EMDR Therapy

EMDR is a therapy approach that helps your brain process difficult memories so they feel less overwhelming.

EMDR follows a structured, eight-phase approach that helps your brain safely process painful memories, reduce distress, and build more grounded emotional responses. Each phase has a specific purpose, from preparing your nervous system, to reprocessing past experiences, to strengthening new beliefs. This structure is what makes EMDR both effective and gentle, allowing healing to unfold at a pace that feels right for you.

To learn more about the eight phases, you can read EMDRIA's detailed overview here.
