Trauma Counseling with MDR

At Align Counseling and Consulting, we offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as part of our trauma transition counseling services. EMDR is a highly effective therapy that helps individuals process and resolve traumatic memories. By focusing on traumatic memories while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity associated with these memories and promote healing.
