At Little Brown Therapy, we offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and painful life experiences. EMDR targets where trauma is stored both in your body and your mind. Whether you're feeling stuck in past events, feel easily triggered, or frequently in distress, EMDR can support you in finding relief and moving forward.

What Is EMDR?

EMDR is a structured psychotherapy approach that helps your brain process and resolve distressing memories. Through guided bilateral stimulation — often using eye movements or gentle taps — EMDR helps "unstick" traumatic experiences, so they no longer feel overwhelming.

Think of it as clearing out emotional clutter: the memories are still there, but they no longer control your present.

What Can EMDR Help With?

EMDR is clinically proven to support healing in people experiencing:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

• Childhood trauma or abuse

• Anxiety and panic

• Depression related to past events

• Grief and complicated loss

• Racial and intergenerational trauma

• Medical trauma or accidents

You don't have to "have it all together" — EMDR meets you where you are.

What Happens in an EMDR Session?

Our sessions are gentle, client-led, and paced to support your nervous system. A typical EMDR session includes:

1. Preparation and Safety: We'll build trust, explore your strengths, and establish calming techniques.

2. Memory Processing: We’ll guide you through recalling a memory while you follow bilateral stimulation (eye movement, tapping, etc.).

3. Integration: As emotional distress lessens, new insights and beliefs can emerge.

You’re always in control. EMDR is not about reliving trauma — it’s about reclaiming your peace. What you’ve been through will always be sad, but it doesn’t have to be impacting your day to day life anymore.

Is EMDR Right for You?

If you feel like traditional talk therapy hasn’t helped you move past something, EMDR might be a good fit. We work with adults of all backgrounds, and our trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach ensures your unique story is held with care.

You deserve healing that honors your story. EMDR with us can help you find it.
