EMDR Therapy for PTSD, Trauma, Anxiety & More 

Heal at Your Own Pace — Reprocess, Release, Reclaim

At Stone Counseling & Consulting Services, LLC, we understand how trauma and distressing life experiences can linger—affecting your emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. You don’t have to stay stuck. Our trained therapist offers EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help you move through trauma and into healing, in a way that feels safe, supported, and empowering.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for trauma, anxiety, and other distressing experiences. It helps your brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or stuck in the present.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require you to go into detail about the trauma. Instead, it uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones) to help your brain “unstick” and fully process what happened—reducing emotional intensity and reshaping negative beliefs.

What EMDR Can Help With

EMDR is recognized as a leading treatment for PTSD, but its benefits go beyond trauma recovery. At Stone Counseling, we use EMDR to help clients struggling with:
 

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • Childhood abuse or neglect

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Sexual assault or domestic violence

  • Grief and loss

  • Medical trauma, chronic pain, or chronic illness

  • Performance anxiety or perfectionism

  • Low self-esteem or negative self-beliefs

  • First responder or military trauma


If you’re experiencing distress related to the past—especially if you feel “stuck”—EMDR can help you move forward with greater freedom and peace.

What to Expect in EMDR Therapy

EMDR offers a structured, compassionate, and trauma-informed process that prioritizes your emotional safety. The EMDR protocol follows an 8-phase model that includes:

  1. History-taking and treatment planning

  2. Preparation and resourcing (coping skills and safety tools)

  3. Identifying target memories and current triggers

  4. Desensitization using bilateral stimulation

  5. Installing new, positive beliefs

  6. Body scanning for residual tension

  7. Closure with grounding techniques

  8. Re-evaluation and progress review


At Stone Counseling & Consulting Services, LLC, our EMDR-trained clinician will collaborate with you to go at your pace—whether you’re new to therapy or continuing trauma work from another provider.

You Deserve to Heal

Trauma doesn’t have to define your present or your future. With the right support, healing is possible. EMDR therapy at Stone Counseling & Consulting Services, LLC can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and in control of your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of issues can EMDR therapy help with?
EMDR is best known for treating trauma and PTSD, but it's also effective for anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, grief, low self-esteem, and more. We use EMDR to support clients working through both single-event traumas (like accidents or assaults) and complex trauma (such as childhood neglect, emotional abuse, or ongoing distress).

Will I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
No. One of the key benefits of EMDR is that you are not required to describe your trauma in detail. The focus is on how the memory is stored in the brain, not on retelling the entire experience. Many clients appreciate this aspect of EMDR because it allows them to heal without feeling re-traumatized.

How long does EMDR therapy take to work?
EMDR is often shorter than traditional talk therapy, but the length of treatment varies. Some clients see results within 6–12 sessions, while others with complex trauma may benefit from a longer-term approach. We tailor each EMDR treatment plan to your individual needs, pacing the work to ensure emotional safety and long-lasting progress.
