Trauma Modalities
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life events. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (often eye movements, tapping, or sounds) to help the brain process and release memories that feel “stuck.”
Trauma can cause the brain to store memories in a way that keeps us reliving them — emotionally, physically, and mentally. EMDR helps reprocess those memories so they lose their emotional charge, allowing you to move forward without being held back by the past.
Many people find relief from symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, negative self-beliefs, and emotional overwhelm after EMDR treatment.
Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a specialized, evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related symptoms. It helps you understand how trauma has affected the way you think about yourself, others, and the world — and how those thoughts might be keeping you stuck in pain, fear, or shame.
In CPT, we work together to gently explore your beliefs and thought patterns that developed after trauma. You’ll learn skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts, gain new perspective, and begin to loosen the grip trauma has on your daily life.
If trauma has led you to believe things like “I’m not safe,” “I can’t trust anyone,” or “It was my fault,” CPT can help you rewrite those narratives with truth, self-compassion, and clarity.
