Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is one of the industry’s leading treatments for trauma of any severity. Whether a client needs to heal from an acute traumatic event such as a car accident or natural disaster, or is trying to work through painful childhood experiences that lead to debilitating negative self-beliefs (“I’m a failure” or “I’m not enough”), EMDR is one of the most effective approaches for accessing and rewiring parts of the brain that talk therapy cannot reach. EMDR involves the use of bilateral stimulation via visual or auditory stimulation in order to reprocess traumatic experiences and reintegrate healthier beliefs about self, others, and the world. Frog Point Therapists are trained in a variety of trauma treatments including EMDR and have had the privilege of successfully treating many clients who sought to make sense of adverse life experiences.

Let's get started

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help people process experiences that continue to feel unresolved or overwhelming.
At Frog Point Therapy, EMDR is offered as part of a thoughtful, paced therapeutic process rather than a stand-alone technique.

Who Might Consider EMDR Therapy?

EMDR may be appropriate for individuals who:

Have experienced trauma or distressing life events
Feel emotionally “stuck” despite insight or talk therapy
Notice strong reactions linked to past experiences
Are living with symptoms of PTSD or complex trauma

How Does EMDR Work?

EMDR helps the nervous system reprocess memories that were not fully integrated at the time they occurred. Through bilateral stimulation, the emotional charge of these memories can lessen, allowing for new perspective and relief.

What Is the Experience Like?

EMDR is collaborative and carefully paced. Preparation and stabilization are central parts of the process, and therapy proceeds with attention to safety and readiness.
