Skip to content At Treat Mental Health California, we provide virtual care to support your mental well-being. We understand the importance of treating mental health conditions early. If you’re dealing with anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or traumatic experiences, our team is here to help with proven methods like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
EMDR therapy is an effective treatment for people facing trauma, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, or emotional distress. At Treat Mental Health California, we use EMDR therapy online and in person to help clients process distressing memories, work through traumatic memories, and reduce symptoms from mental health issues. We offer both person therapy and online therapy sessions, depending on your needs and access to therapy.
EMDR therapy is a form of therapy that uses lateral eye movements or other techniques such as auditory sounds or tapping. These actions help the brain process painful memories that may be stuck due to trauma. The process involves several stages: the psycho-education phase, the acute phase, and the processing phase. Over time, distress levels often decrease, leading to better emotional balance.
EMDR therapy has evolved to meet the growing need for flexible treatment options. With increased demand for online therapy, providers now offer person EMDR sessions and online EMDR through secure platforms. This flexibility supports individuals with childcare responsibilities, caring responsibilities, or limited mobility. Despite challenges like poor internet connection or internet connection being stressful, therapists continue to deliver effective care through the provision of videoconferencing equipment. Client response rate remains high, especially when a trusting-enough therapeutic relationship is built. Data from the median experience of therapists and evaluation teams show consistent improvements in PCL-5 score change, supporting EMDR’s use in both in-person and remote formats.
EMDR Therapy is a type of trauma therapy that helps people process difficult or distressing memories. It was developed by Francine Shapiro and is now widely used by eligible therapists to treat mental health issues linked to traumatic experiences. EMDR is often used in both person sessions and online sessions to help people struggling with anxiety, depression, acute stress disorder, and other conditions.
EMDR helps you process difficult memories through actions like moving your eyes from side to side or tapping your hands. These movements support trauma processing by helping the brain organize and release distress stored in memory space. This makes upsetting memories easier to manage over time.
EMDR is an excellent way to deal with PTSD and move past traumatic events.
It can also help with different kinds of anxiety, like excessive worrying or specific fears.
If you experience panic attacks, EMDR might help you understand why they happen and how to manage them.
EMDR can also help with feelings of sadness or hopelessness, especially if they're related to difficult experiences.

From pilot study reports to survey with therapists, EMDR has shown strong results for depression in people, including healthcare workers. Drop-out rates are low, and client response rate is high—especially when a safe-/trusting-enough relationship exists between client and therapist. Data from Weston NHS Foundation Trust, Jimini Health, and our own health support pathway show real improvement in symptoms such as Performance Anxiety.
Usually, sessions last around 60 to 90 minutes, but the duration can vary according to your needs.
