EMDR Trauma Counseling

At Around the Block Healthcare, our Behavioral Health Counseling services are designed with trauma survivors and recovery-focused clients in mind. We combine traditional therapy with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — a powerful, evidence-based approach to processing unresolved trauma.

Whether you’re recovering from addiction, navigating anxiety, or healing from PTSD, our counseling team meets you with compassion, structure, and effective tools.

This is where emotional wellness, trauma healing, and mental health care come together.

Our licensed professionals start with a comprehensive intake and then tailor your therapy plan to include:

• Talk therapy (CBT, DBT, trauma-informed approaches)
• EMDR therapy sessions to reprocess trauma in a safe, supported way
• Mindfulness and nervous system regulation tools
• Coping skills for relapse prevention, depression, and anxiety
• Psychoeducation to help you understand your mental health

EMDR uses guided eye movements to help desensitize emotional memories and reduce their lasting psychological impact. It’s especially effective for trauma, PTSD, and those in substance use recovery.

This service is ideal for:

• Adults and teens with trauma histories (recent or childhood)
• Clients in early or long-term substance use recovery
• Individuals struggling with anxiety, panic, or flashbacks
• LGBTQ+ individuals seeking affirming, inclusive care
• People feeling stuck despite previous therapy

We create a safe, affirming space where every part of your story is welcomed.

• A warm, welcoming intake session to understand your goals
• Regular counseling sessions (weekly or biweekly)
• EMDR integrated where appropriate for trauma resolution
• Optional support for couples or family therapy
• Coordination with other services (primary care, meds, TMS)

You’ll never be judged for where you are. Our focus is walking with you to where you want to go.

Yes — EMDR and trauma-informed therapy are recognized as gold-standard treatments for:

• PTSD and complex trauma
• Substance use recovery
• Anxiety, depression, and grief
• Self-harm, suicidal ideation, and emotional regulation

Sessions are structured, safe, and move at your pace — no forced disclosures, no pressure.

• Licensed trauma specialists with real-world experience
• Deeply rooted in recovery-informed counseling
• LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive
• EMDR combined with other modern modalities
• Seamless connection to medication management and primary care, if needed

We’re one of the few places where your counselor, medical provider, and support staff work together—so you don’t have to start over every time.

Q: What is EMDR, exactly?

A: EMDR is a therapy technique that uses guided eye movement to help your brain process trauma so it no longer feels overwhelming or stuck.

Q: Is this just for trauma?

A: No. While EMDR is known for trauma work, we also help clients with anxiety, substance use patterns, grief, relationship issues, and more.

Q: Can I do counseling if I’m also getting Ketamine or TMS?

A: Absolutely. In fact, many clients benefit from combining services—it’s all under one roof here.

Q: Do I have to talk about everything right away?

A: Not at all. We go at your pace. Therapy is about feeling safe, supported, and empowered.

You don’t have to carry trauma alone. Support is here.
