EMDR Therapy

Personalized sessions designed to heal, process, and restore emotional well-being.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapy designed to help you heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. Using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation (such as tapping or sounds), EMDR helps your brain process painful memories in a new way.

    This approach reduces the emotional intensity of past experiences, allowing you to recall them with less distress. Over time, EMDR can help you feel more at peace, build resilience, and regain control over how you respond to difficult memories.

    EMDR is an evidence-based treatment for trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges, offering a powerful path toward healing and personal growth.

  • EMDR is for anyone who has experienced distressing or overwhelming events, including:

    ✔ PTSD & Trauma Survivors – Veterans, first responders, or those affected by accidents, violence, or assault.
    ✔ Childhood Trauma – Individuals who have experienced neglect, abuse, or early attachment wounds.
    ✔ Anxiety – Especially when linked to past experiences or unresolved trauma.
    ✔ Lingering Emotional Pain – Even if an event doesn’t seem “traumatic,” EMDR can help process unresolved emotions.
    ✔ Avoidance & Triggers – If certain places, people, or situations bring up fear or discomfort due to past experiences.
    ✔ Phobias – Specific fears (e.g., flying, heights, animals) that stem from past negative experiences.
    ✔ Grief & Loss – For those struggling to move forward after losing a loved one or experiencing major life changes.
    ✔ Low Self-Esteem – If past experiences have shaped negative beliefs about yourself.
    ✔ Performance Anxiety – Struggles with confidence in public speaking, sports, or other personal and professional goals.

  • At Aligned Mind Therapy, we are specially trained in EMDR to help you process the impact of past experiences so they no longer control your present. In therapy, we focus on:

    ✔ Processing distressing memories in a safe, structured way
    ✔ Reducing emotional triggers linked to trauma
    ✔ Reframing negative beliefs about yourself and the world
    ✔ Restoring a sense of control over your emotions and reactions
    ✔ Building coping strategies to handle stress and difficult situations

  • EMDR is structured into three stages and follows eight phases to ensure a safe, effective healing process. Each phase is designed to gradually help you process past experiences, build emotional resilience, and develop healthier responses to triggers.

Trauma Therapy

Compassionate, individualized trauma therapy to help you heal, reclaim control, and build resilience.

  • Trauma can shape the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. It doesn’t always look the way we expect, and its effects can show up in subtle or overwhelming ways.

    Common signs of trauma include:
    ✔ Flashbacks or nightmares that bring up distressing memories
    ✔ Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from yourself and others
    ✔ Being easily startled or constantly on edge
    ✔ Avoiding certain people or places that trigger painful memories
    ✔ Struggling to trust others or form close relationships
    ✔ Physical symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, or sleep issues

    If you’re unsure whether trauma is affecting your life, therapy can help you understand its impact and begin your healing journey.

  • Trauma therapy is for anyone who has experienced distressing or overwhelming events that continue to affect daily life. Whether you’re navigating PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety, or unresolved emotional pain, trauma-informed therapy can help you heal.

    This approach is especially beneficial if you feel stuck in patterns of fear, avoidance, or emotional distress related to past experiences. You don’t have to carry this alone—support is available.
