EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
At Liminal Psychotherapy, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as a powerful tool for healing trauma, emotional wounds, and anxiety.
As a trauma-informed practice, every part of the therapy process is grounded in safety, trust, and collaboration. EMDR here is never rushed or one-size-fits-all. It’s guided by your nervous system’s readiness and paced to help you stay connected and in control as you heal.
EMDR might be a good fit if you experience:
You feel stuck in negative patterns or behaviors
If you often find yourself in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional avoidance, EMDR can help break these patterns and foster healthier, more adaptive coping mechanisms.You experience chronic anxiety or stress
EMDR has been shown to reduce symptoms of generalized anxiety, trauma-related stress, and panic, offering long-term relief and emotional regulation.You have difficulty processing or talking about painful memories
If talking through your pain feels overwhelming or unproductive, EMDR provides a gentle, non-verbal approach to processing difficult memories without re-traumatizing you.You want to improve your relationships
Past trauma often influences how we show up in relationships. EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity of past wounds, allowing you to foster deeper, more authentic connections.You experience persistent feelings of guilt, shame, or unworthiness
EMDR is effective in transforming negative core beliefs formed through emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse, or other forms of relational trauma.You’re seeking a trauma-informed, holistic approach to healing
At Liminal Psychotherapy, I integrate EMDR with other trauma-informed modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic therapy to address the full range of your emotional needs.

EMDR works by facilitating the brain's natural processing system, which can be disrupted by trauma. A trained EMDR therapist uses targeted bilateral stimulation to activate your brain’s information processing networks so it can reprocess, or reorganize, distressing memories, reducing the emotional charge and helping you integrate them in a healthy way.
Studies have shown that EMDR can significantly reduce symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression by activating neural pathways involved in memory processing, improving emotional regulation, and fostering new, adaptive beliefs.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I tailor EMDR to meet your unique needs. I use auditory (headphones) and tactile (hand pulsers) as bilateral stimulation which helps the brain reprocess disturbing or unresolved experiences as we follow our target plan.
This process can reduce the distressing emotional and physiological responses associated with past events, and help individuals gain new insights, clarity, and emotional resolution.
I integrate EMDR with other therapeutic modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic techniques to create a integrated approach that supports long-term emotional resilience and self-regulation.

EMDR offers a scientifically validated path to healing, helping you break free from the emotional patterns caused by past trauma and attachment injuries - providing you with a sense of relief in your body & control over your emotional reactivity.
