EMDR Therapy in Rockville, Maryland

EMDR therapy is a powerful evidence-based therapy for helping folks to heal from trauma. Traditional talk therapy is not usually the approach of choice for trauma-and EMDR therapy can truly lead to powerful results and healing from trauma related symptoms. In addition to providing EMDR for trauma and PTSD, it can also be helpful in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
EMDR therapy is a three pronged approach. This means that it will target past events, current concerns, and future triggers. Using this approach can help your brain process
memories of trauma and make new connections to help you get unstuck.
As an approach, EMDR therapy targets memories by turning on both sides of the brain. Oftentimes when someone experiences trauma or nervous system dysregulation, the two different brain hemispheres (the left brain hemisphere and the right brain hemisphere) have trouble communicating.
In EMDR therapy, you are empowered to go at a pace that feels best for you, and as trauma informed therapists we will never push you to share anything that you do not feel ready to process.
You do not have to continue to live struggling with the aftermath of trauma and related symptoms. Feeling like you are simply existing in survival mode is exhausting. Healing is possible. EMDR therapy is a powerful treatment that can help.
