What does EMDR help with?
How is EMDR therapy different from other therapies?
EMDR therapy does not always require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions. EMDR therapy, rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, allows the brain to resume its natural healing process. EMDR therapy is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies.

Is EMDR recognized as treatment that works?
YES! EMDR is an evidenced-based (scientifically proven) effective treatment for all ages. As a play therapist, I also incorporate play therapy with EMDR for children and sometimes teens.
