Online EMDR works similarly to in-person sessions, with some modifications to accommodate the virtual format. You might follow a object on your screen, use self-administered bilateral stimulation like tapping your shoulders alternatively.

Many clients, and studies, find these adaptations just as effective as traditional in-person methods.

Virtual EMDR offers several advantages, including flexible scheduling, resolution of transportation challenges, or feel more comfortable processing trauma in their own safe space.

The day of your EMDR session, wear comfortable clothing and plan for some downtime afterward, as processing can be emotionally intensive. Avoid scheduling stressful activities immediately before or after your appointment.

I offer in-person EMDR sessions in Goodyear, AZ which is close to Avondale, AZ and Tolleson, AZ.

Or virtually throughout AZ, OH, and CO.

At the beginning of session, we will discuss which target we will be working on and create our plan.

During the session, we will spend the majority of the time in the reprocessing stage doing bilateral stimulation to work through the memory.

At the end, we will spend a few minutes processing and using a calming skill to make sure you are regulated when you leave.
