Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

This evidence-based treatment is designed to be completed in 12 - 16 sessions (about 3 months). EMDR includes a full psychological assessment and recommendations, and follow up sessions designed to help you process and make sense of past trauma. During treatment, you'll call the trauma to mind while focusing on an external motion or sound. 

Tyson's Story

"We lost my first child in the NICU. For the next two years, I kept replaying the events that led up to seeing my son pass away.  I would try not to think about it, and then the memories would come out of nowhere. I couldn't sleep. I was having nightmares. I knew I loved my wife but I felt disconnected from her. I missed her when she was right there.

​​

I started EMDR and ... things changed. I don't understand it, but somehow I was able to talk about it all and start to let it go. I was still scared when we got pregnant again - so scared! But if I hadn't come in and done the work to mourn my first child - there is no way I would have been able to open up to another pregnancy, or to feel the incredible joy I feel now that my second child is here."
