Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR)
EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports the brain’s natural healing process—reducing emotional distress linked to past experiences. Often used to treat PTSD, EMDR is also effective for anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, and more. Clients remain fully awake and in control throughout the process, which can be integrated into a broader treatment plan or used as a focused intervention.
