Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy approach that helps people process distressing memories and experiences. Using bilateral stimulation—often eye movements—EMDR supports the brain's natural healing process, helping reduce the emotional charge of difficult memories. It's widely used for trauma, anxiety, and other concerns.

On First Session, you can browse therapists who offer EMDR and watch their intro videos to get a sense of their approach. All therapists have their credentials verified during onboarding. Whether you prefer online or in-person sessions, you can book directly or request a free consultation to find the right match.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that helps you process distressing memories. During sessions, you focus on a troubling memory while experiencing bilateral stimulation, typically guided eye movements. This process appears to help the brain reprocess memories so they become less distressing. EMDR follows an eight-phase protocol developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro.

How can EMDR help?

Many people find EMDR helpful for processing traumatic experiences, reducing symptoms of PTSD, and addressing anxiety, phobias, and grief. It can support you in working through memories that feel stuck or overwhelming without requiring extensive discussion of the details. EMDR is recognized by major health organizations as an effective approach for trauma-related concerns.

What happens in an EMDR session?

EMDR sessions typically begin with preparation and history-taking before processing work begins. During reprocessing, you'll focus on a specific memory while following your therapist's fingers or another form of bilateral stimulation. You may notice thoughts, feelings, or body sensations arise as the memory is processed. Sessions usually last 60-90 minutes. Learn more about EMDR exercises and techniques.

How do I find an EMDR therapist?

On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who offer EMDR. Each therapist has a profile with an intro video so you can get a sense of their approach. You can book a session directly online or request a free consultation first. All therapists on the platform have their credentials verified during onboarding.

Is EMDR right for me?

EMDR may be a good fit if you have distressing memories that feel unresolved, symptoms of trauma, or want an approach that doesn't require extensive verbal processing. It's helpful for those who feel stuck in certain experiences. Consider booking a consultation with a therapist to discuss your specific situation and whether EMDR might suit your needs.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Browse EMDR therapists on First Session and watch their intro videos to find someone whose approach resonates with you. Once you've found a match, you can book your first session directly online. Many therapists offer a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to connect first.
