What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help people process traumatic memories and distressing life events. Whether you're in downtown Peabody, the surrounding neighborhoods, or anywhere in Massachusetts, our virtual EMDR sessions make healing accessible from the comfort of your own space.

Conditions We Treat in Peabody

EMDR therapy is effective for a wide range of mental health concerns. Residents of Peabody seek our services for:

PTSD & Trauma

Process traumatic memories from accidents, abuse, loss, or other life-changing events. EMDR helps reduce flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance.

Anxiety Disorders

Whether you're experiencing generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or phobias, EMDR can help you address the root causes and find lasting relief.

Depression

EMDR helps process the negative beliefs and painful experiences that contribute to depression, helping you rebuild hope and self-worth.
