Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Releasing the hold of trauma and distressing memories

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Defined

EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy for processing and resolving trauma or other deeply distressing experiences. Often, traumatic events can become “stuck” in the mind, causing intense emotional reactions, flashbacks, or avoidance behaviors. EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories so that they lose their intense emotional charge and feel less disruptive in your daily life.

How does EMDR help?

EMDR is effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as anxiety, depression, phobias, grief, and other challenges rooted in painful or unresolved experiences. By processing these memories, EMDR can bring a profound sense of relief and closure, helping you move forward with more peace and resilience.

What to expect with EMDR

In an EMDR session, we’ll begin by identifying memories or experiences that cause you distress. Using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, sounds, or taps), you’ll revisit these memories in a structured, supportive way. The brain’s natural healing process allows you to reframe and release the emotional hold these memories have on you. Throughout the session, I’ll guide you, ensuring you feel safe and supported as you process these experiences. EMDR often brings rapid relief, allowing many clients to feel a reduction in symptoms and distress within a few sessions.

“From our very first session, I felt heard, understood, and supported in a way I hadn't experienced before.”
As a 30-year-old navigating the challenges of adulthood, I was feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressures of balancing work, relationships, and personal growth. Working with Alejandra was a truly transformative experience. Her empathetic and non-judgmental approach created a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions. Through our sessions, I’ve learned practical tools to manage my anxiety, set healthy boundaries, and build a more positive relationship with myself. I’m incredibly grateful for the progress I’ve made!
