How EMDR Therapy Works: Navigating Your Journey

Welcome to your journey towards healing and God's perfect peace. If you’re searching for effective “EMDR therapy near me”, our faith-based approach offers personalized support to help you process traumatic memories. In this section, we'll explore what you can expect during your faith-infused EMDR therapy experience. Picture it as setting sail on the open waters, guided by your faith-filled compass.

You Will Learn:

During our sessions, you will learn how to navigate the memories that anchor you in the past, much like a ship anchored in a harbor. These memories might be the very ones causing distress and preventing you from fully embracing the peace that God offers. Together, we'll work through these memories, untangling their grip on your present and future.

Our intensive therapy sessions, which can be 3 hours, 5 hours, or even a week long, allow us to dive deep into your present struggles.

We'll trace them back to their triggers in the past, uncovering the roots of your distress. EMDR for PTSD triggers helps you learn to manage and reduce the intensity of sudden reminders, guiding you toward a sense of peace and control. Then, we'll equip you with the tools and strategies you need to face what worries you about the future. Our EMDR treatment for anxiety and depression can provide lasting relief by helping you reframe how your mind responds to distressing thoughts and emotions.

It's essential to know that perfect peace is not just a metaphor—it's a tangible place we can reach with faith and guidance. Our Perfect Peace Resource Center will be your lighthouse, offering valuable resources and support along your journey.

  • EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy approach that harnesses the power of our brain's natural healing processes. Think of it like this: when we sleep, our brain engages in Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, which is a time when it processes and sorts through the events of the day. This processing often helps us feel better and more balanced when we wake up. However, for some distressing events, the natural healing process doesn't work as effectively, and these memories can remain lodged in our minds and bodies.

    EMDR steps in as a way to assist in this natural healing. During EMDR sessions, we use bilateral stimulation, often through eye movements, to activate the brain's innate ability to process and heal. This can be compared to a deep cleanse for your mind and body. We help you access these distressing memories, process them, and release the associated emotional burdens. It's like removing the obstacles that have been blocking your path to God's perfect peace.

    In essence, EMDR therapy helps you flush out the distressing events that haven't been resolved by your brain's natural processes, allowing you to move forward on your journey to healing and renewal. It's a powerful tool that can lead to profound transformations in your life.

    Our trauma healing therapy uses EMDR to help you process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.

  • We do not accept health insurance as a payment method for our services. Through years of experience, we have found that the most effective approach for serving our clients involves specialized coaching and intensive programs. Unfortunately, these services are typically not covered by insurance providers.

    It's important to note that insurance generally does not cover coaching, and for counseling services, it often only covers the first hour of an intensive session for which they may reimburse you.

    If you have questions about your insurance coverage, we recommend reaching out to your insurance provider directly. Here are some useful questions you can ask them:

    Do I have a mental or behavioral health policy that includes out-of-network benefits? What is the coverage amount per therapy session? How much does my insurance reimburse for services provided by an out-of-network provider? Could you please confirm the reimbursement rates for CPT code 90837? Do I have an out-of-network deductible, and if so, how much of it has already been met? What is the start date of the calendar year that my out-of-network policy is based on? What is my patient responsibility (copay) for each session? Does my plan include coverage for extended sessions beyond 60 minutes, and if so, what is the coverage, and which CPT codes should my therapist use for these sessions?

    We recommend contacting the phone number provided on the back of your insurance card to speak directly with your insurance provider. This will help you gain a better understanding of your insurance's reimbursement policies and how they may apply to the services we offer.
