EMDR Therapy in Phoenix & Scottsdale
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy used to help people process trauma. At American Mental Health Centers (AMHC), we offer EMDR Therapy in Phoenix & Scottsdale to support your mental health and help you overcome difficult experiences. Our experienced therapists are here to guide you through the process and help you heal.
EMDR Therapy is designed to help your brain process traumatic memories so that they no longer cause distress. During therapy, your therapist will guide you through a series of eye movements while you focus on specific memories. This process helps your brain reprocess the trauma, making it less painful and easier to manage.
EMDR works by helping your brain reprocess traumatic memories. When you experience trauma, your brain may have difficulty processing the event, leading to symptoms like flashbacks or anxiety. Eye Movement Therapy helps your brain reprocess these memories so that they no longer cause distress. This can reduce symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
