EMDR Trauma Therapy

Solace Counseling Services specializes in EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

EMDR is a proven, effective therapy that helps people heal from trauma, PTSD, and other overwhelming life experiences. It works by briefly focusing on a distressing memory while using bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements, sound, or vibration), which helps take the emotional edge off and makes the memory feel less vivid or upsetting. Morgan will help guide you through the process and tailor this experience to you. 

EMDR is backed by extensive research and has even been shown to help with other concerns such as  anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addiction, and more.

EMDR training is also especially helpful for treating difficult PTSD symptoms and issues, such as dissociative episodes, intrusive thoughts or memories from a traumatic event, and nightmares. It is also incredibly effective when treating less severe PTSD responses  like avoidance, trouble focusing, and general negative or self-accusatory thoughts.

During an EMDR session, Morgan will walk you through the process, teach skills on how to replicate the process when needed, and also provide a safe space and intervene and end the process as needed. Solace also has the expertise on how to differently tackle PTSD or traumatic events varying in severity.

One of the unique things about EMDR is that you don’t have to talk in detail about the painful experience or do homework between sessions. Instead of trying to change your thoughts or behaviors, EMDR helps your brain naturally process and heal from past experiences. Many people find that they feel better in fewer sessions compared to traditional talk therapy.

Solace Counseling Services is here to help as you recover from trauma, and gives you a new set of tools to combat the brutal symptoms of PTSD.
