EMDR THERAPY IN ORANGE COUNTY

At our practice, a team of compassionate, warm, and dedicated therapists is here to help you find relief from the debilitating grip of traumatic experiences—those “claws” that refuse to let go. We offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a bottom-up approach that harnesses your body’s natural ability to heal, enabling you to release and reprocess negative emotions and thoughts that have held you hostage. Here is a video to demonstrate and explain more in depth of what EMDR is.

By using bilateral tactile and visual stimulation, EMDR gently works with your body to free distressing memories stored deep within; in fact according to the Journal of Clinical Psychology, up to 77% of people with PTSD experience significant symptom reduction after just six sessions, and another study found that 80% of single-trauma victims treated with EMDR no longer had PTSD symptoms at a three-month follow-up. Because the body “keeps the score” of trauma, this process helps clear out “stuck” experiences that lead to constant triggers, emotional dysregulation, and persistent anxiety.

As you move through EMDR therapy, you may discover a renewed sense of calmness, more confidence in yourself, deeper connections with others, and a powerful grounding that reminds you that healing is possible. Just as your body can mend physical wounds, EMDR therapy supports the healing of emotional wounds, guiding you toward greater freedom from the weight of past traumas.
