Coming Soon: EMDR Therapy
What Is EMDR
Therapy?
Our upcoming EMDR Therapy service at Fortified Souls is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. This evidence-based approach has been recognized globally for its effectiveness in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other significant life stressors.
EMDR Therapy operates on the principle that our brains have an inherent ability to heal, similar to how the body recovers from physical injury. Sometimes, traumatic experiences can block this natural process, causing distressing symptoms and emotional discomfort. EMDR Therapy aims to unblock these impediments and stimulate the brain’s natural healing process.
In a typical EMDR Therapy session, you will be guided to recall distressing events while the therapist leads you through specific eye movements, or occasionally other forms of bilateral stimulation like hand-tapping or audio cues. This process helps reprocess traumatic memories, significantly reducing their psychological impact and enabling you to develop healthier coping mechanisms.
How EMDR
Therapy Can Help
Although EMDR is primarily known for its effectiveness in treating PTSD, it’s also beneficial for individuals struggling with conditions such as anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. The ultimate goal of EMDR therapy is not just to cope with distressing memories, but to transform them into empowering ones.
Our skilled clinicians, trained in EMDR methodology, provide this therapy via HIPAA-compliant telehealth appointments. We strive to create a safe, secure environment where your privacy is respected, and your well-being is our highest priority.
At Fortified Souls, our EMDR Therapy service is a testament to our commitment to offering comprehensive mental health support. We believe in empowering our clients to navigate life’s challenges, and EMDR Therapy is one more tool we use to assist in that journey.

I’ve spent time with a couple of counselors on Emily’s team at Fortified Souls over the last 5 years. Although I didn’t feel like the first was a match for me, I kept going and tried another counselor who turned out to be perfect. Amber is absolutely wonderful and has helped me immensely in the 3-4 years I’ve been seeing her. Truly could not recommend this practice enough.

It was hard finding the right person to talk to. There are so many therapists out there, but Emily made me feel instantly safe and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.

I’ve been working with Emily for almost a year and I’m so proud of where I am now. I’ve learned so many new skills that helped my confidence, made my day to day easier, and made my relationships better. Having her in your corner is just amazing.

She was there for me when I needed advice and she was there for me when I just needed someone to listen. That’s all I could ask for.
