EMDR Skills Group

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that helps you briefly focus on a traumatic memory while using left-right guided eye movement stimulation. This can reduce how strong and emotional the memory feels.

This group uses only Phases 1 and 2.

Phase 1: We learn what brought you to therapy, build trust, and look at your supports inside and outside of therapy.

Phase 2: We get ready for EMDR. We explain the steps, set clear expectations, answer questions, and practice EMDR and grounding skills each week to handle tough feelings in and out of sessions.

EMDR is a well-researched treatment for trauma and PTSD. It can also help with anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other hard experiences.
