EMDR Therapy in Marin County: What to Expect (Corte Madera & Telehealth)

If you’re looking for EMDR therapy in Marin County, you may be wondering what EMDR is, who it can help, and what sessions are like. This overview is meant to help you feel oriented and supported as you explore next steps.

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy approach that helps the brain process distressing memories and experiences so they feel less activating in the present.

What EMDR can help with

• Trauma and PTSD symptoms

• Anxiety and panic

• Disturbing memories that feel ‘stuck’

• Negative beliefs about yourself (e.g., ‘I’m not safe’, ‘I’m not good enough’)

What an EMDR session is like

EMDR is typically paced carefully. We start by building safety and stability, clarifying goals, and identifying the experiences you want to work on. When you’re ready, we use bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) while you notice thoughts, emotions, and body sensations—without having to relive everything in detail.

In-person in Corte Madera or telehealth
