EMDR Therapy

At Mountain Pathways Counseling, EMDR is one of the evidence-based tools we use to help clients move beyond trauma, distressing memories, and stuck emotional patterns. Whether you’re dealing with PTSD, childhood wounds, performance blocks, or anxiety that won’t let up—EMDR can offer relief when traditional talk therapy alone doesn’t go far enough.
A Practical Approach to Healing from Trauma and Distress

What Is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, so they no longer feel overwhelming or “stuck”. By using bilateral stimulation (often through guided eye movements or tapping), EMDR helps your brain integrate difficult experiences—shifting them from raw emotional reactions into resolved memories.

What Can EMDR Help With?

Trauma and PTSD
  • Helps process difficult experiences such as accidents, violence, medical emergencies, or service-related trauma.
  • Supports healing from early experiences that may still affect how you relate to yourself and others.
  • Reduces the intensity and frequency of anxious feelings, panic, or unwanted thoughts.
  • Offers support when coping with the death of a loved one or other painful losses.
  • Eases blocks related to fear of failure, self-doubt, or pressure to be perfect.
  • Helps shift long-standing beliefs of “not being good enough” or feeling unworthy.
  • Addresses past events that still feel upsetting, even if they happened years ago.

How Is EMDR Different?

You Don’t Have to Talk Through Every Detail
  • EMDR works without needing to describe your full story out loud. You can process what happened without revisiting every part verbally.
  • Instead of only exploring thoughts or feelings, EMDR helps your brain reprocess the memory itself, so it no longer feels overwhelming.
  • EMDR follows a clear step-by-step method, so you always know what to expect and can move at a pace that feels right for you.
  • Many people notice progress in fewer sessions compared to traditional talk therapy.
  • By engaging eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps calm the body while the brain does the healing work.
