Discover the benefits of EMDR therapy for trauma, anxiety, and emotional healing. Serving clients online in Oregon with safe, evidence-based care.
Let Go of the Past and Step Into Healing
If you feel stuck in painful memories, emotional triggers, or negative beliefs, EMDR therapy offers a proven path toward healing. At Healing Parts Therapy, we use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of an integrative, trauma-informed approach that often includes Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to support deeper understanding and lasting change.
What Is EMDR?
EMDR is a structured, integrative approach that uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to help the brain process and release distressing memories. Originally developed for PTSD, it is now widely used to treat anxiety, depression, grief, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR Therapy
Do I have to remember every detail of a traumatic experience for EMDR to work?
No. EMDR does not require you to share every detail of an experience. Many people find EMDR helpful because it focuses on processing distressing experiences without requiring extensive discussion of the event.
Can EMDR help with self-worth and self-doubt?
Yes. Many people struggle with beliefs such as:
"I'm not good enough."
"I can't trust myself."
"I always fail."
"Something is wrong with me."
These beliefs often develop from earlier life experiences. EMDR can help address experiences that contributed to these beliefs and support the development of healthier perspectives.
What does an EMDR session feel like?
Every person's experience is different. EMDR sessions typically involve focusing on a memory, emotion, sensation, or belief while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping. Many clients describe gaining new insights, experiencing emotional relief, or feeling less distressed by previously difficult memories over time.
Is EMDR therapy conducted online?
Yes. EMDR can often be adapted for telehealth and may be provided virtually when clinically appropriate. During your consultation, we can discuss whether online EMDR is a good fit for your needs.
How many EMDR sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your goals, history, and the concerns being addressed. Some people notice changes relatively quickly, while others benefit from a longer-term approach that includes preparation, processing, and integration.
How do I know if EMDR is right for me?
EMDR may be a good fit if you feel that difficult experiences from the past continue to affect your emotions, relationships, self-worth, or daily life. During a consultation, we can discuss your concerns and determine whether EMDR is an appropriate approach for your goals.
