When our practice may not be the best fit
While we are dedicated to helping as many people as possible, there are certain situations in which you may be better served by another practice or organization:
If you are struggling with eating disorders, dissociative disorders, or substance use disorders, which may benefit from specialized services or a higher level of care
If you are experiencing an active crisis and need immediate support
If you require court-mandated therapy or prefer in-person sessions
If you're looking for therapy methods we don't currently offer, like internal family systems (IFS) or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)
For these circumstances, we recommend reaching out to resources that can better serve your needs:

FAQs about EMDR therapy
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized therapy approach designed to help individuals heal from trauma and other painful past experiences. By harnessing the brain’s natural healing abilities, EMDR can alleviate symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and uncomfortable body sensations tied to trauma.
During an EMDR session, your therapist will guide you through bilateral stimulation techniques, such as guided eye movements or tapping, while recalling specific painful memories. This process helps your brain reprocess those memories, enabling you to move forward without being constantly triggered.
-
EMDR was originally created as a specialized treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Whether you've been through childhood trauma or have a recent traumatic memory from an event like an accident or abusive relationship, EMDR can alleviate your symptoms and help you break through the negative beliefs that can result from those experiences.
In addition to trauma, EMDR can also be used to help people heal from anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.
-
While EMDR can be highly effective for many people, it may not be the best fit for everyone. We generally don't recommend EMDR for people with:
Severe dissociative disorders
Active psychosis
Significant cognitive impairments
Uncontrolled bipolar disorder
Not sure where EMDR therapy is right for you? Reach out today so we can talk about your situation. Even if EMDR isn't a good fit, we may still be able to help.
-
Yes, EMDR therapy is often covered by insurance plans. However, your specific coverage (and other information like co-pays and deductibles) can vary from plan to plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm your specific benefits.
Our practice is in-network with most major insurance plans. If we’re not in-network with your provider, you may be able to get reimbursed for your sessions through your out-of-network benefits. For more information, check out our fees and insurance page.
