EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an advanced modality for healing from past traumas and emotional distress by helping you process and release the emotional charge associated with past experiences.

If you’ve struggled with negative emotions, disturbing memories, or the lingering effects of difficult experiences, EMDR therapy can be a transformative tool for moving forward.

EMDR is perfect for those struggling with, but not limited to:

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Anxiety

• Phobias
• Panic attacks
• Dissociation
