EMDR Therapy in Westchester County, NY

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a form of therapy that uses bilateral (left-right) stimulation to help our brain and nervous system reprocess our negative experiences that feed into our current symptoms.

Usually, our system is able to store experiences as memories we can look back on. However, when we experience something that overwhelms our system, it becomes stuck with the original thoughts, beliefs, feelings, or physical sensations experienced at the time.

What this means is our system continues to relive the experience as if it is still happening.

Somatic and Attachment Focused (SAFE)

As a therapist, I believe in getting to the root of trauma, which is why I chose to become trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused (S.A.F.E.) Approach through the Personal Transformation Institute. S.A.F.E. EMDR goes a step beyond traditional EMDR approaches, incorporating somatic and attachment therapies, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness practice. This is particularly beneficial for supporting survivors of complex or relational trauma.
