EMDR Therapy

Healing from Trauma with EMDR Therapy at A Road Through

Trauma has a way of lingering long after the event has passed. Whether it was a sudden, life-altering experience or the slow erosion of feeling unloved or unsafe over time, trauma often leaves a deep imprint on the mind and body. At A Road Through, we offer EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) both in person and online to help you move toward healing, relief, and a renewed sense of peace.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR is a highly effective, research-backed therapy designed to help people process and heal from traumatic experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (often gentle eye movements, sounds, or tapping) to help the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming or intrusive.

Many people describe EMDR as a way of “unsticking” what feels frozen in time—allowing you to finally move forward.

What Can EMDR Therapy Help With?

One of the most powerful aspects of EMDR is its ability to help with a wide range of trauma, including:

• Single-event trauma such as an assault, accident, injury, or natural disaster.

• Complex trauma that builds over time, such as surviving an emotionally abusive relationship, experiencing neglect, or growing up feeling unloved or unseen.

• Ongoing stressors that may not fit the traditional definition of trauma but still carry heavy emotional weight, like workplace burnout, painful breakups, or feeling “never good enough.”

EMDR therapy can help you release the weight of these experiences, so you can feel more grounded, safe, and connected in the present.

What EMDR Therapy Feels Like

While each session looks a little different depending on your needs, EMDR therapy is structured, supportive, and deeply collaborative. You’ll never be asked to relive your trauma in detail. Instead, we gently guide your mind to process memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge.

Clients often report feeling lighter, calmer, and more present after EMDR sessions—like the past no longer has such a strong hold on them.

EMDR Therapy Online & In Person

At A Road Through, we believe healing should be accessible and flexible. That’s why we offer EMDR both in our Los Angeles office and through secure online therapy sessions. Online EMDR can be just as effective as in-person therapy and can be especially supportive if you want to heal from the comfort of your own space.

Is EMDR Therapy Right for You?

If you’ve tried to “move on” from painful experiences but still feel triggered, stuck, or weighed down by the past, EMDR may be a powerful next step. You don’t need to go through this alone—our compassionate therapists are here to walk alongside you at every stage of your healing journey.
