ADHD & Neurodivergent Counseling in Austin, TX
EMDR Therapy in Austin, TX
Sometimes an experience is over, but your mind and body still react as though it's happening now. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by painful beliefs about yourself.
EMDR therapy can help you process distressing experiences so they feel less intense and have less influence over your present life.
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's a therapy approach that uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or alternating tapping, to help the brain process distressing experiences.
You remain present and in control throughout the process. You don't need to describe every detail of what happened, and you can pause at any time.
EMDR May Help With
EMDR may help you process experiences and emotions related to:
Trauma and painful memories
Anxiety and emotional triggers
Shame, guilt, or self-criticism
Rejection and bullying
Feeling unsafe or powerless
Negative beliefs such as "I am not good enough"
What Does EMDR Therapy Look Like?
We begin by discussing your concerns, creating a treatment plan, and developing skills to help you feel grounded and prepared.
Therapy moves at your pace. I may combine EMDR with talk therapy, mindfulness, parts work, and schema therapy based on your needs.
