Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) relies on a client's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements, and is founded on the belief that these eye movements can weaken the intensity of emotionally charged memories. EMDR is most often used to treat PTSD or other traumas, but is also sometimes used for panic attacks, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety. EMDR sessions can last up to 90 minutes, and usually starts with a client rating their level of distress. A therapist then typically moves their fingers in front of your face (or sometimes toe tapping or musical tones), asking you to follow along with your eyes, while you recall a traumatic event and all the sensations that come with it. You will gradually be guided by the therapist to shift thoughts from the traumatic experience to a more comforting one. The goal of EMDR is to make disturbing memories less immobilizing. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s EMDR specialists today.

Our clients are motivated to change their behaviors and circumstances and work hard to create progress through practice of new skills. We work with single-event and complex trauma, dissociation, and personality/interpersonal difficulties as well as more general mental health conditions. Our clients are usually between the ages of 18 and 50 but some clinicans work with younger and older clients. We are LGBTQ+ friendly, multi-culturally aware, and sex positive.

Anxiety is not who you are, it’s what you’re feeling - and we can change that. I specialize in helping people struggling with anxiety shed old patterns of overthinking, self-criticism, and self-doubt. Clients tell me that after our work they leave feeling confident, grounded, and calm. I also provide crucial space for therapists/trainees looking for a place to take off their "therapist hat" and settle in for that long journey into themselves.
