EMDR for PTSD
EMDR helps the brain process stuck trauma memories. You stay present while recalling parts of the event. Guided eye movements or taps support the brain’s natural healing.
Over time, the memory loses its sharp edge. The event remains true, but the pain softens. Many people notice relief in sleep, triggers, and self-belief.
EMDR works well alongside coping skills and body-based tools.
Skills That Support Healing
- Grounding to stay present during triggers
- Breathing and muscle release to calm the body
- Emotion regulation and distress tolerance
- Thought tracking and reframing
- Healthy boundaries and communication skills
We will tailor tools to fit your life. Practice between sessions builds confidence.
What to Expect in Therapy
First, we learn your story and your goals. We build safety and coping skills before trauma work. You choose what to share and when.
We set a plan together. We check in often and adjust as needed. You lead the pace.
Sessions are private, kind, and focused on your needs.
Care for Parents and Families
Trauma affects the whole family system. We offer parent coaching and family work when helpful. These sessions can increase safety, support, and skills at home.
Please note: we do not perform home studies or give custody recommendations for court.
Telehealth Across Texas
You can meet from home or work by video. We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform through SimplePractice. Rates and policies match in-person care.
You do not need to live near Pearland to join telehealth. We serve clients anywhere in Texas.
