EYE MOVEMENT, DESENSITIZATION, AND REPROCESSING (EMDR)
I offer EMDR therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. EMDR therapy is a cost-effective, non-invasive, evidence-based method of psychotherapy that facilitates adaptive information processing. EMDR therapy is an eight-phase treatment which comprehensively identifies and addresses experiences that have overwhelmed the brain’s natural resilience or coping capacity, and have thereby generated traumatic symptoms and/or harmful coping strategies. Through EMDR therapy, clients are able to reprocess traumatic information until it is no longer psychologically disruptive.
During this procedure, clients tend to “process” the memory in a way that leads to a peaceful resolution. This often results in increased insight regarding both previously disturbing events and long held negative thoughts about the self. For example, an assault victim may come to realize that they were not to blame for what happened, that the event is really over, and, as a result they can regain a general sense of safety in his world.
EMDR therapy is helpful for people who suffer from panic attacks; phobias; performance anxiety; confidence building; stress reduction; complicated grief; sexual and/or physical abuse (historical or recent); disturbing memories; dissociative disorders; pain disorders; eating disorders; attachment disorders; body dysmorphic disorders; and addictions.
