What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that helps your brain and body process painful memories that still feel stuck. While you briefly bring a memory to mind, we guide you through bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements or gentle alternating taps. Over time, the memory remains, but its emotional charge softens, so it no longer hijacks your present.

EMDR is recommended as a first-line treatment for PTSD by the World Health Organization and the U.S. Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense. You don’t have to retell every detail of your story for it to work, and we never begin processing a memory until you feel prepared and grounded. If you’re considering EMDR therapy in Houston, a free consultation is a gentle place to start. All sessions are held online via secure telehealth.

Specialized Focus

We are comfortable and experienced in holding space for traumas that many feel the need to hide, including: Religious or Spiritual Trauma, Sexual Trauma, Burnout, Systemic Stress in Healthcare/Medical Fields, and various forms of relational trauma such as domestic violence or growing up in a home with addiction.
