At Urban Health Group (UHG), we are proud to announce expanding our mental health services to include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) consultations.
What is EMDR?
Discover a life-saving therapy for the treatment of trauma - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy technique that has been extensively researched and proven effective. Unlike traditional talk therapy, it focuses on the disturbing emotions and symptoms resulting from traumatic events.
The EMDR Process
During the therapy, our licensed counselors and psychotherapists guide the client through the EMDR process. Therapists use a hand motion technique to guide the client's eye movements from side to side like a pendulum. This method is believed to create a similar effect to the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase of sleep, which is associated with processing emotional experiences. The EMDR process includes eight essential phases that ensure a safe and supportive environment. Experience a unique and non-traditional form of psychotherapy today.
Our EMDR Consultation Service
At UHG, our licensed counselors and psychotherapists will guide you through the EMDR process, providing a safe and supportive environment. The process has eight phases: from desensitization to closure and reevaluation. Each step is essential to the overall healing process.
Benefits of EMDR
EMDR has successfully treated individuals who have experienced psychological traumas, including rape, assault, childhood abuse, car accidents, and natural disasters. It also effectively treats post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, eating disorders, and panic attacks. This is essential for mitigating the life-altering effects of these issues— especially in the long term.
BIPOC and Trauma
Our particular emphasis on BIPOC health and wellness means we recognize the unique experiences of trauma within these communities. Trauma can take many forms, including racial trauma, and EMDR can be an effective tool in the healing process.
