EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing  

EMDR

The EMDR International Association definition of EMDR is as follows:

“Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method of psychotherapy that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma.”

As a practicing psychotherapist since 1990, I am convinced that EMDR is the most effective form of therapy for helping people resolve traumatic experiences.

While trauma is typically associated with experiences such as rape, war, natural disasters, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), it also applies to other negative experiences an individual isn't able to resolve. These experiences might include events such as:

physical, emotional or sexual abuse

panic attacks
a divorce or relationship breakup
an abortion
an eating disorder
the loss of a significant person or pet
any other disturbing event

As a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma resolution in Denver & Boulder CO, I confidently rely on EMDR for the following reasons:

  • I am a Holistic Psychotherapist. I believe that EMDR helps one access and activate the intrinsic growth and healing process.
  • EMDR is a time-efficient treatment option. Once the necessary History/Treatment Planning/Preparation have been completed, most of my clients can evaluate EMDR’s effectiveness almost immediately. While the length of treatment for trauma will vary depending on the nature and severity of the problem, many clients achieve significant or full resolution of a particular trauma during their very first EMDR session.
  • The therapeutic effectiveness of EMDR therapy is well documented, and has been verified by numerous clinical research studies.
