Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
What is EMDR?
Sometimes it is hard to talk about feelings or an adverse event. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a great path for people who haven't found the results they seek though traditional talk-therapy. Unlike other therapies it does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue. EMDR Therapy adjusts maladaptive information stored in the brain and allows it to resume its natural healing process.
EMDR Therapy is an evidence-based therapy designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. For many clients, EMDR Therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies and studies have shown long-term results.
EMDR Therapy is utilized to address a wide range of challenges:
- Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
- Chronic Illness and medical issues

- Performance anxiety
