Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR-therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma and other mental health issues.

Whether a single incident or a series of episodes over the course of a lifetime, EMDR therapy can help resolve symptoms from trauma, often in a shorter amount of sessions when compared to traditional talk-based therapy.

What makes EMDR so groundbreaking is it utilizes the mind's own capacity for self-healing by tapping into the same processes associated with REM-sleep, thereby allowing you to quickly reprocess and reformulate your relationship with the traumatic episode.

EMDR has also been seen to be promising for the treatment of phobias, somatic disorders, anxiety and panic, and addiction.
