EMDR Therapy for Individuals

EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization reprocessing, and it’s a research-based method that addresses trauma memories that are stored in the body. At the time a trauma occurs, your brain and body grab a snapshot of the sensory elements of the event, the sensations in the body, the available coping strategies at that moment, and the story you tell yourself about the event.

This can involve negative beliefs about self, like “It’s my fault”, “I’m unlovable”, “I’m not enough”, “I’m bad inside”. Usually these are beliefs our older, more resourced self can argue against intellectually, but that doesn’t seem to change how it feels when something triggers the trauma.

Normal talk therapy isn’t enough to correct this, because the memory is stored in such a way that it doesn’t connect with the logic side of your brain. So maybe you’ve tried therapy and you’re tired even thinking about having to start the process all over again. Maybe you want to try but you’re nervous you won’t see results. I understand all of those feelings and I’m here to make it feel as welcoming and seamless as possible.

I offer clients a way to resolve these trauma memories, and provide a few different ways to access treatment based on what works for you.

60 Minute Sessions

These are intended for weekly or every other week sessions to build a connection, explore your history, build resources, and process traumas slowly over time.

90 Minute Sessions

Sessions designed for weekly or every other week work for when you need a little more time to go deep and come back up for air. Great for verbal processors, people with C-PTSD, and people who appreciate a longer format for treatment so they don’t feel rushed.

$225 per 90 minutes for virtual sessions in MO

3 Hour Intensives

Intensives are designed for faster resolution and shorter term therapy work. This longer format is perfect for every other week or monthly appointments. It allows us to build connection and security, understand your history and wounding, tap into resources, and process trauma all within one session. This streamlined process cuts through the chit chat or new stressors that pop up weekly and gets right to the heart of the matter for more rapid change. It’s an investment that is deeply respected, with the goal of getting better faster.
