You're really ready to heal.
You've talked about it. You've tried to let it go.
But the memories still linger.
Your body still reacts.
The panic, the shutdowns, the shame they keep showing up.
If you've been stuck in the same loops no matter how hard you try, you're not broken. Your nervous system is doing its best to protect you.
And it's possible to show it a new way gently.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. A powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories and experiences.
But here's what that actually means:
You don't have to relive the worst moments of your life to heal from them.
EMDR helps you move through trauma without getting stuck in it, so your nervous system can finally stop sounding the alarm.
-
PTSD and complex trauma
-
Childhood abuse or neglect
-
Anxiety and panic attacks
-
Dissociation or emotional numbness
-
Sexual trauma
-
Medical trauma or accidents
-
Phobias or persistent fears
-
Negative self-beliefs ("I'm not good enough," "It was my fault," etc.)
Even if the event feels "small" or like you should be "over it", if it still affects you, it's valid. And EMDR can help.
What EMDR looks like at Healing Current:
My EMDR sessions are gentle, supportive, and paced with you in mind.
You stay fully awake and in control throughout the process.
I use tools like bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or tones) to help your brain reprocess what's stuck, like untangling a knot that's been there for years.
This is not a one-size-fits-all method. Together, we move slowly, collaboratively, and with deep respect for your lived experience.
How does it work?
1. History & Treatement Planning
We'll start by talking through your history and what's brought you here, gently identifying the experiences we'll want to work together on, and making sure you have the resources and support in place to feel steady along the way.
Before we touch anything difficult, we'll build a real therapeutic relationship. I'll walk you through what to expect from EMDR, answer your questions, and give you tools to stay grounded if things feel activating.
2. Preparation
We'll pinpoint the memory we're focusing on, along with the images, beliefs, feelings, and body sensations connected to it, so we have a clear starting point before we begin reprocessing.
3. Assessment
Using gentle bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or tones, we'll help your brain reprocess that memory at its own pace, allowing new thoughts, feelings, and sensations to surface as the old distress begins to ease.
4. Desensitization
Once the distress has settled, we'll strengthen a positive belief about yourself that you want to carry forward, until it feels solid and true.
5. Installation
We'll scan through your body together, noticing anywhere the old memory might still be lingering physically, and gently work through any remaining tension.
6. Body Scan
Every session ends with grounding, so you leave feeling settled and present, whether we've fully completed processing that memory or not.
7. Closure
At the start of each new session, we'll check in on what we've already processed to make sure it's feeling resolved, then decide together where to focus next.
8. Reevaluation
Why telehealth therapy?
At Healing Current Trauma Therapy, I offer telehealth EMDR therapy in Massachusetts & Rhode Island for clients who want to heal without having to re-experience every detail of what hurt them. Telehealth therapy allows you to be in a familiar, comforting environment while still receiving effective trauma therapy.
I work especially well with:
-
2SLGBTQQIA+ clients
-
Survivors of complex or developmental trauma
-
Highly sensitive and neurodivergent individuals
-
Clients who’ve felt misunderstood in past therapy spaces
-
Adults exploring gender, sexuality, and identity
-
People navigating anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation
-
Trauma survivors seeking a safe place to heal
-
Young adults feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in a major life transition
-
People wanting a body-based approach to healing trauma that talk therapy alone hasn't reached
"Therapy doesn't have to be cold or clinical. I believe healing happens when we feel truly seen and safe enough to be ourselves."
You don't have to keep carrying this alone.
EMDR isn't easy work, but it is powerful.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
