EMDR Therapy
Heal From Trauma, Anxiety, and Burnout
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy developed to help people process traumatic memories and distressing life events. Instead of retelling painful experiences in detail, EMDR focuses on helping your brain “re-file” those memories so they no longer feel as raw or triggering. Through bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping), the brain gets a chance to reconnect, process, and begin to heal.
Our trauma-informed EMDR therapists in Austin help clients reconnect with their resilience, reprocess painful memories, and move through trauma with greater ease and clarity.
How EMDR Therapy Can Help You Heal
You feel emotionally stuck despite knowing the “why”
You may understand something logically, but it still brings up anxiety, shame, or distress when you think about it.
You experience anxiety, panic, or body-based triggers
Certain people, places, or situations can leave you feeling overwhelmed—even if you can’t explain why.
You’ve tried talk therapy but haven’t found relief
EMDR can help address experiences that are stored not just in your mind, but in your body.
You want to heal without reliving the past
With EMDR, you don’t have to go into all the details of what happened. You stay in control of the process.
Trauma isn’t just about one “big” event. It can include a series of overwhelming experiences—childhood neglect, cultural or racial trauma, medical trauma, relationship wounds, or chronic stress. Sometimes, you may not even recognize something as traumatic until your body reacts.
What is a trigger?
Triggers are reminders—internal or external—that signal your brain there’s danger, even when you’re safe. These moments often activate your body’s survival response (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn). EMDR helps rewire those signals, so your past doesn’t dictate your present.
Understanding Trauma & Triggers
Our Approach
We integrate EMDR therapy with a culturally attuned, person-centered lens. We know that healing is never one-size-fits-all, and we honor the full context of your story—including your cultural identity, family history, and lived experiences.
✅ Culturally Responsive & Trauma-Informed
EMDR can support healing from intergenerational, racial, or identity-based trauma. Learn more about our approach to Asian American therapy in Texas and culturally responsive care.
✅ Flexible Format – In-Person & Virtual
Some clients prefer in-person sessions, while others feel safer doing EMDR from home. We offer both.
✅ Gentle & Grounded Process
We go at your pace, using grounding techniques to support emotional regulation before and during EMDR work.

EMDR isn’t just for PTSD. It’s an effective therapy for high-achieving professionals, adult children of immigrants, caregivers, and anyone navigating emotional overwhelm, burnout, or trauma held in the body.
