What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process difficult experiences so they feel less emotionally charged in the present. Instead of endlessly retelling painful memories, EMDR helps shift how those experiences are stored and experienced by the nervous system.

EMDR can be helpful for experiences that continue to feel emotionally overwhelming, triggering, or difficult to move past. Together, we’ll get curious about what’s keeping you stuck—and what helps you move forward.
