EMDR SESSION INFO
EMDR is a process. Learning its terms and its flow is part of the Phases.
The work of EMDR is being curious, intentionally noticing, allowing the emotions from the loud and quiet voices within us and giving them space to become something else.
After a few sessions you learn the pattern, components, and phrases and the process becomes familiar.

PHASES
EMDR follows an 8 phase model. The work begins with your recent experiences and we Floatback to past experiences.
The goal is to end with desensitization and resolution of the experience.
The phases provide a path and structure to the therapeutic work.
PLATFORM
All sessions are held virtually.
The RemotEMDR platform is specially developed just for this purpose. The beauty of technology makes EMDR more accessible.
Visit the Resources page here for a link to a demo video about RemotEMDR and more info about EMDR.
PROCESS
Sessions are 65-70 minutes. After the initial Phases(Readiness), every session we will focus in on a target.
Each session will narrow in on a focus for the session (Target Identification). We will engage in sets of eye movements, the DR (Desensitization and Re-Processing)of EMDR, and then end with Resourcing to soothe the mind, body and nervous system.
PREPARATION
Beginning EMDR starts with a thorough screening process that covers Readiness, logistics, Resourcing, current issues, and history. Typically, there are 3-6 six sessions before beginning actual EMDR with bi-lateral eye movements and re-processing.
These initial sessions are part of the EMDR Phases beginning with Readiness: History, Planning, Preparation, & Resourcing.
PAYMENT
Session rate: $125
A secure billing platform allows for easy processing of Health Savings Account cards and credit/debit cards.
Billing health insurance is not part of my practice. My practice is fee for service. Sessions are charged to the card on file and processed at the time of service. I am open to discussion about session rate and financial needs.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
Starting EMDR is an informed choice.
If you feel ready to learn more and see if working together feels like a good fit, let’s begin by meeting for a 20-30 minute consultation call.
A consultation call is offered at no cost.
Consultation provides a space to learn more about EMDR, discuss the logistics of working together, and for me to learn more about you & why EMDR feels like it might be right, right now.
“EMDR therapy targets the unprocessed memories that contain negative emotions, sensations and beliefs.
In the EMDR process what is useful is learned, what’s useless is discarded, and the memory is now stored in a way that is no longer damaging.”
-Dr. Francine Shapiro, EMDR Creator
RESOURCES
An essential component of EMDR therapy is understanding the EMDR process and learning the support tools and resources that help you on your journey.
Resourcing is EMDR’s word for Tools/Coping Skills.
Resourcing is an active, intentional practice. Resourcing supports you in session and in between sessions.
