Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR helps your brain process traumatic memories so they no longer control your life. This proven therapy is highly effective for:

PTSD and complex trauma
Childhood abuse survivors
Accident and assault victims
First responders with trauma
Anxiety and panic disorders

Success Rate: 84-90% of single-trauma victims no longer have PTSD after just 3 sessions

Real Results from Specialized Treatment

With each appointment I feel stronger. Having a therapist to teach me coping techniques that I can apply in every day life has been a game changer for me. My therapist meets me where I am at and always has a plan.

Therapy Client

Grand Rapids

My dissociation was at an all time high when I started therapy. The coping techniques taught me had an immediate effect. I now feel present in both my body and mind.

Trauma Survivor

I have learned how to identify patterns and started to initiate interrupting those patterns. I always look for glimmers throughout my day. I feel comfortable and things go at my pace.
