EMDR Therapy
Evidence-based approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing distress
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro. It helps individuals process disturbing memories that are the foundation of trauma and other mental health issues.
EMDR therapy doesn’t require talking in detail about the distressing issue. Instead, it focuses on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing experience, allowing natural healing to occur.
