EMDR and Trauma Therapy Can Help You

EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps reprocess difficult and traumatic experiences, allowing you to feel calmer and more in control. Trauma therapy, including EMDR, works to heal emotional and mental wounds caused by overwhelming events.

With EMDR and Trauma therapy, you can break free from negative beliefs, emotions, and sensations, overcoming the patterns that keep you stuck.

How EMDR and Trauma therapy works

Trauma therapy provides a safe space to address the lingering effects of painful experiences, helping you process emotions, triggers, and memories that feel overwhelming. A key method in trauma therapy is EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which uses bilateral stimulation to calm the brain while reprocessing difficult events.

  • EMDR and Trauma therapy helps facilitate the brain’s natural healing process, so you’re not as affected by difficult memories, triggers, and emotions.

Trauma therapy, including EMDR, supports the brain’s natural healing to reduce the impact of negative memories, sensations, and beliefs. EMDR’s 8-phase approach helps shift the effects of trauma, providing relief and renewed control over your life..

What to expect

Trauma therapy, including EMDR, starts with:

  • Understanding your background and history

  • Identifying past experiences linked to your current feelings

  • Using tools to help you feel calmer and more confident

When you’re ready to address difficult experiences, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to reduce overwhelm and support your brain’s natural healing process.

Trauma therapy not only helps with past experiences but also addresses current triggers, empowering you to feel more in control and confident in facing future challenges.

How can it help you

Trauma therapy, including EMDR, helps your body feel calmer and stop unwanted reactions when triggered.

By reprocessing past experiences, they transform from distressing to neutral, allowing you to move forward with greater confidence and peace.

EMDR creates lasting change by addressing the roots of painful emotions and negative beliefs, helping your brain store traumatic memories in a healthier, adaptive way.

Tiana has been so great for my wife and I. She doesn't usually meet with couples but I feel like she’s been beyond what we could have expected. We’ve seen other couples therapists and she’s been the best one yet

Cory

Nelson is incredible. As a guy hesitant about therapy, I gave it a shot after seeing its impact on my spouse—and it changed my life. His sessions were some of the most powerful experiences I've ever had, helping me uncover and work through things I didn't even realize I needed to. Nelson created a safe space where I could open up, and he taught me skills that transformed not only my life but also my relationships. If you're unsure about therapy, trust me—just book a session.

Ryan

I’ve worked with a couple therapists in the past and Nelson Lee by far has the best approach to helping overcome anxiety. Nelson helped me learn practical and effective ways to help me get to a settled place. The tools and techniques are easy to deploy and they work well. I also appreciated Nelson’s down to earth personality and his willingness to truly listen to what I was experiencing before recommending techniques. I always get heard and understood every time we met.

I want to thank my therapist Rubi Garcia she’s so sweet and amazing human being 🙏🏻 she really got me out of my depresión. He helped me to be strong emotionally because I used to be so soft and I didn’t know how to handle hard situations now because of her I handle everything so well. I’m no longer depressed. I am feeling myself once again after years of emotional damage she helped me in every kind of way and I will forever be grateful. She’s an angel that god brought to me . Her vibe is so bright and I love her so much .

I would choose Jessica to be my therapist any day of the week. She will never make you feel judged, I just love her. She is so empathetic and devoted to what she does, and her office is so inviting.

Emma

I was a colleague of Rubi Garcia when she and I worked together as therapists early on in our career. Even then I could see how prevalent her authenticity in caring for and advocating for her clients was. Her ability to use self in therapy amazes me. If it wasn’t a dual relationship, I’d ask her to be my own therapist in a heartbeat. Grateful to know you Rubi! We need more like you in our line of work.
