Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
in Charlotte, NC
What exactly is EMDR?
EMDR, short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from emotional distress caused by difficult or traumatic life experiences.
Using guided eye movements and other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows the brain to reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or disruptive. The process involves recalling distressing memories while engaging in therapeutic eye tracking, taps, or sounds to help re-evaluate these memories in a less triggering way. EMDR can provide strong and consistent outcomes in alleviating trauma-related distress and promoting recovery. Heal the past. Live the present. That’s the power of EMDR.
Relief for the weight that you’ve been carrying far too long.
You may have moments that feel like they come out of nowhere — flashbacks, panic, dissociation, or deep sadness that’s hard to explain. Or maybe you're exhausted from being in survival mode for so long. EMDR helps your brain process those stuck experiences so they no longer hold the same emotional charge. It doesn’t erase the memory — it helps you relate to it differently, with more clarity, distance, and self-compassion.
Benefits of EMDR Therapy include:
Reduction in anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms
Improved emotional regulation and self-awareness
Faster progress for some clients compared to traditional talk therapy
Effective treatment for PTSD, grief, abuse recovery, phobias, etc.
If you’re carrying the weight of painful memories, emotional overwhelm, or experiences that still feel “stuck,” you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate healing on your own. EMDR is designed to help people move through the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and more.
