EMDR therapy, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process traumatic memories and distressing experiences that continue to affect daily life. If you feel stuck in patterns of fear, overwhelm, or emotional reactivity after trauma, EMDR may help you move toward relief and greater stability. At Chicago Psychology Services, EMDR is offered as part of a broader, trauma-informed treatment approach.
EMDR helps the brain process memories that feel unprocessed or emotionally charged. During treatment, your therapist guides you through a structured process that supports both stabilization and trauma processing. EMDR may be integrated with DBT-informed skills, somatic strategies, mindfulness, or other therapies depending on your needs.
At Chicago Psychology Services, EMDR is offered within a broader, integrative treatment framework. Christy Foushee provides EMDR as part of trauma-informed, individualized care. For clients with complex trauma, dissociation, or chronic pain, treatment can be integrated with mindfulness-based strategies and other evidence-based approaches when helpful.
In EMDR, we don’t just talk about difficult experiences—we help your brain reprocess them in a way that reduces their emotional intensity. Many clients notice that memories that once felt overwhelming begin to feel more distant, manageable, and less disruptive to daily life. This process happens at your pace, with a strong emphasis on safety, grounding, and maintaining a sense of control throughout each session. Whether you’re dealing with long-standing trauma or more recent stressors, EMDR can support meaningful shifts in how you think, feel, and respond—helping you move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

EMDR is most commonly used for trauma, PTSD, and distressing memories, but it can also help with anxiety, panic, and negative beliefs rooted in difficult experiences.
Not always. EMDR does not require you to describe every detail of what happened in order to begin processing.
In some cases, yes. We can discuss whether in-person or telehealth EMDR is the best fit for your needs.
