EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Stokan and Associates provide EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support the brain’s natural healing from trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based psychotherapy that helps the brain naturally heal from the emotions and distress linked to traumatic or stressful experiences.
Using standardized eight-phase protocols—including bilateral stimulation such as guided eye movements, tapping, or tones—EMDR enables the reprocessing of past memories, reduces their emotional intensity, and replaces negative beliefs with healthier perspectives. EMDR is widely recognized by organizations like the American Psychiatric Association, WHO, and Department of Defense.
