EMDR Therapy in Raleigh, NC

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most widely researched therapies for trauma, PTSD, and distressing memories. At Integrative Psychotherapy of NC, our EMDR therapists see clients in person at our North Raleigh office at 8601 Six Forks Road and by secure telehealth anywhere in North Carolina.

We use EMDR within a whole-person approach. Many of our clients combine it with somatic therapy, Brainspotting, or broader trauma therapy, so treatment fits your history, your nervous system, and your goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.

What EMDR Helps With

How Treatment Is Structured

Preparation. Assessment, treatment planning, and skill-building come before any active processing.
Bilateral stimulation. Guided eye movements or alternating taps, while you maintain awareness and control throughout.
Collaborative pacing. You set the pace, can pause at any time, and detailed disclosure of the memory is not required.
Outcome focus. The goal is to transform a memory from a present threat into something that belongs in the past.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EMDR and how does it work?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge. It's one of the most researched trauma therapies and doesn't require talking through every detail of what happened.

Is EMDR available via telehealth?

Yes — EMDR adapts well to secure telehealth, and our EMDR therapists offer it anywhere in North Carolina.

Do I need a PTSD diagnosis to try EMDR?

No. EMDR is used for a wide range of distressing memories and experiences, not only formally diagnosed PTSD.

How many EMDR sessions will I need?

It depends on what you're working on. A single distressing event may need fewer sessions than long-standing or complex trauma. Your therapist will talk with you about a realistic plan after your first sessions, and you can adjust the pace at any time.

Does insurance cover EMDR therapy?

EMDR is provided as part of psychotherapy, and we accept most major insurance plans as well as self-pay. Our admin team will verify your coverage before your first visit. See our Fees & Insurance page for the plans we accept.

Can I add EMDR while staying with my current therapist?

Yes. Jamie offers EMDR as an add-on service, coordinating with your primary therapist so the two parts of your care support each other.
