Heal from Trauma and Distress with EMDR Therapy

Are painful memories, trauma, or anxiety holding you back? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a proven, effective therapy that helps you process and heal from distressing experiences. At Summit Counseling Center, our certified EMDR therapists guide you through this gentle, evidence-based approach to restore emotional balance and resilience.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR therapy uses guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. This therapy is highly effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other emotional difficulties that stem from past distressing events.

What to Expect in EMDR Therapy

During EMDR sessions, your therapist will:

  • Help you safely recall traumatic memories while guiding bilateral stimulation
  • Assist your brain in reprocessing and reducing the emotional charge
  • Teach coping skills to manage distressing feelings
  • Work collaboratively to set goals and pace the therapy to your comfort
  • Provide a supportive, empathetic environment for healing

EMDR is gentle and tailored to your readiness and needs.
