Unlock healing with EMDR - trauma treatment experts in action

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly effective and evidence based approach to treating trauma of all kinds - ranging from a single incident trauma such as a car accident, medical challenges, traumatic loss, or birth trauma to more complex or chronic relational trauma, such as childhood abuse or neglect. We also support vicarious trauma survivors such as physicians, nurses, first responders and other therapists.


Complex PTSD support may include working through things such as emotional or physical neglect, having grown up in an environment that did not feel safe, affirming or stable, or experiencing challenges that endured in relationships over a long period of time.


Kara and Erin are both trained in EMDR through The Touchstone Institute, while Kristen, Alison and Gabrielle are all trained in EMDR through The Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy. All EMDR trained providers are certified or pursuing advanced training and have varying areas of specialization.

Common questions about trauma therapy with EMDR

  • How long does EMDR therapy typically take to see results?

    The time frame varies per individual. Some people experience relief after just a few sessions, while others may need more time depending on the complexity of their trauma.

  • Is EMDR therapy safe?

    Yes, EMDR is considered safe. It's a non-invasive therapy with minimal side effects. However, recalling traumatic events can be emotionally challenging, and the therapist is trained to guide you safely through this process.

  • What happens in an EMDR therapy session?

    In an EMDR session, you'll focus on a specific traumatic memory while the therapist directs your eye movements. This process helps reduce the emotional impact of the memory over time.

  • Do I have to talk in detail about my trauma in EMDR therapy?

    EMDR does not require you to talk in detail about your trauma like in traditional talk therapy. The focus is more on the emotions and bodily sensations associated with the traumatic memory.

  • How can I tell if EMDR therapy is right for me?

    EMDR is suitable for many, but not all. It's best to consult with a therapist who can assess your specific situation and determine if EMDR is an appropriate treatment for your trauma.
