EMDR Therapy in Draper, Utah

If a difficult memory still feels close — like it could pull you back into the same fear or shame you felt at the time — EMDR may help. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain fully process past experiences so they stop feeling like they're happening right now.

How EMDR works

Using guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps “unstick” memories that got stored in a way that keeps triggering distress. Over a series of sessions, we work through what happened, how it affected you, and help your nervous system file it away as past — not present.

Who EMDR helps

  • Single-incident trauma (accidents, medical trauma, loss)

  • Complex or childhood trauma

  • Anxiety and panic tied to specific memories

  • PTSD symptoms — flashbacks, hypervigilance, avoidance

What to expect
Your first session or two focus on building safety and coping tools before we touch any difficult material — nothing happens before you’re ready. Sessions are available in-person in Draper or via telehealth anywhere in Utah.
