Find healing through EMDR therapy in NYC
Healing from trauma is possible. EMDR therapy helps your brain naturally process difficult experiences so they no longer trigger overwhelming emotions. Instead of staying stuck in cycles of fear, sadness, or guilt, you can begin to move forward with greater confidence and calm.
Through online EMDR sessions, you can experience the same benefits of in-person therapy from the comfort and privacy of your home. Many clients notice reduced emotional intensity, fewer intrusive memories, improved sleep, and overall better mental health after just a few sessions.
How can EMDR therapy help you?
EMDR therapy helps your brain naturally reprocess painful experiences so they no longer cause distress or block your emotional growth. By working with Linda Edwards, a certified EMDR therapist, you can begin to release the emotional weight of the past and restore a greater sense of calm, clarity, and self-confidence.
Clients often notice reduced anxiety, better sleep, and an improved ability to manage daily stress. EMDR therapy is effective for a wide range of emotional challenges and trauma-related conditions, including:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias
- Depression linked to unresolved trauma
- Grief and complicated loss
- Low self-esteem and negative self-beliefs
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Relationship or attachment trauma
- Chronic stress and burnout
Whether you are struggling with unresolved trauma, ongoing anxiety, or emotional pain that feels hard to shake, EMDR therapy provides a structured, evidence-based path to healing and emotional freedom.
How does EMDR therapy work?
EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue. Instead, it focuses on helping your brain process unhealed memories and restore its natural balance. This approach allows emotional healing to happen safely and efficiently, often in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy.
The EMDR process works by engaging areas of the brain involved in emotional regulation such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. When trauma remains unresolved, the nervous system can stay stuck in a fight, flight, or freeze response, making it difficult to feel calm or present. EMDR helps your brain reprocess these experiences so that the memory remains, but the emotional charge and physical stress are significantly reduced.
A typical online EMDR process includes:
History & Assessment – Identifying the core memories and triggers that need attention.
Preparation – Learning grounding and emotional regulation techniques for safety.
Desensitization – Processing targeted memories while using bilateral stimulation.
Installation – Strengthening positive, adaptive beliefs.
Body Scan & Closure – Ensuring emotional and physical calm at session’s end.
Re-evaluation – Reviewing progress and setting new therapeutic goals.
Even in an online format, EMDR therapy helps your brain reprocess distressing experiences so they lose their emotional intensity. You still remember what happened, but the fear or anxiety linked to it fades, allowing you to move forward with greater calm and confidence.
