Traumatic experiences can continue affecting the way we think, feel, behave and relate to others—even long after the event has ended.
EMDR therapy can help individuals process distressing experiences and develop healthier responses to memories that continue to cause emotional distress.
At Eudaimonia, EMDR is incorporated into an individualized, trauma-informed treatment plan based on your history, needs and goals.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured psychotherapy approach developed to help individuals process distressing memories and experiences.
Rather than simply talking about what happened, EMDR helps you work with the thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and memories associated with difficult experiences.
Treatment is paced according to your readiness and clinical needs.

We begin by understanding your history, current concerns and treatment goals.
You learn skills for emotional regulation, grounding and managing distress.
When appropriate, EMDR is used to help process targeted experiences and memories.
Treatment focuses on developing healthier beliefs, emotional responses and patterns.
The goal is not simply to remember differently.
It is to experience greater freedom in the present.
EMDR isn't automatically the right treatment for everyone.
Your initial consultation and assessment will help determine whether EMDR or another therapeutic approach is clinically appropriate.
depending upon your individual needs.
