EMDR Trauma Therapy
​
If you are searching for EMDR therapy, you may be dealing with anxiety, trauma symptoms, panic, or distressing memories that still feel emotionally “alive.” Many people find that even when they know the past is over, their body and nervous system continue to react as if danger is still present.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps the brain process painful experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I provide EMDR counseling in Henderson, NV to help clients reduce emotional triggers, improve stability, and move forward with greater confidence.
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR is a structured therapy developed by Francine Shapiro that helps the brain reprocess unhealed memories through bilateral stimulation, often guided eye movements similar to those in REM sleep. Over time, distressing memories typically lose their emotional intensity and become easier to recall without anxiety, panic, or shutdown. However, some memories remain unprocessed and activated. EMDR can help with these and other PTSD symptoms. Research indicates that EMDR is a highly effective approach. Many clients describe EMDR as helping them feel calmer, more grounded, and less reactive.
What EMDR Therapy Can Help With
EMDR is widely used for trauma and PTSD, but it can also help with:
-
PTSD and trauma symptoms
-
Childhood trauma and neglect
-
Anxiety and panic attacks
-
Depression and emotional numbness
-
Grief and complicated loss
-
Phobias
-
Stress and overwhelm
-
Negative self-beliefs and low self-esteem
-
Relationship triggers connected to past experiences
If you are experiencing intrusive memories, emotional flashbacks, hypervigilance, or persistent anxiety, EMDR may be an effective treatment option.
What to Expect in EMDR Sessions
EMDR therapy begins with assessment and preparation to ensure you feel stable and supported. Once you are ready, we identify a specific memory or emotional trigger and use bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or audio tones) to help your brain naturally process the experience.
You remain awake, alert, and in control throughout the session. EMDR is not hypnosis, and you can pause at any time.
