    Why choose eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

    Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

    EMDR therapy is highly effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD and other trauma.

    Depressive disorders

    EMDR can significantly reduce the severity of suicidal thoughts and depressive symptoms in individuals with major depressive disorder.

    Panic disorder

    EMDR can help decrease the frequency and severity of panic attacks as well as fear of experiencing a panic attack.

    Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

    EMDR is an effective approach for improving obsessive thoughts in people with OCD.

    Anxiety disorders

    EMDR helps work with anxiety-inducing memories enabling individuals to stay calm in similar future situations and effectively manage symptoms of generalized anxiety.

    Chronic pain

    EMDR has shown positive results in reducing chronic pain by addressing the emotional factors tied to the experience of pain.

    What to expect from EMDR

    8 phases of treatment

    EMDR therapy involves 8 phases designed to help you process and heal from trauma-related emotional distress. These phases include reviewing your personal history, identifying specific target memories, and using guided techniques to reprocess traumatic experiences.

    6-12 sessions

    A typical course of EMDR therapy consists of 6 to 12 sessions, though the number may vary depending on individual needs. Many people notice improvement after just the first few sessions.

    Resourcing

    Resourcing involves developing personalized coping strategies to manage emotional responses during or between sessions. Your therapist will help you develop strategies and techniques that can reduce distress and enhance emotional regulation.
