Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a cutting-edge approach that combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with bilateral stimulation to help individuals process and resolve traumatic experiences.  

This evidence-based therapy is particularly effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as other anxiety and mood disorders.  

Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.  

Understanding the Impact of Trauma and Stress

Trauma and stressor-related disorders, including PTSD, can have profound effects on a person's well-being. Symptoms can manifest in various ways, including intrusive thoughts, nightmares, avoidance of reminders of the traumatic event, and heightened arousal responses. These symptoms can disrupt daily life, impairing one's ability to work, maintain relationships, or enjoy once-loved activities. It's critical to seek professional help in these situations. We can help.

How Does EMDR Therapy Work?

Each person's journey to healing is unique, so our EMDR therapy sessions are tailored to meet your needs and goals, ensuring personalized care and support at every step.  

During an EMDR session, our skilled therapists guide you through bilateral stimulation exercises, which may include eye movements, taps, or sounds. These bilateral stimulations help to activate the brain's natural healing processes, allowing you to reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. 

Therapists for EMDR  

Our licensed therapists are trained in EMDR therapy and have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma. With a commitment to ongoing professional development, we stay abreast of the latest research and techniques in trauma treatment.  

Along with Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR is a tailored trauma treatment utilized at Nobile Psychology. 

Overall, the research supports the effectiveness of EMDR as a therapy for trauma and related disorders. However, it's essential to note that individual responses to therapy can vary, and not everyone may benefit from EMDR in the same way. As with any treatment, it's crucial to work with a qualified therapist who can tailor the approach to meet your specific needs and circumstances, aligning the correct treatment to your specific experience.
