Trauma Therapy
Is Trauma From Your Past Compromising Your Quality Of Life?
Have you carried certain unhealthy habits throughout your life, affecting your health, work, and relationships? Yet, no matter what you do, does it feel impossible to bypass these patterns?
Are you ready to explore your past wounds once and for all so that you can enjoy a better quality of life?
If you regularly struggle with your mental health and relationships, you may be living with unresolved trauma. Whether you experienced abuse as a child or recently survived a significant life-altering situation, you might find it difficult to cope and stay present. Maybe nightmares keep you up at night, or you find it difficult to relax in normal, everyday situations.
Trauma often manifests as anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues, so you may wonder if certain psychological symptoms are related to a painful experience. And feeling constantly derailed from having a peaceful, relaxed life, you’re probably tired of emotional pain and distress dictating every aspect of your existence.

In the safe, protected environment of trauma treatment at EMDR Therapy Solutions, you have a chance to resolve and neutralize old wounds. With the relief you find in counseling, you can experience a decrease in physical symptoms and the overall distress and anxiety you feel.
If Unresolved Trauma Affects Your Ability To Connect, Your Relationships Can Suffer
Unhealthy patterns don’t just impact our lives as individuals—they have a way of playing out in our closest relationships. As such, you may have noticed unresolved trauma becoming particularly problematic in your ability to make connections or be intimate with others.
Maybe you have a history of unsuccessful relationships, or perhaps you’re experiencing old setbacks among new partners. You may find it difficult to trust or become physically intimate with others, especially if you suffered sexual violence or abuse in the past. Instead of being able to process and deal with the roller coaster of emotions on a daily basis, you may find yourself sabotaging relationships, drinking, or engaging in other self-destructive behaviors.
In trauma-informed therapy, you have an opportunity to resolve the pain that you carry from your past in a lasting way. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) treatment at EMDR Therapy Solutions, you can address trauma and find relief from the obstacles it has created in your life.

What To Expect
Early on in the therapy process, we will consult with you and answer any questions to make sure you understand what EMDR looks like and how it works. We will also conduct a standard intake and perform a few assessments to clarify information about your presenting concerns and goals for therapy. If you’re curious about concentrated trauma treatment, learn more about our EMDR Intensives here.
Though we will incorporate psychoeducation about trauma’s effect on the body and its relationship to symptoms of anxiety and depression, the phases of EMDR are almost entirely nonverbal. Because it isn’t necessary to reimagine target memories or discuss all the details of your trauma with your therapist, the chances of re-traumatization are much lower.
Trauma treatment sounds expensive.
Like any therapeutic approach, EMDR is an investment. However, EMDR is a highly structured, time-limited method, which means that you experience relief much faster. As a highly effective technique, you’ll probably spend less money on EMDR than on other forms of trauma-informed therapy.
How long will I spend in counseling for my trauma?
Because EMDR gives you the chance to neutralize trauma in a short period of time—as few as one to three standard therapy sessions—you will probably spend less time in treatment than you would otherwise.
In addition, we offer EMDR Intensive sessions, which can help you resolve trauma in an even shorter period of time. Learn more about your options here.
Does EMDR clear away my memories? And will it make me feel worse?
There is a common misconception that EMDR is a fringe therapy or that the process is painful—neither are true. EMDR is a gentle therapy that will help you feel better by reprocessing stored trauma.
Though it doesn’t remove or clear your memories away, EMDR helps you create new associations with them, helping you experience fewer flashbacks, anxieties, and fears.

Is EMDR Intensive Therapy the Right Choice for You?
-
EMDR therapy addresses both the physical and psychological symptoms that arise due to adverse life experiences. Aside from helping with trauma, EMDR is also a treatment method that benefits those dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, infidelity, and betrayal.
-
EMDR intensives can shorten the length of the overall treatment process and allow you to work through the symptoms you’re experiencing faster and more effectively than normal weekly sessions. Not only do you avoid the interruption between individual 45-minute sessions, but you also bypass the time spent on checking in at the start of each weekly session or addressing any current concerns. Moreover, a single EMDR session typically focuses on coping skills and stabilization at the end of each session to help you regain composure, which is not necessary with an intensive.
-
Yes. We offer EMDR intensives in adjusted formats and modified pricing for current clients.
-
Of course! You may be aware that something still needs to change profoundly to help you shift fully into a new experience of yourself, but perhaps you’re not exactly sure how you can accomplish this with your present therapist. We will help you identify which format of treatment works best for your needs during our initial consultation.
-
Offering a number of resources, a half-day EMDR intensive can help you substantially reduce the destructive effects of a single traumatic event, such as disturbing emotions, negative cognitions, and unsettling body sensations. Please keep in mind, though, that while you can experience significant healing during one half-day EMDR intensive, Complex PTSD typically requires more time to heal than a half-day intensive can provide. Many people with Complex PTSD may need continuous monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly half-day intensives to work through their trauma history.
-
A 3-day EMDR intensive can more efficiently help you achieve impactful changes than just participating in regular weekly, 45-minute sessions or a single half-day intensive. During our initial consultation, we can identify which format would be best for your needs.
-
Depending on your insurance, you may receive help paying for the cost of psychotherapy, as some insurance companies reimburse a substantial portion of mental health treatments. We can provide you with a Superbill, detailing all direct contact therapy services that are included in the EMDR intensive program. You can then submit this bill to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
