Start EMDR therapy
Your journey towards healing is guided with compassion and care.
If you’ve experienced trauma or distressing events that still affect your day-to-day life, you’re not alone, and healing is possible.
Our team will help guide you towards understanding, release, and renewal.
How EMDR works
EMDR therapy is a proven, evidence-based approach that helps you work through those memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming.
What will I experience with EMDR therapy
Preparing with understanding
Your first sessions will prepare you for therapy and support you to uncover the tools you might already have, and explore what you add to your toolbox.
Reprocess painful memories safely
With your therapist’s guidance, you’ll revisit experiences in a secure, supported environment.
Engage your brain’s natural healing process
Through gentle bilateral stimulation (like eye movements, sounds, or taps), help your brain reprocess difficult memories.
Reduce emotional intensity
Over time, distressing memories lose their vividness and emotional charge, creating space for calm and balance.
Build relief and resolution
As your brain integrates new, positive information, you may notice a greater sense of clarity, peace, and self-trust.
Heal at your own pace
EMDR sessions are grounded in safety, compassion, and collaboration. You’re always in control of the process.
What’s the right approach for you?
Guided and structured reprocessing
Use gentle, guided techniques, such as eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, to help your brain reprocess memories and restore balance.
Mind–body release
Structured practice that focuses on helping your mind and body release the lingering effects of past experiences.
Open exploration
