​Our trauma-focused clinicians are trained in EMDR. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that helps heal the emotional distress from traumatic life experiences. EMDR can help process distressing memories related to a myriad of situations including early life abuse or neglect, bullying, domestic violence, grief/loss, and abandonment.

​

By developing internal resources and strengths and then using the bilateral stimulation, the mind can begin to move through these traumas. EMDR allows you to address the negative beliefs and experience freedom from their limitations. It allows you to know and believe that you are capable, intelligent, successful, loveable, worthy, desirable, attractive, whole and complete. While there is no therapy that can erase what has happened, the traumas can become memories.  You know they happened, but you also know they are no longer happening. You can also reach new understanding of the strengths that helped you make it through and create new beliefs about yourself.
