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 several of our clinicians offer it statewide.

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.
