EMDR

At Core Psychology, we offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a highly effective evidence-based treatment for processing experiences or fears that lead to overwhelming anxiety and restoring emotional well-being. Through a structured approach that incorporates bilateral stimulation, we guide our clients towards resolving past traumas and fostering resilience for the future.

Clients can experience profound relief from symptoms such as anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts and chronic pain. By processing and integrating traumatic memories, they find they are no longer stuck in patterns of emotional paralysis, intense trigger responses, they instead develop a renewed sense emotional peace, empowerment and a greater capacity for emotional regulation.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is designed to help you process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing life events that may have disrupted your sense of self. By targeting the memories and emotions that are causing distress, EMDR helps to reduce their negative impact, allowing you to integrate these experiences in a healthier way. Many clients report feeling a significant reduction in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and describe a renewed sense of self and emotional balance after completing EMDR therapy. While individual results vary, our goal is to support you in reclaiming your well-being and helping you feel more like yourself again.

Yes, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is typically covered by insurance plans that include psychology or clinical counseling services. Since it is a recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy, most benefits plans that reimburse for mental health services will cover EMDR therapy as part of psychological treatment. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific plan, so it's always a good idea to confirm with your provider.

A single EMDR session is typically 60-90 minutes in length. For a focused traumatic experience, clients may notice improvement in 1-3 sessions. For more complex trauma or impacts of cumulative life experiences, length of treatment will be subjective to the unique client situation and could be longer in duration.
