EMDR Helps You Heal What Talking Alone Can’t Reach
You’ve unpacked your patterns. You’ve journaled, maybe even tried therapy before. But some things still persist like chronic tension, emotional shutdown, or a lingering sense of shame that won’t let go.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps reprocess distressing or unresolved experiences that still affect how you think, feel, and react in the present.
Using detailed protocols and bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping), EMDR helps the brain create distance from past events, release emotional intensity, and shift the beliefs tied to those experiences often without needing to retell the story in detail.
Rather than managing symptoms, EMDR North Vancouver works with how your system has stored trauma or overwhelm and helps unlock your brain’s natural ability to process and heal.
Backed by over three decades of research and endorsed by the World Health Organization and American Psychological Association, EMDR is one of the most effective therapies for trauma, anxiety, grief, and emotional triggers.

Relational Wounds and Childhood Conditioning
If you grew up having to manage others’ emotions or suppress your own, EMDR can help shift the deep-rooted beliefs that still shape how you connect, protect, or people-please as an adult.
What EMDR Can Help With
EMDR can be effective for a wide range of experiences, especially if you're someone who tends to stay “in your head,” push through, or downplay your emotional responses.
Trauma: Critical Incidents, Medical, or Interpersonal
Whether it’s a single event or years of cumulative stress, EMDR helps reprocess trauma in a way that’s safe, contained, and doesn’t require endless retelling of your story.
High-Functioning Anxiety & Internal Pressure
For those who appear composed but feel constantly on edge. EMDR helps loosen the perfectionism, urgency, and emotional overdrive that can come from years of being the “responsible one.”
Feeling Stuck — Even After Doing the Work
You’ve done therapy. You’ve read the books. You understand your patterns — but they keep showing up. EMDR works at the level where those patterns live: your nervous system.
Success, Burnout & Emotional Overload
You don’t have to sacrifice yourself to succeed. Learn to protect your energy, and define balance on your own terms.
Grief, Shame & Emotional Triggers
When big emotions catch you off guard or feel disproportionate, EMDR can help clear the backlog of unprocessed pain — gently and with clarity.
Integration and Closure
You’ll leave each session grounded. We track emotional shifts, strengthen new beliefs about yourself, and build the capacity for more ease, clarity, and resilience.
The EMDR Process — What to Expect
EMDR is a structured, step-by-step therapy tailored to your needs and guided with expert, trauma-informed care and moving at your pace. Here’s what it looks like in practice.
Foundation and Safety
We begin by building calm, containment, and self-trust creating a strong internal foundation so you feel supported and resourced before going deeper.
Treatment Planning
Together, we identify the memories, beliefs, or body responses that hold emotional charge often tied to early experiences that still impact how you feel today.
EMDR has been shown to resolve issues in shorter sessions than talk therapy.
Bilateral Stimulation (BLS)
Using eye movements, tapping, or sound, we help the brain reprocess unresolved experiences releasing the emotional intensity held in your system.
EMDR Intensives
