EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences so they no longer feel as present or overwhelming.

At Inner Beacon Therapy, we integrate EMDR into treatment to address trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other symptoms, while respecting your pace, sensory needs, and personal history.

How We Work With EMDR

We use EMDR as part of a broader, collaborative treatment plan. The process starts with resourcing: building safety, stability, and skills before we target painful memories. Each phase is adapted to your comfort, readiness, and goals.

You can expect:

  • Personalized pacing: We move only as fast as feels safe for you.

  • Trauma-informed approach: Grounding tools, consent, and choice at every step.

  • Sensory-friendly adaptations: Adjustments for light, sound, movement, and focus.

  • Integration with other modalities: EMDR works alongside talk therapy, somatic work, and skill-building.

  • Not necessarily. EMDR can be done with minimal verbal detail, especially helpful if discussing the memory feels overwhelming.

  • The number of sessions varies depending on the complexity of your experiences and your pace. Some clients notice changes quickly; others need more gradual work.

  • Yes. We use a secure telehealth platform (SimplePractice) with adaptations for effective virtual EMDR sessions.
