Trauma & EMDR Therapy in Northern Virginia

Trauma can be an important part of what you want to explore in counseling. ACTIVV providers list trauma-focused approaches and EMDR among their specialties. The first step is a conversation about your goals, preferences, and the type of support you are seeking. You do not need to choose a treatment method before contacting us.

Explore the Approach

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. The VA National Center for PTSD describes it as a therapy that involves working with traumatic memories. Your clinician can explain what sessions involve, discuss preparation and pacing, and assess whether this approach fits your needs. Ask about your provider’s EMDR training and how they decide when to use it.
