"Healing Through EMDR Therapy: How Desta Therapy's Clinicians Use This Scientifically Supported Approach for Trauma Treatment"

EMDR involves the use of technology to assist the brain in processing and integrating difficult memories, thoughts, and emotions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a scientifically supported approach often used for the treatment of trauma and other mental health concerns. At Desta Therapy, EMDR is offered by trained clinicians, including Nichole McDaniel, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Bethany Hofman, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, who specialize in using this method to help clients heal and find peace.

EMDR involves the use of technology to assist the brain in processing and integrating difficult memories, thoughts, and emotions. Preparation for EMDR begins with a thorough personal history and an exploration of negative beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. Along the way, Nichole McDaniel or Bethany Hofman will work with you to introduce new coping strategies that you can begin applying immediately.

The processing phase of EMDR involves bilateral stimulation (stimulating each side of the body), which can be delivered through various technology options, including light stimulation, handheld pulsators, and sound stimulation. These tools are designed to offer you the most comfortable experience possible while supporting your brain’s ability to work through challenging thoughts and emotions. Nichole McDaniel or Bethany Hofman will be by your side, guiding you through difficult experiences, helping you work toward greater emotional freedom.

Clients report that EMDR helps them find peace with both past and present experiences, allowing for healing of negative beliefs and emotions that once held them back. EMDR creates a supportive, structured space for processing difficult experiences, empowering you to move forward with greater clarity and confidence toward your best life.
