EMDR Therapy

An evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD.

Does your past still haunt you?

It happened years ago, but it feels like yesterday.

You know it wasn’t your fault, but deep down, you can’t help feeling like it was.

The emotions you experience when you’re reminded of what happened are overwhelming.

You’d give anything to get the picture of it out of your head.

EMDR can help.

My name is Michael, and I use EMDR to help trauma survivors heal.

I’m a therapist who has a passion for helping people be free from their trauma. No matter what happened, we can work through it together.

FAQs

  • EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. It uses back and forth eye movements called “bilateral stimulation” to help the brain process trauma. Nowadays, most therapists use handheld buzzers instead of eye movements to apply bilateral stimulation.

  • We don’t know for why EMDR works, but research and trauma survivors can attest to its effectiveness. Some scientists believe that the bilateral stimulation activates both sides of the brain to aid in processing. Others suggest that the bilateral stimulation distracts the brain so that it can process the trauma.

  • The amount of time it takes for EMDR to be effective can vary. Several variables, such as the intensity and amount of trauma, can affect the length of treatment. Many people experience some relief within the first five sessions.

  • EMDR can be helpful for most trauma survivors. First responders, child abuse survivors, servicemembers, and people involved in accidents or natural disasters have all benefitted from EMDR.

Trauma is not the end of your story.
