EMDR and Trauma Healing | A Nutritious Life - Therapy for Women and Adolescents

EMDR, and Trauma Healing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach form of psychotherapy that focuses on healing individuals from trauma, emotional distress, anxiety, or symptoms that have resulted after a disturbing life experience.

EMDR allows your brain to reprocess and heal from emotional trauma much like the body heals from physical injury. EMDR uses sets of eye movements to help you update disturbing experiences, much like what occurs when we sleep. During sleep, we alternate between regular sleep and REM (rapid eye movement). This sleep pattern helps you process things that are troubling you. EMDR replicates this sleep pattern by alternating between sets of eye movements and pauses to reflect on what you are noticing. This alternating process helps you update your memories to a healthier present perspective.

EMDR Intensives

Therapy should fit your life — not the other way around.

The traditional weekly therapy model is evolving to meet people where they are. Maybe your schedule is packed and unpredictable, making weekly appointments more stressful than supportive. Or maybe you’re craving real change now, and the idea of waiting months to feel better just doesn’t sit right.

That’s where EMDR intensives come in

EMDR intensives are designed for people whose busy lives make weekly therapy hard to sustain — and for those who want focused, effective support that brings faster relief. Whatever your reason for stepping away from the traditional model, EMDR intensives offer deep, personalized healing when you need it most. EMDR isn’t just for trauma. It can also help ease anxiety, depression, and even enhance performance in areas like work, athletics, and relationships.

What Makes EMDR Intensives Different

Each intensive is designed around your schedule, your pace, and your goals — giving you faster access to meaningful support without a long waitlist.

EMDR Intensives Include

Pre-consultation interview: We’ll meet to determine if an intensive is right for you and identify the memories, emotions, or body sensations you’d like relief from.
Personalized treatment workbook: A guided resource to support reflection and growth before, during, and after our sessions.
Customized treatment plan: Tailored to your goals, offered as half-day or two-day options; available in-person.
Post-treatment follow-up: A supportive check-in to help you integrate and sustain the positive changes from your work.

Ongoing Weekly Therapy

For those who prefer a steady rhythm and long-term support, ongoing weekly therapy offers a consistent space to explore, heal, and grow. Whether you’re seeking short-term focus or long-term support, you’ll find a flexible approach that meets you where you are.
