EMDR Therapy Near Me in North Carolina

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma and PTSD. If you're searching for "EMDR therapy near me" in Cary, Raleigh, Greensboro, Fayetteville, or Wilmington, NC, our certified EMDR therapists can help you understand what EMDR therapy is and how it works.

EMDR therapy for trauma is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from different treatment approaches. Many people ask "does EMDR therapy work?" The answer is yes—EMDR is recognized by the American Psychological Association, World Health Organization, and Department of Veterans Affairs as an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and complex trauma.

EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy method that uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Our certified EMDR therapists in North Carolina often use eye movements to facilitate bilateral stimulation during EMDR therapy sessions. These eye movements mimic the period of sleep referred to as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is frequently considered the time when the mind processes recent events in a person's life.

EMDR therapy for anxiety and depression seems to help the brain reprocess trapped memories in such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Our EMDR therapists often use EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as a result of relational trauma, childhood abuse, childhood trauma, and/or neglect. Whether you're looking for EMDR therapy for PTSD, EMDR therapy for trauma, or EMDR therapy for anxiety, our approach targets the root causes of distress.
