Serving Nashville with Specialized EMDR Therapy

Nashville Therapist

Past, recent, and on-going trauma can impact every area of your life. Whether you want to move on from the past or get through whatever recently happened, trauma can leave wounds and scars that are difficult to heal without help. If you’re here, you probably don’t want to feel upset, burdened, triggered, depressed, or anxious anymore.

At EMDR Therapy Nashville, we provide evidence-based, effective, and efficient EMDR therapy. With EMDR we help you integrate and move past trauma, whether it’s recent, from earlier in adulthood, or from childhood. We believe that your system has the innate capacity to heal and move past trauma - however sometimes it just needs a little help and that’s where our highly trained therapists come in.

Our trauma therapists use the science-backed method of EMDR to help people who experience PTSD and trauma including interpersonal violence, sexual assault, childhood trauma, and complex trauma.

Throughout our treatment process, we partner with you to work towards your goals. That can be working through PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, interpersonal or life issues caused by trauma, phobias, or other life challenges.

We want to invite you to reach out to learn more about EMDR therapy and it’s benefits. This can be a huge step towards empowering you to make the changes you want in life and reclaiming agency from constant or persistent triggers.

Trauma Therapy

EMDR Therapy Nashville specializes in offering EMDR, however our highly trained therapists also offer other approaches in conjunction with EMDR including Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy. EMDR is the gold standard treatment for trauma and PTSD, but other options can help support the EMDR process, or for some they may be a better fit.

The past affects the present even without our being aware of it. EMDR enables us to bring healing to those past events, allowing individuals to live more fully in the present
