Process what feels stuck at the root.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an evidence-based psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain process distressing experiences.
EMDR works differently from traditional talk therapy.
Trauma can affect how distressing memories are stored and how the emotional and rational parts of the brain communicate. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, while a trained clinician helps you work through targeted experiences in a structured way.
Over time, memories may become less distressing and feel more integrated. WWG uses EMDR as part of trauma-focused care for children, adolescents, and adults when clinically appropriate.
EMDR can be paced around safety, readiness, resourcing, and your specific treatment goals.
EMDR may be used in treatment for:
- Traumatic or distressing life events
- PTSD
- Anxiety and panic
- Depression
- Addiction
- Eating disorders
- Other trauma-related symptoms
EMDR Intensives
For clients looking for concentrated trauma processing, WWG also offers longer-format intensive sessions designed to reduce the start-stop pattern of weekly appointments.

The consultation helps identify what is affecting you now, what feels unresolved, and whether an intensive format is a good match for your goals.
