Virtual EMDR in South Carolina
You’ve spent years surviving — doing what you had to do to keep moving forward. But survival mode is exhausting. EMDR therapy can help your brain and body finally feel safe enough to heal.
Let’s take the first step together.
What Is EMDR?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a research-backed therapy that helps the brain and body process traumatic memories so they feel less stuck, overwhelming, or like they’re still happening.
First developed for PTSD
Now widely used for anxiety, burnout, childhood trauma, and more
Helps the nervous system shift out of survival mode and into healing
How EMDR Works
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) to help your brain reprocess distressing experiences. You’re not erasing the memory — you’re helping your brain file it away so it no longer feels like an open wound.
You stay present and in control
You don’t have to retell your trauma in detail
Many clients feel lighter, calmer, or more grounded over time
Think of it as updating your internal system — so the past stops hijacking your present.
What EMDR Look Like In My Practice
The process is gentle, collaborative, and paced with you. We don’t rush. We build safety first, and together we decide what your brain is ready for.
Sessions are 50–60 minutes (extended sessions available if needed)
We often begin with resourcing or nervous system support
You’ll never be pushed to “go there” before you’re ready
You’re still the one in the driver’s seat—I’m just here to help you navigate.
Who EMDR Can Help
EMDR may be a good fit if you:
You grew up in a chaotic or emotionally immature home
You struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or chronic self-doubt
You identify as a highly sensitive person or a helper feeling burned out
You look fine on the outside, but inside you feel flooded and overwhelmed
Even if talk therapy hasn’t helped in the past, EMDR offers a different way forward.
