EMDR Therapy in New York
As a trauma therapist, I understand that trauma can send your life into overdrive. Your brain may try to block out fragments of memories, leading you to avoid places, smells, or songs that remind you of distressing experiences. However, these memories often resurface in the form of nightmares, flashbacks, and intrusive thoughts.
With the increasing recognition of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), EMDR therapy in New York has emerged as a highly credible treatment technique. This innovative therapy involves specific eye movements while processing traumatic and disturbing memories, proving to be a powerful tool for healing.
Over the years, it has gained global recognition and acceptance, leading to the establishment of EMDR organizations across the globe.

Personal and Professional Experience with EMDR
I have personally benefited from EMDR, using it to heal my own flying paralysis, and I am committed to helping others experience the same transformative results. Today, I incorporate EMDR into much of my work with clients because of its effectiveness across diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I utilize the latest bilateral stimulation technology to enhance our sessions, whether in-person or virtual.
Despite the lack of a definitive scientific understanding of how EMDR operates on the brain, we know it facilitates healing from the inside out. I feel honored to be a trusted witness to many personal journeys through EMDR.

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, the author of the bestselling book The Body Keeps the Score, is a significant advocate for EMDR. He emphasizes its effectiveness, stating, “EMDR is a bizarre and wondrous treatment, but what’s intriguing is how well it works. EMDR seems to activate our deep and natural healing processes in the brain, allowing us to integrate past memories so you come to accept what you know, and that takes enormous courage.”
