Our Approach to Trauma Healing

At CALM Therapy Center, EMDR is offered within a trauma-informed, individualized approach to therapy. We don't assume that every client needs to immediately process traumatic experiences. Treatment considers your symptoms, history, goals, readiness, and need for stabilization before determining when and how EMDR may be helpful.

Our therapists use EMDR to help clients work through distressing experiences and patterns that may continue to affect emotions, relationships, beliefs, and responses in the present. Depending on your needs, EMDR may be integrated with other therapeutic approaches rather than used as a stand-alone treatment.

How Do I Choose an EMDR Therapist?

Look for a licensed or appropriately supervised therapist who has completed recognized EMDR training and has experience treating the concerns bringing you to therapy. Just as importantly, your therapist should assess readiness, explain the process, establish safety and coping resources when needed, and tailor treatment to you rather than rushing into trauma processing.

CALM's EMDR-trained therapists incorporate these principles into individualized treatment planning.
