As close to magic as it gets
EMDR can be done both in-person or virtually. EMDR uses Bilateral Dual Attention Stimulation to improve one's core beliefs about the self, world, and other people. Various EMDR protocols are used in targeting a variety of conditions including depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, addiction, attachment and relationship difficulties. EMDR is an 8-phase protocol with each phase progressing towards increased inner peace. EMDR is covered by insurance under regular psychotherapy billing.

EMDR Skills Groups
Prior to beginning EMDR Bilateral Dual Attention Stimulation Reprocessing, clients must complete 5 EMDR resourcing skills presented over 5 groups. These can be attained in individual or group therapy and are helpful even without continuing EMDR. Even if individuals complete 5 skills groups, individual sessions are required to ensure readiness to move into EMDR Phase IV.
