How is EMDR different from traditional talk therapy?

While traditional therapy focuses on discussion and coping, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to directly address the stored memory of a traumatic event. It works on the neurological level to reprocess the memory so it loses its emotional charge.

EMDR Therapy - Bona Fide Psychotherapy & Counselling

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy is an evidence-based approach proven to help individuals effectively process and recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences. At Bona Fide Psychotherapy & Counselling, we utilize this specialized modality to help you move past what's holding you back. EMDR helps the brain's natural healing process to reduce the intensity of memories that trigger emotional and physical distress. Our founder, Jessica Pino, holds the distinction of being an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, which reflects our deep expertise and commitment to the highest standards of EMDR practice.

When a traumatic event occurs, the memory can become "stuck" in the nervous system, leading to symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and emotional distress. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess these memories, allowing them to be stored in a way that is less disruptive to your daily life. This therapy is not just about coping; it’s about resolving the core issues. We use this strength-based approach to empower you to build confidence and resilience to handle challenges. We create a non-judgmental and validating space for this deep therapeutic work.

In addition to providing EMDR Therapy for clients, we offer specialized EMDR Consultation services. This support is available for therapists seeking supervision and guidance as they work toward certification or wish to enhance their confidence in the EMDR modality. This commitment to the professional community underscores our authority in this specialized area and ensures we are always at the forefront of best practices. Our dedication to our own professional growth, and that of others, directly translates into the highest quality of care for our clients.

The EMDR process involves working with your therapist in a series of phases. Initially, we focus on history-taking and preparing you with coping skills for emotional regulation. Next comes the desensitization phase, where bilateral stimulation is used while you focus on the troubling memory. This process helps to naturally integrate and resolve the memory. We offer a holistic approach that honors your mind and body throughout this transformative process. We are here to guide you every step of the way, meeting you wherever you are on your journey.

EMDR is highly effective for individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, as well as those struggling with anxiety, grief, and PTSD. If you are looking for a powerful, evidence-based modality to help you get to the root of your struggles, EMDR may be the answer. During your free 15-minute consultation, we can discuss your history and goals to determine if EMDR Therapy is the right fit for your personalized treatment plan. Our collaborative approach ensures that your plan is tailored to your unique needs.
