EMDR Therapy in Austin, Texas

It depends on who you see, but our EMDR sessions start at $150/session.

Fifty minutes. Usually once a week, sometimes every other week if that fits better. The first few are preparation: resourcing and making sure you can stay grounded, not jumping into memory work. How many sessions the processing itself takes is something we talk through on the consultation, not a number we put on the page.

It depends on what you're bringing, and a number before we meet you would be a guess. A single event and a long history are different amounts of work. That's the conversation on the consultation. An intensive exists partly because some people would rather compress it.

Not in the way people usually fear. EMDR works on how a memory is held rather than requiring you to narrate it from the beginning, and the early sessions are about regulating rather than detail. How much you say, and when, stays yours.

Different for everyone, and not like telling the story from the beginning. You're awake, present, and in the room. Eye movements, tapping, or sound while a memory is in mind. Some people feel it in the body. Some feel tired after. Early sessions are about making sure you can stay grounded, so you're not dropped into something you can't come back from.

Talk therapy works with what you can say. EMDR works with how a memory is stored, including in the body. You don't have to narrate it start to finish. We still talk. The processing is not only a conversation. Sometimes talking it through is enough, and that's fine. EMDR can sit alongside talk therapy, or on its own.

No. The first sessions are history and preparation. We build enough resourcing that processing is something you choose, not something you get rushed into. If a different pace fits better, we say so.

No. You're awake. You can stop. Nobody is taking over. If something feels like too much, you say so.

Cassi is an EMDR-trained clinician. That's already how we describe her work here. The consultation is twenty free minutes to ask how she trained, who she works with, and whether this method fits what you're carrying. If you want a national directory to look at as well, EMDRIA keeps one. We would rather you ask us directly than try to decode a credential page alone.

Same EMDR, in longer blocks instead of an hour a week. Six hours across three sessions. $750 for the package. In person at 1609 Shoal Creek Blvd, Suite 301, Central Austin, across from Pease Park, or virtually anywhere in Texas. Intensives can start as early as next week. A free twenty-minute consult first, so we can say honestly whether that pace is a fit. If weekly is better, that's still here.

We do not bill insurance. Cash-pay, superbills. Out-of-network benefits get checked by hand before you commit. Plenty of plans reimburse part of the cost of an out-of-network therapist. We will not promise that yours does.

No. EMDR is one of several evidence-based approaches we use, and it's not the right fit for everyone or every kind of trauma. Depending on what you're working through, your therapist might also draw on talk therapy, somatic and polyvagal-informed approaches, or other trauma-focused methods. What matters most is finding what actually fits you, not fitting you into one method.

Yes. EMDR adapts well to telehealth: bilateral stimulation can be done through guided eye movements on screen, tapping, or audio tones through headphones, and it's just as effective as in-person for most clients. Your therapist will help you figure out what setup works best for you, and if virtual doesn't end up being the right fit, in-person is always an option too.

That's no problem. We are happy to pivot; whether that's a different kind of therapy with the same clinician, or helping you get connected to a different clinician who better suits your needs.

Appointments Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm, in person in Central Austin (across from Pease Park) or virtually across Texas. Weekends are sometimes available, so please ask if that works better for you.

Say so on the consultation call. Some clinicians on the team are working under supervision toward full licensure and see clients at a reduced rate. It's a normal thing to ask about, not an awkward one.
