EMDR Therapy

Does It Feel Like Unresolved Trauma Is Still Holding You Back?

Life can feel overwhelming when it seems like the past refuses to stay in the past.

Maybe you or your partner recently had a baby, and parts of the experience were unexpectedly scary. Or perhaps old wounds—ones you thought you had already worked through—keep resurfacing, disrupting your sense of safety and stability.

You may find yourself feeling stuck, frozen, or easily triggered, weighed down by frustration and helplessness. You’ve tried talk therapy, but no matter how much effort you put in, you’re just not seeing the results you hoped for, leaving you feeling discouraged.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a powerful, research-backed approach that helps process distressing memories and events that have become “stuck” in your brain. When traumatic experiences remain unprocessed, they continue to cause distress, leading to symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and emotional reactivity.

EMDR unlocks your brain’s natural healing process, bringing relief and a sense of peace. Well Parent Therapy is here to guide you through this transformative journey—helping you move beyond the past and into a future of healing and clarity.

How EMDR Therapy Works

This modality is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain process and heal from traumatic experiences. During a typical session, clients focus on a distressing memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation (BLS)—such as eye movements, tones, or gentle tapping—which activates the brain’s natural ability to reprocess and integrate traumatic memories.

This process allows painful experiences to be resolved in a healthier, more adaptive way, reducing emotional distress and negative symptoms over time. One of the most powerful aspects of EMDR is that clients do not have to relive or verbally recount every detail of their trauma for healing to take place. Instead, the therapy works at a neurological level to help rewire the brain’s response, fostering relief, resilience, and lasting change.

At Well Parent Therapy, I use EMDR to treat:

  • Birth trauma

  • Pregnancy or infant loss

  • NICU stays

  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Childhood trauma

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Survivors of violence and abuse

  • Traumatic loss and grief

Several peer-reviewed research studies and meta-analyses have shown that EMDR is highly effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD and trauma. EMDR is recommended by leading health organizations, including the American Psychological Association (APA), World Health Organization (WHO), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), as a frontline treatment for PTSD and trauma.

Years of Weekly Therapy Is Not the Only Option To Healing Trauma

With EMDR, you can:

  • Process unresolved trauma so you can be more mindful and fully live in the present

  • Reduce anxiety, doubt, and insecurity

  • Experience rapid symptom relief with long-lasting effects

  • Feel more secure in your relationships

  • Improve your self-esteem and confidence

The reason I appreciate EMDR therapy so much is its flexibility and deeply transformative outcomes. My approach is rooted in the belief that you already have the wisdom and strength needed for healing—EMDR simply helps you tap into it.

Your trauma does not have to define your thoughts, feelings, behaviors or your life any longer. This form of therapy can be truly life-changing, offering you the freedom and peace you deserve.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR can offer more effective results at a faster pace by directly targeting how traumatic memories are stored in the brain. Rather than relying solely on talk therapy, EMDR provides a less invasive and more manageable experience.

By reprocessing traumatic memories, EMDR reduces their emotional charge and shifts the negative beliefs attached to them, allowing you to see the past with renewed clarity and experience relief in a short period of time.

The Inspiration and Restorative Qualities of EMDR Therapy

EMDR has been at the heart of my practice since the very beginning.

I was specifically trained in this impactful modality because of its proven effectiveness, especially for those experiencing challenges along their reproductive journey. I received specialized training from an EMDRIA-approved trainer to ensure the care I provide my clients is of the highest standard.

I’ve seen firsthand how life-changing EMDR therapy can be—not just for me, but for so many of my clients. One of the things I love most about it is how quickly it creates real, lasting change without requiring you to relive every single painful detail.

What truly resonates with me is how EMDR taps into your brain’s natural ability to heal—something I deeply believe in. My philosophy is that every person has an innate wisdom and an orientation toward wellness; sometimes, we just need the right tools to unlock it. EMDR does exactly that by helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a sense of peace.
