EMDR therapy at CARE doesn't just help you cope — it rewires how your brain processes the memories that keep you stuck in anxiety, panic, and emotional shutdown.
10,000+ clients successfully treated • Average of 8 hours to symptom resolution
You may not think about it every day. But your body remembers. Your reactions remember. And it shows up in ways that steal your energy, your confidence, and your peace:
This isn't a character flaw. It's your brain protecting you from something it never finished processing. And there is a clear, proven path through it.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based psychotherapy recognized by the World Health Organization and the American Psychological Association as a frontline treatment for trauma and PTSD.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR doesn't require you to relive painful experiences in detail. Instead, it uses bilateral stimulation (guided eye movements, taps, or sounds) to help your brain naturally reprocess memories that got "stuck" in your nervous system — the same memories driving your anxiety, anger, panic, and emotional shutdowns today.
Think of it this way: when a wound heals properly, your body knows exactly what to do. EMDR gives your brain the same chance — to finish processing what it started, so the emotional charge finally fades and you can respond to life from a place of clarity, not survival mode.
At CARE, we've successfully treated over 10,000 clients using EMDR therapy. Our clients typically experience significant symptom relief early in treatment, with the average client reaching symptom resolution in approximately 8 hours of EMDR reprocessing.
No guesswork. No wasted sessions. A structured, results-driven process designed to get you unstuck and back to your life.
Schedule online or call us. We match you with a specialized EMDR therapist based on your specific needs — often within the same week.
Your therapist learns what's been weighing on you, identifies the root memories driving your symptoms, and builds a targeted treatment plan with measurable goals.
Through focused EMDR sessions, you'll target and reprocess the specific memories fueling your symptoms — clearing emotional blocks at the root, not just the surface.
As the emotional charge fades, confidence, calm, and clarity take its place. Most clients complete treatment and don't need to come back. That's our goal.
Whatever you're carrying, EMDR can help your brain finally process it. Here's what our clients come to us for:
We don't believe in therapy that goes on forever. Our approach is built for measurable outcomes and efficient results.
Every story represents someone who decided they were done surviving and ready to start living.
"Working with my therapist and doing EMDR was hard work, but immediately rewarding. I'd leave a session feeling the weight of the traumas we'd addressed in our session just completely removed from my shoulders! It was phenomenal & rewarding. I'm so thankful that I found CARE & that I was able to get my anxiety & depression to manageable levels, while reconnecting with myself and my confidence."
"EMDR was the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm so lucky to have an amazing therapist to guide me through tough times. I was returning to school, getting back into sports, and most importantly feel like myself."
"Left feeling much lighter than I felt when walking in. Such a peaceful office and very comforting environment. The therapy is different from standard therapy, with the goal to work on the root of your trauma to lower your mental health symptoms. 10/10 best session I've had with a therapist."
"These sessions were the best thing for me and completely changed my life. Please please try EMDR it is 100% worth it!"
"Counseling at CARE completely changed how I see myself in all relationships and helped me accept and move past so many traumas that were making life in the present a challenge. I honestly don't know where I would be today if I hadn't taken the first step and put in the hard work in EMDR."
Whether you want to start with a single session or go all-in with an intensive program, we have a clear path that fits your life.
Session rates range from $100-$160 per 60-minute session, and we're in-network with 15+ major carriers including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, United Healthcare, Optum, Tufts, and Medicare. For our intensive programs, insurance partially covers the Fast Track Program (amount varies by carrier). If you're out-of-network, we'll help you explore reimbursement options. Many clients experience significant relief in just 1-2 sessions, making EMDR one of the most cost-effective therapies available.
We consistently offer same-week availability. Because our approach is designed to help clients graduate from therapy (not stay indefinitely), openings are always becoming available. Book online or call (603) 270-9181 and you can typically start within days.
Many clients begin experiencing relief after just 1-2 sessions. On average, our clients require approximately 8 hours of EMDR reprocessing therapy to reach symptom resolution. The exact duration depends on symptom severity, personal history, and session frequency. Clients who choose our intensive programs (Fast Track or Weekend Warrior) often complete their full treatment in a matter of days rather than months.
No. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require you to describe traumatic events in extensive detail. Your therapist will guide you through a structured process that allows your brain to reprocess difficult memories without needing to relive them. Many clients find this aspect of EMDR to be one of its greatest advantages — healing happens without re-traumatization.
Absolutely. EMDR is recognized as an effective treatment by the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Psychological Association (APA), the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Defense. Over 30 randomized controlled trials have demonstrated its effectiveness.
EMDR is effective for far more than trauma and PTSD. At CARE, we successfully use EMDR to treat anxiety, depression, panic attacks, OCD, eating disorders, addictions, grief, phobias, chronic pain, anger issues, low self-esteem, dissociation, personality disorders, substance abuse, and stress. If an unprocessed experience is at the root of your symptoms — and it usually is — EMDR can help.
Single sessions ($120/hr) are a great way to start EMDR and work at a weekly pace. Our intensive programs condense what would normally take 3-6 months of weekly therapy into days: the Fast Track ($1,280) provides 8 hours across multiple sessions, while the Weekend Warrior ($1,664) delivers deep healing over a single weekend.
