Using a combination of strengths-based EMDR therapy and Parts Work, you’ll learn to love yourself enough to finally shed your façade of perfection.
You spend hours decorating cupcakes for your daughter’s class, so the other parents think you’re a great mom. You endlessly obsess over projects at work to prove yourself a valuable employee. Being the perfect friend means saying yes to favors you don’t have time for. The perfect wife is always supportive, even when you don’t feel supported yourself. And yet still, that inner voice tells you you’re not doing enough. Somehow, you’re fooling everyone into thinking you have it together. Nobody knows that inside, you’re falling apart. It’s so isolating to live this lie, but you’re too scared to let anyone know you’re struggling.

Through EMDR therapy, we can address trauma, anxiety, or phobias in a way that keeps you completely in the drivers seat and allows your brain to do what it needs to do to process through stuck memories, emotions, physical sensations, and negative beliefs.
When trauma goes untreated, we can become triggered in our everyday life, struggle with negative beliefs about ourselves, and can start feeling overwhelmed and stuck. We can even end up with physical pain, issues with sleep, feeling completely shut down, or always on edge. Trauma is not something we can always talk our way out of and you might find yourself actively avoiding talking about what you went through or feeling like talking about it isn't helping you feel better.

EMDR Therapists

Who is EMDR for?

EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?

People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?

First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?

First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
