Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR) Therapy
EMDR is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences. The counselor works with the client to identify distressing experiences.
The EMDR therapy process works to reduce the distress associated with traumatic experiences. This approach is used for both specific past experiences, as well as those experiencing trauma responses with substance or alcohol use disorders.
If you have been diagnosed with PTSD, depression, or anxiety or have tried other therapy routes with little success, EMDR may be a good option.
We use EMDR and other treatments to help you manage your mental health needs. Check out the other services we offer here.

The Benefits of Choosing The Walker Center’s EMDR Therapy for Addiction Recovery
If you’re struggling with addiction, you need a clinic to help you address the disease’s root causes rather than detoxing you for a month before sending you on your way. That’s why we stand out from other centers. We understand that if the underlying trauma is not addressed, then there is little hope of you achieving sustainable recovery.
EMDR can help you to address and treat underlying trauma, which is why it forms a core part of our addiction treatment program. EMDR can help you remove the negative impact of your past trauma and reframe negative thoughts to decrease self-destructive behaviors.
By choosing our clinic, you will get access to an individualized program and evidence-based treatments to help you achieve lasting sobriety and mental health. Reach out to us to learn more.
