Chicago EMDR Therapy

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy modality that helps people heal from trauma, PTSD, and overwhelming life experiences. EMDR uses guided eye movements and other bilateral stimulation techniques to help your brain reprocess painful memories in a safe and supportive way. The goal is to reduce the emotional intensity of the memory, so it feels like something from your past rather than something controlling your present.

Start Your Healing Journey

Who can benefit from EMDR therapy?

EMDR is especially effective for people living with:

EMDR therapy can help individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) process painful memories, reduce triggers, and regain a sense of safety and control.
EMDR therapy supports healing from childhood trauma and abuse by helping you process painful memories, reduce emotional triggers, and create healthier patterns for the future.
EMDR therapy can ease anxiety and panic attacks by addressing root causes, calming the nervous system, and building long-term resilience and inner peace.
EMDR therapy helps reduce the intensity of phobias and fears by targeting root memories and experiences, creating space for calm and resilience.
Struggling with low self-esteem or negative self-beliefs? EMDR therapy can reframe core beliefs, release past experiences, and build lasting self-worth and confidence.
Start EMDR Today

At Embodied Wellness Center in Chicago, our therapists create a safe, supportive space for EMDR sessions. We know that starting trauma therapy can feel overwhelming, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

We combine EMDR with other therapeutic modalities like mindfulness, somatic therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when helpful. This integrative approach ensures you not only heal from the past but also gain tools to manage stress and feel more grounded in your daily life.

In our most recent newsletter, we discuss the idea of subtraction. In today’s modern world, we deal with constant overconsumption and overstimulation. When we’re stressed or burnt out, we often think the solution lies in adding something, and while these may be well-intentioned efforts, sometimes what we truly need is to subtract: create space by doing less. So, what can you subtract from your week this week?

Practicing one mindfully is one of the simplest ways to feel calmer and more present. It’s the art of doing one thing at a time with your full attention. When your mind wants to jump ahead or multitask, gently bring yourself back to what you’re actually doing in that moment. Small, steady presence adds up. . . . #dbtskills #onemindfully #mindfulnesspractice #emotionregulation #mentalhealthtips #anxietyrelief #stressreduction #somatictherapy #mindbodyconnection #presentmoment #mindfulliving #therapytools #wellnessjourney #selfcompassion #holistichealing
