Trauma Therapy & EMDR.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma-focused care for complex trauma, anxiety, generational trauma, and relationship wounds — using EMDR and integrative approaches to support healing at the root, not just the surface.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess stuck memories so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. It works. We also draw on CBT, CPP, and somatic approaches depending on your needs.

What we work on

Complex and developmental trauma. Anxiety, panic, and chronic stress. Bicultural identity wounds and intergenerational trauma. Attachment injuries and relationship patterns. Perfectionism and high-functioning distress. Grief and significant life loss.

How EMDR works

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation — typically eye movements — to help the brain process memories that got "stuck" during overwhelming experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR doesn't require you to narrate every detail. The brain does a lot of the work on its own, with careful clinical guidance. Most clients notice meaningful shifts in 8–12 sessions, though complex trauma may take longer.

Cultural context in trauma work

Trauma doesn't happen in a vacuum. We pay close attention to how culture, immigration history, language, family-of-origin dynamics, and identity intersect with the experiences we're processing. This isn't a footnote — it's central to the work.

Do I have to talk about everything that happened?

No. EMDR allows processing without requiring detailed narration. We go at your pace and you are always in control of how much you share.

How many sessions does EMDR take?

It varies. Single-incident trauma may resolve in 6–8 sessions. Complex or developmental trauma typically takes longer. We assess as we go.

Is EMDR covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes — EMDR is billed as a standard therapy session. We are in-network with Aetna, BCBS of Texas, Cigna, and United through Headway.
