What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is one of the most research-backed treatments for trauma we have available to us. It enables us to heal from disturbing and distressing life events through targeting the brain's information processing system using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, audio, physical touch, etc.) to help the brain reprocess the memories in healthier ways. 

​

What can be treated with EMDR?

EMDR therapy helps children and adults of all ages. Therapists use EMDR therapy to address a wide range of challenges:

  • Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias

  • Chronic Illness and medical issues

  • Depression and bipolar disorders

  • Dissociative disorders

  • Eating disorders

  • Grief and loss

  • Pain

  • Performance anxiety

  • Personality disorders

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
