EMDR Therapy for Adults & Young Adults in Denver and New York (Telehealth)

EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain and body process distressing experiences that feel “stuck.” I offer online EMDR therapy for adults and young adults in Denver, Colorado and New York, supporting clients who feel impacted by past experiences, persistent anxiety, or negative beliefs about themselves.

Many people seek EMDR when insight alone hasn’t been enough—and when they’re ready for deeper, lasting change.

It is a structured, research-backed therapy that helps the nervous system safely reprocess traumatic or distressing experiences so they no longer feel emotionally overwhelming.

When something difficult happens, the brain doesn’t always fully process it. Instead, the memory can remain “stuck,” continuing to trigger anxiety, fear, or self-doubt long after the event has passed. EMDR helps the brain resume its natural ability to process and integrate these experiences.

A helpful way to think about EMDR is like how the body heals a physical wound. When conditions are safe, the body knows how to heal itself. EMDR creates the conditions for the brain and nervous system to do the same—move toward resolution rather than avoidance.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

Who Might Benefit from EMDR Therapy?

  • Experienced a traumatic or distressing past event
  • Feel emotionally “stuck” despite understanding what happened
  • Struggle with a specific fear, phobia, or anxiety response
  • Notice persistent negative beliefs such as “I’m not safe,” “I’m not good enough,” or “Something is wrong with me”
  • Feel triggered by reminders of the past without fully knowing why
  • Experience strong emotional or physical reactions that feel out of proportion

EMDR therapy can be helpful for both single-event trauma and ongoing emotional experiences, such as relational wounds, chronic stress, or early attachment wounds.

You may be a good candidate for EMDR therapy if you:

Before processing begins, we focus on:

  • Building coping tools and nervous system regulation
  • Establishing a sense of safety and trust
  • Identifying target memories, emotions, or beliefs

When you’re ready, EMDR involves gently bringing attention to a distressing memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation—such as alternating sounds or tapping. This stimulation helps both sides of the brain communicate, allowing the memory to be reprocessed rather than relived.

You are never asked to go into anything you’re not ready for. EMDR does not require detailed retelling of traumatic events, and you remain present and in control throughout the process.

What Does EMDR Therapy Look Like?

EMDR follows a structured and collaborative process that always prioritizes safety and pacing.

EMDR can be highly effective in virtual therapy. During online sessions, bilateral stimulation is typically provided through:

How EMDR Works in Telehealth Sessions

  • Alternating audio tones
  • Guided tapping
  • Visual cues when appropriate

Telehealth EMDR allows you to engage in the process from the comfort and safety of your own space, which many clients find grounding and supportive.


Rather than avoiding distressing memories, EMDR helps you safely bring awareness to them, allowing the brain and body to naturally move toward resolution. Over time, clients often notice:

How EMDR Supports Healing

  • Reduced emotional intensity around past experiences
  • Fewer triggers and anxiety responses
  • Shifts in negative self-beliefs
  • Increased sense of calm, clarity, and emotional resilience

The memory doesn’t disappear—but it no longer feels like it’s happening in the present.

EMDR is always integrated thoughtfully and may be combined with talk therapy, somatic interventions, mindfulness, or CBT depending on your needs. Not every session involves processing; therapy is paced intentionally and guided by your nervous system.
