EMDR Therapy in Orlando
EMDR Therapy in Orlando
You deserve relief that lasts. EMDR therapy helps your brain reprocess trauma so anxiety eases, sleep improves, and life feels steadier again. If you’re searching for an EMDR therapist near me, we offer in-person care in Orlando and HIPAA-secure telehealth across Florida.
What Is EMDR—and How It Helps
EMDR is a structured therapy that uses bilateral stimulation (typically guided eye movements) to help the brain re-process traumatic or highly stressful memories. Many clients report relief from PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and triggers as memories become less emotionally charged and more manageable.
Key benefits
- Reduces the intensity of traumatic memories and triggers
- Builds tools for grounding, safety, and emotion regulation
- Can help with PTSD, anxiety, grief, and adverse experiences
Is EMDR Right for You?
EMDR may be a good fit if you experience:
- Intrusive memories, nightmares, or flashbacks
- Avoidance of places or situations that feel unsafe
- Hypervigilance, anxiety, irritability, or sleep issues
- Guilt, shame, or stuckness after difficult experiences
Not sure? We’ll help you decide in a quick consult and recommend a plan that fits your goals and comfort level.
What an EMDR Session Looks Like
First session: History, goals, and strengths. We’ll teach resourcing skills (grounding, calming imagery) so you feel prepared and safe.
Ongoing sessions: We identify target memories and process them using bilateral stimulation, checking how emotions and body sensations shift. Some clients notice relief in a few sessions; complex histories take longer.
Pacing & safety: You stay in control. We proceed at a respectful pace, using stabilization skills anytime you need them.

FAQs
How many EMDR sessions will I need?
Timelines vary by person and history. Some clients notice relief within a few sessions; complex trauma typically takes longer. We’ll outline an estimated plan during your first session and adjust together as we go.
Is EMDR effective online?
Yes. EMDR adapts well to secure telehealth. We’ll walk you through how it works and make sure you’re comfortable with the setup before we begin.
Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
No. EMDR focuses on your present-moment experience while processing the memory safely. You won’t be asked to share unnecessary details.
What if I feel overwhelmed during a session?
You set the pace. We build grounding/resourcing skills first and can pause or slow down anytime. Safety and regulation come before processing.
Is EMDR only for PTSD?
No. EMDR can also help with anxiety, grief, phobias, and other distressing experiences or stuck patterns.
How long is a session and how often do we meet?
Standard sessions are about 50 minutes, typically weekly at the start. We can discuss longer or more spaced-out sessions based on your goals and schedule.
Do you take insurance?
Yes. We’re in-network with Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. If you have different coverage, we can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. HSA/FSA are welcome.
Can EMDR be combined with other approaches?
Absolutely. We can integrate EMDR with CBT/skills work, mindfulness, and practical coping tools between sessions.
