EMDR and ART
in Florida

Healing trauma and emotional wounds—personalized, virtual care that meets you where you are.

EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Heal at the root—shift deeply held beliefs and emotional patterns through EMDR.

As a licensed trauma therapist offering virtual EMDR therapy in Florida, I help clients process the unresolved memories and negative self-beliefs that often fuel PTSD, anxiety, relationship struggles, and low self-worth.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that works by helping your brain "unstick" painful memories and replace them with more adaptive, grounded perspectives. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR targets the emotional and somatic imprint of your experiences—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

What to Expect from EMDR Therapy

The EMDR process follows a structured, clinically tested approach:

  1. History & Assessment – We explore your story and identify the themes, memories, or beliefs that still affect you.

  2. Preparation – I’ll guide you through calming tools and grounding exercises to ensure you feel emotionally safe and in control before we begin reprocessing.

  3. Target Identification – Together, we identify specific beliefs or memories for treatment.

  4. Reprocessing with Bilateral Stimulation – Through eye movements, tapping, or audio tones, the brain begins to naturally reprocess the memory.

  5. Installation of Positive Beliefs – You’ll integrate new, more empowering beliefs about yourself.

  6. Body Scan & Closure – We ensure the body feels settled and at peace.

  7. Re-evaluation – We review progress and determine future targets if needed.

Who is a Good Fit for EMDR?

EMDR therapy is ideal for clients who:

  • Have a history of complex trauma, emotional neglect, or chronic stress

  • Have tried talk therapy but still feel stuck in old patterns

  • Want to address maladaptive beliefs like “I’m not good enough” or “I’m unsafe”

  • Are open to emotionally intensive trauma work with strong support and tools in place

Clients often report feeling relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of self after EMDR therapy. This approach is especially beneficial for those who are ready for a deeper level of healing and personal growth.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Fast, focused trauma healing—no need to retell your story.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a breakthrough approach that helps the brain rewire how distressing memories are stored—often in just a few sessions. It’s one of the most effective options for those seeking rapid trauma resolution therapy in Florida, especially for single-event trauma or recent emotional disturbances.

Unlike EMDR, ART doesn’t require detailed verbal processing of the event. Through a structured process of guided visualization and eye movements, ART allows the brain to replace distressing images and sensations with more positive or neutral ones.

What Happens in an ART Session?

  • Identification of the problem image or emotion

  • Eye movements to calm the nervous system

  • Use of voluntary image replacement (a process called rescripting)

  • Continued rounds of bilateral stimulation until emotional distress is resolved

Many clients notice a shift in as few as 1–5 sessions, making ART an excellent fit for individuals looking for effective trauma treatment without long-term therapy.

Who is a Good Fit for ART?

ART therapy is well-suited for clients who:

  • Have experienced a single traumatic event, such as a car accident or medical crisis

  • Experience a persistent daily stressor including emotional or behavioral responses

  • Are navigating panic attacks, phobias, or intrusive images

  • Identify as neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivity) and prefer a focused, highly structured method

  • Want to feel better without rehashing painful details

ART is also ideal for clients who want to process past events related to present-day distress and prefer short-term, results-oriented trauma therapy.
