Trauma-informed support

A careful approach to painful experiences and emotional triggers.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured therapy approach that may help some clients process distressing memories and experiences. It is often used as part of trauma-informed care, but it is not the right fit for every person or every season of therapy.

Claire considers readiness, safety, stability, current stressors, and treatment goals before using EMDR. The work remains collaborative, respectful, and paced around the client's needs.

What EMDR may support

Processing painful experiences with care, pacing, and consent.

EMDR is not a guarantee and is not a fit for every client. When appropriate, it may be part of therapy for concerns like these.

  • Trauma and PTSD symptoms
  • Distressing memories or experiences that still feel activated
  • Anxiety connected to past events or current triggers
  • Emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or feeling stuck
  • Negative beliefs about self, safety, trust, or control
  • Stress responses that affect relationships and daily life

What to expect

EMDR begins with assessment and preparation.

Before EMDR is used, therapy focuses on understanding the concern, building stability, and deciding together whether this approach fits.

Claire will want to understand your history, current stressors, symptoms, goals, and support system.

Prepare with care

Use EMDR when appropriate

If EMDR fits, it can be integrated into therapy with ongoing check-ins and clinical judgment.
