Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy that helps your brain process difficult or traumatic experiences so they don’t feel as intense or overwhelming. During EMDR, your therapist guides you to focus on certain memories while using gentle left‑right stimulation (like eye movements, tapping, or sounds). This helps your brain “unstick” the memory and file it away in a calmer, more manageable way.
Q: Is EMDR safe?
Yes, when conducted by a trained therapist, EMDR is considered safe. Sessions are structured, and your therapist prepares coping tools to manage distress. While temporary emotional or physical reactions can occur, these are typically mild, short-lived, and part of the natural healing process.
Q: What will my first EMDR therapy session look like?
In your first EMDR session, your therapist builds safety, explains the process, identifies targets, and may gently introduce bilateral stimulation at your pace. To learn more, visit our blog post entitled "What to Expect During Your First EMDR Session".
Q: How will I know if EMDR is working?
Clients often notice reduced distress when recalling past memories, calmer emotional responses, improved sleep, and less anxiety over triggers. Progress may be gradual, but your therapist will track changes and adjust the approach to help you achieve meaningful, lasting results.
Q: What issues can EMDR help with?
EMDR is most often used for trauma, PTSD, and distressing memories. It can also help with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, grief, and emotional triggers. The therapy works by reducing the emotional charge of memories, enabling healthier emotional responses and coping strategies.
Q: What is the fee for an EMDR therapy session?
A 50-minute session is $155.
