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.

The folk's I work with are typically coping with the effects trauma and are wanting to re-process that trauma with EMDR. They are typically LGBTQIA+ folks , neuro-divergent , have open/varying ways of life. They are people struggling with generalized and social anxiety, Grief, PTSD, or ADHD. I also enjoy working with folks who like to utilize Astrology and Tarot in their therapy journey if it is within their pre-established belief system. Please note that I only see adults 18+.
