EMDR Therapy — A Powerful, Evidence-Based Treatment for Trauma
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most effective therapies for trauma, anxiety, and unresolved emotional memories. Clients often experience relief more quickly than with talk therapy alone.

Judy uses EMDR to help clients:
-
Process traumatic memories safely
-
Reduce triggers and intrusive thoughts
-
Heal emotional wounds stuck in the body
-
Move past experiences that feel frozen in time
-
