Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Therapies

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) is a type of therapy that helps to treat mental health concerns related to memories from traumatic events. EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation to help the brain process traumatic memories in a less distressing way and is typically known for treating PTSD.

If you are looking for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy near me in Whitby, our clinicians provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment to help you process trauma and navigate the presenting challenges related to past events.

How Does EMDR Work?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves moving your eyes in a specific manner while processing traumatic memories. Unlike other forms of therapy, EMDR does not require individuals to talk in detail about their traumatic life events. Instead, treatment is focused on changing the emotions related to the traumatic experience.

What Happens During My Initial Consultation?

During your initial consultation, our office administrator will ask about your therapeutic goals. Next, we will connect you with a therapist for adults who is suited to your treatment needs. We’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about the process during your consultation.

How Can I Get to Your Clinic?

Our EMDR clinic is conveniently located in downtown Whitby. Our location is accessible by public transportation, and free on-site parking is available.

Do You Offer Direct Billing?
