Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a proven, evidence-based therapy designed to help you process and heal from traumatic experiences. By using bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps rewire how your brain stores painful memories, reducing their emotional impact.

We know every couple has unique needs. That’s why we offer flexible counseling sessions. While we recommend in-person sessions for the most value, we also offer virtual sessions or a combination of both, so you can choose what works best for your schedule.
An EMDR session involves bilateral stimulation, like guided eye-movements or tapping, while recalling traumatic memories, helping your brain reprocess them in a less distressing way. Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes.
Yes, EMDR is widely recognized as safe and effective for sexual trauma. Our Austin therapists ensure a gentle, trauma-informed approach.
The number of sessions varies based on your needs, but many clients see progress within 6-12 sessions.
Not always! Sometimes, we have clients that just don't enjoy the process of EMDR, and others love it and find a lot of value from it. One of the benefits of working with us is that we will use the modalities that best fit for your unique needs! If EMDR feels healing, we will continue to use it, but if you prefer other modalities, we will pivot, use a different modality, and figure it out together.
