behaviors, it facilitates the brain’s natural healing process by resolving unprocessed traumatic memories, often requiring fewer sessions than alternative therapies.
