Your brain knows
how to heal itself.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps you process trauma, rewire painful memories, and move forward — without having to relive every detail.
I'm Ready to Try EMDRReprocessing trauma attached to negative beliefs
EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy used to relieve symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, and many other mental health concerns. It uses rapid bilateral eye movements or bilateral tapping to help you process traumatic memories and adverse life experiences — rewiring your brain toward more adaptive beliefs and associations.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require you to retell your trauma in detail or complete homework between sessions.
Both sides of your brain, working together
The bilateral movements in EMDR — whether eye movements or tapping — help integrate both hemispheres of your brain while you process difficult experiences. This enhances communication within your brain's networks, helping to desensitize painful memories and reprocess them into something you can hold without distress.
Shae Ivie-Williams is trained in EMDR and integrates it alongside IFS and Somatic Experiencing for deeper, more embodied healing.
Of single-trauma victims showed full PTSD remission after just three 90-minute EMDR sessions in controlled studies.
In a Kaiser Permanente-funded study, 100% of single-trauma and 77% of multiple-trauma victims were PTSD-free after just six 50-minute sessions.
Of combat veterans were free of PTSD after 12 EMDR sessions — one of the most challenging trauma presentations to treat. (Source: emdr.com)
History & Preparation
Your therapist will take time to understand your history, identify target memories or beliefs, and build a foundation of safety and resourcing before any reprocessing begins.
Desensitization
Using bilateral stimulation — eye movements or tapping — you'll bring up a target memory while your therapist guides you through sets of movement. The memory gradually loses its emotional charge.
Installation & Integration
Positive, adaptive beliefs are installed in place of the painful ones. Your brain's networks are rewired — and you leave with the memory intact but no longer holding you back.
Trauma & PTSD
Single-incident and complex, developmental, or childhood trauma.
Anxiety
Chronic worry, panic attacks, and anxiety rooted in past experiences.
Depression
Low mood and hopelessness tied to unprocessed memories or beliefs.
Adverse Life Experiences
Difficult events that continue to affect how you feel and function today.
Negative Self-Beliefs
"I'm not safe," "I'm not enough," "It was my fault" — core beliefs that hold you back.
Life Stressors & More
Grief, relationship wounds, identity, and any experience leaving a painful imprint.
