What Is EMDR Therapy And How Can It Help?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an empirically-based, research-driven intervention for treating trauma, PTSD, and a range of related symptoms and conditions.
Unlike traditional counseling, EMDR therapy doesn’t always require individuals to discuss in detail their painful experiences. Rather it focuses on using the brain’s natural capacity to heal itself by rewiring negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to the traumatic experience. EMDR therapy provides a comprehensive, eight-phase approach to healing on a psychological, physical, and emotional level.
Since its development in 1987 by Dr. Francine Shapiro, EMDR has become the premier method of resolving both mild to severe cases of trauma and PTSD. The World Health Organization (WHO), The American Psychiatric Association (APA), the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs, as well as the US Dept. of Defense all recognize EMDR’s effectiveness.
Why Does Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy Work?
Trauma puts the limbic system of your brain into a state of high alert, locking you into a fight-or-flight fear response. Usually, this response can be beneficial, protecting us from danger. However, a traumatic experience freezes that moment in time so that the limbic system stays in overdrive trying to deal with a threat that has already passed.
EMDR therapy in Miami, FL uses rapid eye movements, physical tapping, or alternating sounds to stimulate both hemispheres of the brain similar to how REM sleep (our dream state) works. This bilateral stimulation awakens the logical part of your brain that has been dormant, subject to the will of the limbic system. The result enables you to look at your experience through the eyes of an observer—to see that you are stronger than the symptoms that have long been integrated into the way you navigate the world.
Working with an EMDR therapist helps empowers you to face difficult, uncomfortable experiences in a safe way, and in the process rewrite the negative narrative of your life into one of strength and survival.
Meet Nicole, YOur EMDR Therapist
“I am trained in using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Trauma-Focused strategies. When working with clients who have experienced trauma, my focus is on proceeding at the right pace. There is no rushing when it comes to trauma processing, emphasizing the importance of communication to ensure clients feel in control. There will be days where the trauma will be the main focus and other days where a good venting session is needed. Both approaches can contribute to significant progress in therapy.”

I really wanna work with one of your therapists. What options do I have if you don’t accept my insurance?
If you wanna work if us but we don’t take your insurance, you have two options. You can 1. do it yourself or use 2. Mentaya to process your out of pocket reimbursement. See instructions below:
Do it yourself: Please call your insurance and ask for your out-of-network benefits. They typically reimburse for 50-80% of our fee. Oftentimes, it ends up costing you similar to going in-network. When you decide to use your out of network benefits, you pay our practice for every session and we give you a statement at the end of every month. You then submit that statement to your insurance and they send you the reimbursement check.
Use Mentaya: We can submit claims on your behalf through Mentaya. Mentaya is a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year. You can sign up using this link. If you’re interested in taking advantage of this service, please let our intake coordinator know. Note: Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and Psych Blossom does not benefit in any way from your participation.
