EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
EMDR helps the brain process distressing memories and experiences that may continue to affect thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through bilateral stimulation, clients can often reduce the emotional intensity connected to difficult experiences while building healthier beliefs about themselves.
EMDR may help with:
-
Trauma and PTSD
-
Anxiety
-
Negative self-beliefs
-
Childhood experiences
-
Attachment wounds
ART
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
ART is a brief, evidence-based approach that uses eye movements and guided visualization to help reduce distress associated with difficult memories and experiences.
Many clients appreciate ART because it often allows them to process painful experiences without discussing every detail.
ART may help with:
-
Specific traumatic events
-
Anxiety and panic
-
Grief and loss
-
Phobias
-
Distressing memories
Neurofeedback
Infra-Low Frequency
Synchrony
Alpha-Theta
Trauma can affect the brain's ability to regulate stress, emotions, and attention. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive approach that helps the brain develop healthier patterns of regulation, often reducing symptoms of anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional reactivity, and sleep difficulties.
Many clients choose to combine neurofeedback with EMDR or ART to support deeper healing and improve their capacity to engage in trauma processing.
Neurofeedback may help with:
-
Trauma recovery
-
Anxiety and stress
-
Sleep difficulties
-
Emotional regulation
-
Focus and concentration
-
Nervous system resilience

Is Trauma Therapy Right For Me?
You may benefit from trauma-focused therapy if you find yourself answering "yes" to any of the following:
Do certain memories, experiences, or life events still feel emotionally overwhelming when you think about them?
Do you find yourself feeling constantly on edge, anxious, or stuck in survival mode?
Do strong emotional reactions sometimes seem to come out of nowhere or feel difficult to control?
Do past experiences continue to impact your relationships, self-confidence, or ability to trust others?
Have you done therapy before but still feel like some wounds remain unresolved?
Do you want to feel more present, regulated, and free from the weight of the past?
You Don't Have to Carry It Alone

Why do we like EMDR and ART?
"I have been using EMDR and ART for the majority of my clients for a few years now and I can see the differences it can make. When working with clients these therapies give them more tools, and the confidence they will be able to work through things. Just the confidence alone is priceless!"
-Hailey Maire-Grant LCSW
"I started looking into ART when I noticed clients in session had a difficult time “sitting with” really strong emotions. It’s amazing to see how ART helps calm the nervous system so quickly and helps people to actually face emotions. I’ve also loved hearing the positive realizations and feeling of “lightness” people have from ART sessions."
-Sydney Daniels, ACMHC
"ART helps your mind let go of the emotional intensity tied to hard or traumatic memories without needing to re-tell every detail. Clients often say they feel lighter, calmer, and more in control after just a few sessions. It’s one of the fastest tools I’ve seen for helping the nervous system finally relax around painful memories without the need to describe them in great detail."
-Summer Hibbard, ACMHC
