Healing can be more than revisiting the past…

Healing can be about creating the space to experience more of who you are beyond what you've been through.

Sometimes, even when you understand why you feel or respond a certain way, it can be difficult to change patterns that have been shaped by painful experiences. EMDR offers a way to begin exploring and processing these experiences, including the beliefs and emotions that may still feel connected to them. As you work through what you've been carrying, you may begin to relate to your past differently, recognize old patterns with greater awareness, and find more room to respond to the present in ways that feel aligned with who you are today and who you want to be in your relationships.

You don't have to erase your past to experience something different in your present. And you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin.

EMDR is not a quick fix, and everyone's experience is different. It's an opportunity to gently work through what still hurts, at a pace that feels manageable, while making space for new perspectives, greater self-understanding, and the possibility of relating to yourself and others in ways that feel healthier and more fulfilling.

Frequently Asked Questions:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy that helps you process difficult experiences that may still affect how you feel about yourself, relate to others, and respond to everyday situations. These experiences can shape your self-worth, trust, and the way you navigate relationships. Using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps reduce the emotional distress connected to past experiences so they feel less overwhelming in the present and have less influence on how you relate to yourself and others.
Sometimes, distressing experiences can continue to affect us long after they have passed. You might notice this through anxiety, strong emotional reactions, negative beliefs about yourself, or patterns in your relationships. EMDR helps you process these experiences in a structured and supportive 8 phases protocol so they may feel less overwhelming and have less influence on your present life. You remain aware of what is happening throughout the process and work collaboratively with your therapist.
The number of sessions varies depending on your experiences, goals, current circumstances, and available support. Some concerns may be addressed in a relatively brief course of treatment, while more complex, repeated, or longstanding experiences may require a longer process. Your therapist can work with you to develop a plan that respects your needs and readiness.
EMDR can bring up emotions, body sensations, or memories connected to difficult experiences. However, EMDR or any therapy modality should not involve pushing you beyond what you can manage. Treatment typically includes preparation and developing coping strategies before processing begins. Your therapist will work with you to establish a sense of safety, build resources, and adjust the pace based on your needs.
EMDR might not the right approach for everyone at every stage of their healing journey. An initial conversation with a trained EMDR therapist can help you discuss your goals, ask questions, and determine whether this approach feels appropriate for you at this time.
EMDR sessions are $220 per session. We are currently out of network providers. We provide super bills for clients paying out of pocket, getting reimbursed through their work, or using their out-of-network insurance benefits (if you are unsure if you have these, you can ask your insurance directly). We also provide sliding scales depending on financial needs.
No. One of the benefits of EMDR is that you don’t have to recount your entire story or share every detail of a painful experience for therapy to be helpful. EMDR involves briefly bringing aspects of a distressing memory to mind while engaging in the processing process, but it is not intended to make you relive the experience as though it were happening again.
You and your therapist can focus on specific memories or experiences without needing to go into every detail. Your therapist will work with you to understand what you feel comfortable sharing and help you move at a pace that feels manageable. You remain in control throughout the process and can ask for a pause or additional support whenever you need it.
