Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Learn more about how EMDR aims to treat trauma in a non-invasive way.

A Path to Healing and Emotional Wellness

At Balansera Therapy Group, we offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a highly effective, evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help individuals heal from traumatic experiences and emotional distress. EMDR is a structured, non-invasive approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy by targeting the underlying neurological patterns of distress. This allows for faster and often more profound healing, especially for those who have struggled to find relief through conventional therapeutic methods.


Unlike traditional talk therapy, which relies primarily on verbal processing, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—often through guided eye movements—to help the brain reprocess painful memories in a safe and supported way. This approach empowers clients to release stuck emotional responses, reframe negative beliefs, and develop healthier, more adaptive perspectives. 


At Balansera, our trained EMDR clinicians create a compassionate and structured environment where clients can process emotional wounds at their own pace. Through this innovative and deeply healing method, individuals are supported in restoring a sense of balance, resilience, and inner peace.

Why Choose EMDR?

EMDR offers a unique and highly effective approach to healing emotional wounds, especially for those who have experienced trauma or struggle with traditional therapeutic methods. Unlike conventional talk therapy, which relies mainly on verbal processing, EMDR directly targets the underlying neurological patterns of distress, leading to faster and more profound healing. This structured, non-invasive therapy helps reframe negative thoughts, beliefs, and emotions linked to past experiences, allowing clients to move past stuck emotional responses. With its ability to promote deep emotional healing and restore balance, EMDR is an excellent choice for those seeking a more dynamic and efficient path to recovery, particularly when other forms of therapy haven’t provided the desired results.

WHY CHOOSE BALANSERA?

Client Testimonials

Balansera Therapy Group has been amazing for me and my personal growth. I am not the same person I was when I first started attending sessions here. Sadie and her other practitioners are very skilled at resolving trauma and other emotional issues...The sessions are totally mind blowing some times and I'm amazed at how far I've come from them. EMDR helped me more than any other therapy ever did and I'm going to be thankful for the rest of my life!!! If you are looking for a REAL change, don't hesitate to contact them and be willing to put in the work.


Ashley

Former Client

I saw 2 different therapist before I found Sadie and I was stuck in the cycle of not making any progress on my trauma and PTSD. Sadie has been absolutely amazing! She finally gave me the answers I had been looking for and she knew early on I needed EMDR. For the 2 years I was in therapy before that, this was never mentioned to me but it was exactly what I needed. Sadie is patient, kind, persistent, and a huge advocate for my mental health. Taking the step to get help is very intimidating but I swear that it’s worth it with Sadie and Balansera Therapy Group!

Sofia

Client

Sadie has been my saving grace. She is loyal, persistent, honest, and compassionate. She will not let you make excuses for yourself and will be the person to tell you what you need to hear, even if you don't want to. For someone like me and my past with therapy, I have been with her for over a year and have not ghosted her yet, lol. She is everything I need to foster personal growth. She is my therapist and someone I can confide in, and I know she always has my best interest at heart.
