Evidence-Based Trauma Healing
EMDR Trauma Therapy in Noblesville
Heal from trauma and PTSD with compassionate, evidence-based EMDR therapy
What Is EMDR Trauma Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps your brain process traumatic memories naturally. Using bilateral stimulation, EMDR reduces the emotional charge attached to trauma, allowing you to integrate the memory in a healthier way.
Reprocesses traumatic memories
Your brain naturally heals with proper support and bilateral stimulation.
Reduces emotional intensity
Traumatic memories lose their emotional charge, allowing you to remember without distress.
Accelerates healing
Many clients experience significant progress in fewer sessions than traditional therapy.
EMDR is approved by the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization as an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD.

Resource Building
We establish grounding techniques and safe place imagery to help you feel calm and in control throughout the process.
