Heal Beyond the Memories
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process distressing memories, reduce emotional distress, and develop healthier responses to past experiences.
Our Marriage Counseling Approach
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain reprocess traumatic or distressing experiences that may continue to affect how you think, feel, and respond today.
Rather than repeatedly talking through painful memories, EMDR helps the brain process them in a way that reduces their emotional intensity while allowing you to retain the memory without feeling overwhelmed by it..
What Makes our Approach Different
During EMDR therapy, you'll briefly focus on a distressing memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or other alternating forms of stimulation. This process helps the brain reprocess the memory so it becomes less emotionally distressing over time.
You remain awake, aware, and in control throughout the entire session.
