EMDR Therapy at Sanara Mental Health
Heal from trauma. Reprocess painful memories. Find clarity.
Trauma can leave lasting effects — intrusive memories, anxiety, depression, or feeling “stuck” in the past. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidence-based treatment that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences by reprocessing memories in a safe and guided way.
At Sanara Mental Health, our trained clinicians use EMDR to help clients reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories, so they can move forward with greater peace, clarity, and resilience.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR is a structured therapy that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their overwhelming emotional charge. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements, tapping, or sounds) while focusing on specific memories. This process helps “unstick” trauma stored in the nervous system, allowing for healing and integration.
