EMDR THERAPY

At Martino and Associates Psychotherapy Services, we recognize how deeply painful experiences can affect daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process trauma and distressing memories in a safe and effective way. By reducing the emotional intensity of these memories, EMDR makes it possible to move forward with greater peace and resilience.

EMDR works by combining memory recall with bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds. This process helps the brain “reframe” how memories are stored, so they shift from feeling raw and overwhelming to becoming manageable and less triggering. The goal is not to erase the past, but to help you experience it differently—without the same emotional weight.

While EMDR is widely known for its success in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it can also provide relief for anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, and negative self-beliefs. Many clients find it to be a more efficient approach than traditional talk therapy, with meaningful progress often achieved in fewer sessions.

Our team at Martino and Associates is specially trained in EMDR and committed to creating a supportive environment for healing. We tailor each session to your unique needs, ensuring you feel grounded and empowered throughout the process. If you’re ready to take the next step toward recovery, we’re here to guide you.
