At Strong Lives Counseling, we understand that the journey of healing from trauma is deeply personal and requires a compassionate, tailored approach. That’s why we’re proud to offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, a groundbreaking treatment designed to help individuals process and overcome traumatic experiences.
How EMDR Works
EMDR Therapy is based on the premise that our minds can heal from psychological trauma just as our bodies recover from physical trauma. By using detailed protocols and procedures, EMDR Therapy helps clients activate their natural healing processes through guided eye movements, in conjunction with one-on-one therapy sessions, to work through and release the emotional distress tied to traumatic memories.
Who Can Benefit?
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other effects of trauma, EMDR Therapy at Strong Lives Counseling offers a safe, effective path toward relief and recovery. Our experienced therapists are here to guide you through each step of the process, ensuring a supportive environment where you can confront and heal from your past experiences.

The length of EMDR Therapy varies depending on the individual’s needs and the complexity of their trauma. Some individuals may experience significant relief within a few sessions, while others may require a longer treatment period. Typically, sessions last between 60 to 90 minutes.
Is EMDR therapy safe?
Yes, EMDR Therapy is considered safe. It is a non-invasive therapy with minimal reported side effects. However, individuals may experience temporary increases in distress or emotional intensity as they process difficult memories.
Who can benefit from EMDR therapy?
EMDR Therapy benefits individuals who have experienced trauma, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and specific phobias. It is suitable for people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults.
Can EMDR be done without a therapist?
EMDR Therapy should be conducted by a trained and certified EMDR therapist. The therapeutic process requires skillful guidance to ensure it is done safely and effectively.
How do I know if EMDR is right for me?
A consultation with a qualified therapist is essential to determine if EMDR Therapy suits your needs and history. Discussing your specific concerns and treatment goals will help determine if EMDR is the appropriate approach for you.
