What Makes EMDR Different?
Many people arrive at EMDR after talk therapy. Insight and support matter, but some memories stay "stuck" and keep resurfacing as anxiety, avoidance or tension. EMDR works with the brain's natural ability to process difficult experiences — and you don't have to describe painful events in detail to begin.

Free Consultation
A relaxed 15-minute phone or video call where you share what's bringing you to therapy, ask any questions, and get a sense of how Arolyn works. There's no obligation — it's simply a conversation.
Is EMDR Right for You?
Arolyn carefully reviews your history, current symptoms, and the coping resources you have in place to determine whether EMDR is a suitable approach for your situation. If something else would serve you better, she'll tell you honestly and recommend it.
Preparation Before Processing
Before any memory processing begins, you'll build trust and learn grounding and self-calming techniques so you feel steady and in control. Processing only starts when you're ready — and you set the pace throughout.
