What is EMDR and How Does it Work?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that helps your brain and body heal from painful or overwhelming experiences. It’s especially helpful if you’re dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, flashbacks, nightmares, or a constant sense of being on edge.

Instead of just talking through what happened, EMDR uses a structured 8 phase process, including eye movements or tapping, to help you reprocess distressing memories and shift the beliefs that came from them. Over time, the memories lose their emotional charge, and you may feel more grounded, calm, and in control of your reactions. Learn more about EMDR here.

Online EMDR for Women In Haverford, PA

I work with women and LGBTQIA+ clients from Haverford, PA who feel on-edge, anxious, shut down, or stuck in patterns they can’t explain. Online EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain and body process what’s been too much to handle in the past. Many people find that online EMDR therapy is convenient, and allows them to access therapy from the comfort of their own home. Instead of a physical office space, I can see clients online across the state of Pennsylvania, which gives client’s flexibility of where they want to hold their sessions. One day you might want to have your session on your porch in the sunshine, and the next week under a blanket, all cozy with a pet.
