EMDR therapy, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, is a type of therapy that is specifically designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma. It is based on the idea that trauma affects the way the brain processes and stores information, and that by using specific techniques and interventions, it is possible to help the brain heal and recover from the effects of trauma.
During EMDR therapy, the therapist will use a variety of techniques, such as guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, to help the individual process and integrate their traumatic memories. This can help reduce the intensity of the memories and the associated distress, and can promote healing and recovery.

I have been struggling to bring myself to therapy for several years. Starting and finding a therapist can be very exhausting and scary process but Nicole was super approachable, upfront, and made me feel at ease about my decision. While I am still early in the process and have had a few sessions, starting was well worth it and Nicole has been really helpful on my journey.
I’m so glad I came across Amplify during my search for a new therapist. I just wanted a new perspective on life and to work through my personal struggles and Nicole was so easy to talk to. She was solution focused and her great sense of humor made me feel right at home. I feel like i finally gained the strength to work through past and present challenges. Its nice to know that she is just as committed as i am to making sure my mental health experience is flexible yet progressive.
I’ve been working with Nicole for few months now and all I have to say is she is truly amazing! She really listens to what I say and shows empathy towards my feelings. Throughout the whole process of self discovery, Nicole hasn’t pressured me and allowed me to choose the journey I want to take. I love working with Nicole and I have no plans of stopping any time soon!
