EMDR

Trauma Treatment and Healing in Virginia Beach

An evidence-based approach for healing trauma and distressing memories. Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) helps the brain process painful experiences so you can move forward with greater peace and resilience.

  • Who can benefit?

    EMDR is a specialized therapy that can help adults process and heal from past trauma, distressing memories, or overwhelming life experiences. It’s effective for anxiety, PTSD, grief, and other emotional challenges where traditional talk therapy alone may not be enough. EMDR helps you reprocess difficult experiences safely, reducing their intensity and impact, so you can move forward with greater clarity and emotional balance.

  • What should I expect?

    EMDR sessions are structured, safe, and collaborative. Your therapist will guide you through techniques designed to help you process distressing memories and experiences at a manageable pace. You’ll remain in control throughout, while gently working to reduce the intensity of difficult emotions and beliefs. EMDR often involves brief periods of focused attention, such as guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, to support your brain’s natural healing process. Over time, clients often notice greater emotional clarity, reduced stress, and increased resilience.

  • What is the cost?

    We believe therapy should be accessible and transparent. We accept Sentara and Anthem (BCBS) insurance plans, including both commercial and Medicaid coverage. For those paying out of pocket, self-pay rates are $200 per 60-minute session with a licensed clinician and $100 per 60-minute session with a resident in counseling.

  • Who can I schedule with?

    Schedule an intake appointment with Rebecca or Holli to explore whether EMDR fits your needs. The session is collaborative, informative, and can be scheduled completely online.
