EMDR ASSOCIATES OF NJ & NY
EMDR Therapy for Trauma, Anxiety & Emotional Healing in NJ & NYC
Specialized trauma treatment to help you move beyond the past and reclaim your life.
When the past still feels present, everyday life becomes a battle.​
​You may look “fine” on the outside while internally fighting memories, triggers, or a constant state of tension.
Maybe you’re exhausted from being on alert all the time.
Maybe relationships feel harder than they should.
Maybe you’ve tried traditional talk therapy and left feeling stuck in the same patterns.
​
Trauma — whether from childhood, a single event, or years of cumulative stress — can make you feel disconnected from yourself and unsure how to move forward.
Left unaddressed, these symptoms rarely fade on their own.
They often grow louder, interfering with work, sleep, relationships, and your sense of self.
​
You’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone.
We see this every day — and we know how to help.​​
Many of our clients come to us wondering...
Why can't I move on from something that happened years ago?
I don't trust myself, and I don't feel safe anymore.
My reactions feel bigger than the situation. What's going on?
I'm tired of feeling broken. Is there a better way forward?
I want to change, but I don't know how.
These aren't character flaws. They're trauma responses: automatic, protective, and treatable.
At EMDR Associates of NJ & NY, we specialize in helping clients understand these patterns, process unresolved memories, and build a felt sense of safety in their bodies and their lives.

What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess painful or overwhelming experiences so they no longer feel as intense, activating, or “present.”
​
When something traumatic or deeply stressful happens, your nervous system can stay stuck in survival mode. Even years later, certain sounds, smells, places, or interactions can trigger the same fear, panic, or shame you felt back then.
​
EMDR helps your brain do what it naturally knows how to do:
process the memory, file it in the past, and free up your energy for the present.
How EMDR Works
​
In EMDR, you and your therapist:
-
Identify a “stuck” memory or pattern
This might be a specific event, a series of experiences, or a long-standing belief like “I’m not safe” or “I’m not good enough.”
​
-
Pair the memory with bilateral stimulation
Your therapist guides you through gentle, rhythmic left-right stimulation (such as eye movements, hand buzzers, or taps). This activates both sides of the brain and supports adaptive information processing.
​
-
Let your brain reprocess the experience
As you move through sets of eye movements or taps, your brain begins to connect new information, perspectives, and emotions to the old memory. Over time, what once felt overwhelming starts to feel more distant, less charged, and easier to think about without shutting down or spiraling.
​
You don’t have to tell every detail of your trauma for EMDR to work. We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
