EMDR, short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a highly structured therapy technique that facilitates patients to briefly focus on their traumatic memories while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation, often in the form of eye movements. This unique approach has been found to reduce the intensity and emotional impact associated with traumatic memories. Extensive research has established EMDR therapy as an effective psychotherapeutic method for aiding individuals in recovering from trauma and alleviating symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Although our team of clinicians are not certified in EMDR, they have been trained by group practice owner, Zina Ortiz. Zina Ortiz has been practicing and is certified since 2014. A committed therapist will take the steps to master her skillset to provide the best therapy available. There are many levels of training and the majority of professionals complete a few trainings. Zina Ortiz takes great care in the training of her clinicians to provide to our clients a high level of clinical care.
