EMDR Therapy

Helping teens, young adults, and adults with traumatic and distressing life events to heal.

Life's challenges can feel dark, heavy, or even impossible to deal with.

Most people who start EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) feel trapped in a life they don't love. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you don't look forward to much or your days start to blur together.

Stuck in negativity and feeling hopeless, you may feel like life is exhausting.

Do You Feel Numb, Scared, Guilty?

Do any of the following resonate with you?

• You fight all the time with your partner.

• You feel like you lack motivation to do anything.

• You are in a constant state of panic and it rules your life.

• You feel dread, fear, strange thoughts, and a pounding heart.

• You feel fear stricken, even in the "comfort" of your own home.

• You cannot stop thinking about the traumatic events

If these sound true for you, we want you to know that even though you may feel alone, know that many people in your circumstances need support considering the many challenges you are facing.

Even if you don't believe you deserve care, you do. You deserve to take care of yourself.

It’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could...

• Really feel joy.

• Shift into a more positive and hopeful outlook on life.

How EMDR Therapy Works

EMDR Therapy is one of the most effective and researched treatments for trauma and distressing events for survivors. EMDR takes a focused approach by reprocessing the images, emotions, and thoughts about traumatic and distressing life events in a safe way. EMDR allows clients to experience healing as the brain finds adaptive resolution to emotions and sensations that are experienced after a traumatic or distressing life event. 

EMDR therapy is not like traditional talk therapy. EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation that allows the client to re-experience the memory of a trauma or distressing event in the safety of the therapist’s office. 

EMDR Therapy at Be Still Counseling and Consulting consists of 60-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your trauma and distressing life events. In addition to listening, your therapist will share what the science tells us about what's going on for you and help you guide you through making a plan to heal from trauma and distressing life events. They play an active role. Here’s how it will work step-by-step:

1. First, your therapist will provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your struggles with them.

2. Through hearing your story, your therapist will start to get a picture of what your challenges are.

3. You will also work together to discover what your goals are in therapy and in life.

4. Keeping your unique goals in mind, you’ll figure out what’s needed to help you reach them.

5. Over the course of your sessions, you will start making progress towards the life you desire.

Research shows that EMDR Therapy can positively change your thinking, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. It can help you let go of what’s holding you back.
