EMDR Therapy Session- 50 Min

EMDR therapy, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a helpful way to deal with traumatic memories and lessen stress. It uses an 8-phase process where clients think about painful experiences while following guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. EMDR therapy can ease trauma symptoms and change negative beliefs, making EMDR an excellent choice for empowering individuals.

EMDR Intensive Session- 2 to 4 hours

$150 per hour

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) intensive sessions offer powerful and transformative experiences that are specifically designed for processing distressing memories and challenging emotions in a notably quick manner. During these sessions, clients engage in focused and concentrated work over the course of several hours, allowing them to explore deeply and integrate their traumatic experiences in a supportive environment. Guided through various bilateral stimulation techniques—such as rhythmic eye movements or gentle tactile taps—clients are able to recall their most distressing incidents. This process effectively helps to rewire their trauma responses, promoting significant healing, improved emotional regulation, and a sense of relief. By the end of the intensive sessions, clients typically report feeling equipped with essential new emotional tools to navigate their lives with greater confidence.

Therapy for bipolar disorder is crucial for managing the condition and improving well-being. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychoeducation help individuals identify negative thoughts and create coping strategies. Therapy provides a supportive environment for expressing emotions, tackling challenges, and building resilience. A strong therapist-client relationship encourages clients to participate in treatment, stay stable, and enhance their quality of life, promoting personal growth and better relationships.
