EMDR Therapy in Irvine, California

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gentle, structured therapy that helps you process traumatic memories without needing to relive them in detail. It works by using bilateral stimulation (like tapping or eye movements) while focusing on distressing memories. Over time, this helps reduce the emotional charge and negative beliefs attached to those memories.

Who is it for?

EMDR is widely used for PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), but it’s also effective for:

  • Childhood trauma

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Grief and loss

  • Racial trauma and microaggressions

  • Performance anxiety or perfectionism

An EMDR session with our therapists will consist of a thorough intake and assessment of your concerns and coping skills. You will be in control throughout the process and your EMDR therapist will go at your pace and make you feel comfortable.

How it helps:

Instead of just talking about your trauma, EMDR allows your brain to reprocess painful experiences in a way that feels safer and more integrated. Many clients say they feel lighter, clearer, and more in control after a few sessions.

EMDR Therapy traditionally has 8 Phases that help to ensure comprehensive treatment. After each session, EMDR will continually be tailored to your unique circumstances.

Typically, EMDR therapy produces rapid progress because you are able to make insights and connections that wouldn’t have come up in traditional talk therapy.

EMDR in the Media:

Miley Cyrus, Prince Harry, and Demi Lovato are some of the celebrities who have spoken about how EMDR helped them overcome trauma and anxiety.
