EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help you heal and process trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and other distress. 

 

At Trish Unruh Counselling in Oakville, I help clients process painful memories so they can move forward with greater peace and resilience.  In-person and online sessions are available, and free 15-minute initial consultations. 

​

People who benefit most are those who:​

• Are open to therapy and willing to explore memories

• Experience distress tied to specific memories or experiences

• Want a structured approach that doesn't require retelling every detail

​​

EMDR can help with:

• PTSD - abuse survivors, accident survivors, and other trauma-related symptoms

• Complex-PTSD and Childhood Trauma - individuals with repeated or prolonged exposure to trauma such as childhood abuse or neglect

• Anxiety Disorders - general, phobias, and performance anxiety

• Depression - especially when linked to past experiences

• Grief  - complicated or prolonged grief following the death of a loved one or significant loss

• Low self esteem and negative beliefs - EMDR can target the root beliefs that formed the negative self-concept

• Medical trauma - people who have experienced traumatic medical procedures or chronic illness
