The Ins and Outs of EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy is an evidence-based method that helps individuals process traumatic memories and negative experiences using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. EMDR will allow you to reprocess emotionally charged memories, reducing their impact. This innovative form of trauma-focused therapy is effective for:

Anxiety – Overcome persistent worries and intrusive thoughts.
PTSD Treatment – Address lingering effects of trauma and regain a sense of control.
Trauma Recovery – Heal from events that have left you stuck or overwhelmed.
Stress Relief – Manage chronic stress and improve overall well-being.

During EMDR sessions, our therapists will work with you to identify distressing memories, reduce their emotional impact, and reframe how you respond to stress. This approach allows you to move forward without being weighed down by the past.

“To me, Megan takes into consideration what is important in my life, and instead of suggesting removing things that are meaningful but difficult, makes suggestions on lowering my stress around those things. When she does see my growth, which is often harder for me to see, she will point out how I may have reacted to a situation or trigger a year or two ago, and then helps me see for myself the growth in my reaction, my boundaries, etc”

“I enjoy Megan's open mind and also how she never seems frustrated or unhappy when it takes me several rambling sentences to try to get to a point. She also asks excellent follow up to clarify things and does not appear annoyed when she asks if I am talking about feeling X, and I have to say no, it is more like Y.
