EMDR Therapy in Raleigh, NC
Heal from Trauma with Evidence-Based, Transformational Care
At Carolina Therapy Solutions, we help individuals process trauma and emotional pain using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) a powerful, research-backed therapy that helps the brain and body release stuck memories and move toward healing. Whether you’re dealing with a single traumatic event, complex trauma, or persistent emotional triggers, EMDR offers a structured and effective path forward.
We offer both weekly EMDR therapy and EMDR intensives for those who want to make rapid progress in fewer sessions. Our expert clinicians deliver this work with skill, care, and compassion providing a safe space to process what’s been holding you back.
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy designed to help you reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive. Rather than relying solely on talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation often through eye movements, tapping, or tones to help your brain process and integrate unresolved experiences.
Originally developed to treat PTSD, EMDR is now widely used to address:
Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and panic attacks
Childhood emotional neglect
Relationship trauma or attachment wounds
Grief and loss
Performance anxiety
Phobias and fears
Chronic shame or low self-worth
Many people who’ve felt stuck in traditional therapy find EMDR allows them to move through emotional blocks and finally feel relief.
How EMDR Treatment Works
Trauma can cause the brain to store memories in a “frozen” or unprocessed state, triggering emotional reactivity long after the event has passed. EMDR helps unblock this process by stimulating the brain’s natural healing system.
During EMDR sessions, you’ll focus briefly on a distressing memory while your therapist guides you through bilateral stimulation. As the memory is processed, the emotional intensity often decreases and new insights, beliefs, or feelings may emerge. Over time, painful memories lose their emotional charge, and new patterns of thought and behavior become possible.
EMDR Intensives
Focused Healing in Less Time
In addition to ongoing EMDR therapy, we offer EMDR intensives, extended sessions designed to accelerate your healing process. These 3-hour sessions typically occur 1–2 times, depending on your needs and goals.
EMDR intensives are ideal for:
Processing a specific traumatic event
Professionals or parents with limited weekly availability
Clients who’ve already done some therapeutic work and want to go deeper
Individuals preparing for a major transition or life event
Those seeking focused healing without the drawn-out pace of weekly therapy
These sessions allow us to stay fully in the processing space without being limited by the clock helping you experience meaningful breakthroughs more efficiently.
