What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapeutic approach that helps resolve traumatic experiences that have had a detrimental impact on your wellbeing. EMDR harnesses the natural REM sleep cycles of the body to clear your headspace of emotional fallout from unpleasant, traumatic, or stressful events.

Based on the principle that "the body keeps the score," EMDR is highly successful in treating both small-"t" trauma (everyday stressful experiences) and big-"T" trauma (major traumatic events). Book your EMDR sessions and experience this powerful healing approach.
