What is EMDR?

 This 90-minute session will usually be scheduled a week or two prior to your intensive sessions. During this session, your therapist will review your responses in the workbook and collaborate with you to develop a specific treatment plan tailored to your needs. 

We will also talk more in depth about your relevant history, relationships, and therapeutic goals.  

 During processing sessions, your psychologist will facilitate a number of different trauma-informed exercises related to your treatment plan. Unlike traditional therapy sessions that usually focuses on “talk therapy”, these sessions will will involve recalling difficult memories while simultaneously receiving forms of bilateral stimulation (eye movements, use of handheld tappers, etc.). 

In addition to EMDR, your therapist may also utilize a number of other modalities including Internal Family Systems (“parts work”), expressive arts, and Somatic-based therapy.
