Online EMDR therapy for Florida can help you finally feel free from these negative feelings related to past trauma...

Have you lived through past trauma that is impacting your current life in a negative manner? Are you struggling to focus on day-to-day tasks because you are constantly dwelling on the past? You may be experiencing physical symptoms like irritability, hypervigilance, sleep disturbances, or difficulty concentrating. Perhaps you find yourself replaying past memories and holding negative beliefs about yourself and the world. It is possible that you have recognized that discussing your pain in therapy is not solving the problem. On the other hand, you may not have experienced anything too traumatic, but for some reason, traditional “talk therapy” does not seem to be effective in addressing your current challenges.

It is common to experience trauma at some point in your life.

Indeed, 70% of adults in the United States have faced at least one traumatic event in their lives. It is worth noting that the term “trauma” is broad, as what may have been traumatic for one person may not have been traumatic for another. Trauma can involve various situations, such as witnessing a death, engaging in war combat, experiencing sexual abuse, losing a loved one, being in a serious accident, or even going through a breakup. If an event felt traumatic to you and still affects you today, it can be classified as trauma.

Who Is EMDR For?

Although traditional talk therapy is valuable for processing past traumatic memories, online Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy offers a more comprehensive approach to healing. EMDR assists in reprocessing trapped memories that contribute to current negative symptoms related to past trauma. By fully reprocessing these memories, individuals can uncover and address beliefs that have developed as a result of these experiences. Furthermore, EMDR can help individuals alleviate intense and uncomfortable feelings associated with discussing or recalling past trauma. Though originally created as a treatment for trauma, EMDR has proven be useful for treatment in the following conditions:

Even without experiencing the symptoms listed above, virtual EMDR therapy can offer support if you are grappling with intense emotions that may seem excessive in light of the current situation. If you tend to react strongly to certain triggers or hold negative beliefs about yourself and the world, EMDR could still be a suitable option for you. In the midst of ongoing global events, you may even feel hesitant to venture outside. Online EMDR for Florida residents provides a convenient means of accessing help from the comfort of your own home.

EMDR Therapy Online Can Help

Even if you have experienced trauma, the good news is that EMDR can help. One of the best parts about EMDR is that you, as the client, do not even need to tell me all of the specific details of your past trauma (unless of course you want to). In an EMDR session, I can still help you target and address the past traumatic events without having to discuss details that may make you feel even worse in that moment. Online EMDR therapy can help you in a way that traditional talk therapy cannot by accessing the brain on more of an unconscious level. I have utilized EMDR treatment to successfully help trauma survivors heal from trauma, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and more in a variety of treatment settings.

Some Benefits of EMDR Online Include:

What Does an EMDR Online Session Look Like?

EMDR therapy online involves bilateral stimulation to engage both sides of the brain, achieved through methods like eye movements, tapping, or lights. It is essential to work with a therapist who is skilled in this technique for optimal results. I will provide you with the necessary resources for your online EMDR session, support you throughout the process, and assist you in practicing coping strategies and self-care in between sessions. Studies have indicated that online EMDR is just as effective as in-person sessions so rest assured that receiving EMDR in Florida will work!

Why Book an Online EMDR Session with Me?

I was trained in EMDR through an EMDRIA-accredited trainer, and then completed additional training and supervision to become an EMDR Certified Therapist. I have successfully used EMDR with many clients in various treatment settings and for many of the conditions listed above. Clients have stated that they felt better after even one session, and significantly better after a few in a row! I have also had clients tell me that online EMDR therapy allowed them to finally let go of negative limiting beliefs that had been holding them back in their lives, thus increasing their overall self-esteem. Clients have enjoyed doing EMDR in an online setting, seeing as they feel even more comfortable opening up from within their own home. I am licensed to provide online EMDR therapy in Florida, California and Utah.

Not only have I utilized EMDR with many different clients, but I have used it in various treatment settings. In addition to these various treatment experiences, I also utilize mindfulness and breathing techniques that I have learned through my training as a Registered Yoga Teacher. This provides a unique blend of standardized EMDR treatment intertwined with relaxing strategies to help clients feel comfortable during and after session.

You may have some questions about seeing an online EMDR therapist...

Can EMDR be harmful or dangerous?

EMDR is generally considered to be safe and not harmful. If there are any side effects, they may include feeling light-headed or experiencing heightened emotions/physical sensations after the session. However, these effects should lessen over time as the intensity of the memories decreases. It’s important to note that EMDR may not be suitable for individuals with certain health conditions, and I always discuss this with clients to ensure that it is a good fit before we proceed.

Is EMDR like being hypnotized?

EMDR functions similarly to hypnosis by eliciting unconscious feelings, sensations, emotions, and thoughts. It is essential to understand that you will be completely conscious and aware during the entire EMDR session.

How do I prepare for a virtual EMDR session?

In preparation for virtual EMDR sessions, I closely collaborate with all my clients to ensure they feel ready. The initial sessions will focus on you sharing more about your concerns and what you aim to resolve through virtual EMDR. We will go through the process of EMDR together to ensure your full understanding of the process. After that, I will teach you grounding skills to practice during sessions (from the comfort of your own home) and between sessions to assist with relaxation and emotional regulation. Throughout the online EMDR session, I will provide guidance, allowing you to simply sit back and follow my lead.

I’m not sure if I have experienced trauma...will EMDR still help me?

Even without experiencing severe trauma, EMDR therapy can offer assistance. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of EMDR in treating a range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, eating disorders, addiction, and more. If you often find yourself experiencing excessive distress in everyday situations, consulting with an online EMDR therapist in Florida may be beneficial. EMDR therapy can also assist in addressing depression and enhancing self-esteem by enabling the release of negative beliefs.

Will EMDR treatment work for me?

It is difficult to ascertain the efficacy of EMDR treatment without undergoing it personally. Nevertheless, research indicates that EMDR is a highly effective form of therapy. If conventional talk therapy has not produced the desired results, EMDR treatment could be a valuable option to consider. Online EMDR treatment is particularly suitable for individuals who feel stuck in their daily lives and are striving to move forward but are facing challenges.

Is EMDR online as effective?

Studies have demonstrated that virtual EMDR is effective and does not necessitate in-person meetings to produce results. The pre-session conversations can be conducted similarly to those held in an office, and I will assist you in mastering the same coping strategies. For some individuals, online EMDR proves to be more advantageous, as it eliminates the stress of commuting and traffic.

Symptoms and Disorders That Online EMDR Treatment Is Used For:

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - A condition in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Some symptoms may include feelings of distress, physical reminders of trauma (nausea, sweating, pounding heart), intrusive thoughts and memories, flashbacks, nightmares, feeling emotionally detached, loss of interest in life and daily activities, and avoidance of specific events/feelings that serve as a reminder of the traumatic event.
Trauma - Even if you do not meet the full criteria for PTSD (above), EMDR can also be incredibly helpful for individuals that have experienced any type of trauma throughout their lives.
Childhood Trauma - EMDR can also be very helpful for individuals that may have experienced trauma during their childhood. EMDR has the ability to help you process difficult past events, no matter how long ago they occurred.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) - A condition in which an individual experiences excessive worry about a number of different things (personal health, work, relationships, finances, etc) most days, for at least 6 months.
