EMDR Therapy in Arizona and Glendale

Think of your brain like a highly organized filing cabinet. When we experience something overwhelming—whether it’s a high-stress season at work, a difficult birth story, or a past wound—that memory doesn't get filed correctly. Instead, it stays "raw" and "active" in your nervous system.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based method that helps your brain resume its natural healing process.

By using bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements or tapping), EMDR helps your brain "re-file" those stressful memories. They move from being emotionally charged triggers to being part of your past- memories that no longer have the power to cause a racing heart or a spiral of anxiety today.

While traditional therapy often takes place in weekly sessions, some individuals benefit from extended time to fully engage the EMDR process.

Extended EMDR sessions (90 minutes or longer) allow us to:

• Move beyond surface-level processing 
• Stay with the work without interruption 
• Support the nervous system through deeper resolution 

This format can be helpful for:

• Trauma that feels “stuck” despite ongoing work 
• High-capacity individuals who prefer a more focused approach 
• Clients seeking more momentum in their healing process 

All extended sessions are carefully assessed for appropriateness and paced to ensure safety and stability.  

Note: For clients wishing to use insurance, your plan will typically cover the standard 55-minute portion of our work. Extended time or multi-day intensive packages are billed as a flat, out-of-pocket specialty fee due at the time of service. We are happy to clarify your specific options during your consultation.
