Trauma doesn’t always come in big memories. It can manifest as hypervigilance, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting, intrusive thoughts or a constant feeling that you are not safe, even when you are.
Trauma therapy can help you process what happened at a pace that feels safe – and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be a powerful, evidence-based way to reduce the intensity and charge of traumatic memories.
Talk-based and EMDR-based processing with a licensed therapist. Focuses on memory reprocessing, safety, and integration.
Medical evaluation and medication management for PTSD symptoms — including sleep disruption, hyperarousal, and mood dysregulation.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that involves bilateral stimulation (often in the form of guided eye movements) to help the brain process traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity.
EMDR is not talk therapy where you have to talk about the trauma in detail. Many clients find relief in fewer sessions than they expected.
EMDR is recommended by the American Psychological Association, the World Health Organization and the VA for treating PTSD.
