What is Trauma / EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is an alternative to traditional talk therapy. The goal of EMDR therapy is to assist clients in processing, not merely talking about, unresolved issues that have been stored maladaptively in the brain and continue to disrupt thinking, feelings and behavior. Research has shown, and we have experienced, EMDR to be a very effective treatment with a number of people dealing with a variety of issues.
Who is Trauma / EMDR Therapy for?
If you or a loved one is a survivor of psychological trauma, it's crucial to get help as soon as possible. Because the symptoms of traumatic stress can lead to secondary problems, the sooner you get help, the less damage you'll have to overcome.
How do I get started?
Your first step is to call us to schedule your initial appointment. You will be asked to provide some initial information over the telephone and fill out our patient consent form. You may then be scheduled for an initial session which provides an opportunity for us to build a rapport. In addition, we will be able to answer your questions regarding services, fees, confidentiality and what to expect in therapy.
What can I expect?
EMDR sessions are recommended to be 90 minute appointments.
