You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

In the first session, you will have you complete all consent forms and intake documents sent through the therapy portal prior to the first session. During session, we will discuss confidentiality as well as take your payment. Then I will begin to hear your story and learn more about you and your goals for therapy.
The second and third sessions are typically a continuation of your story, getting to know you, your strengths and growth needs. We will form goals that are objective, meaning they will be specific, you will know how to reach them, and what life will look like when you reach those goals.
From that point on, sessions are tailored to meeting your goals, with check ins on how you feel progress is being made, changing, or adding goals, and helping you feel life satisfaction.
Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma therapy that helps the brain process experiences that never fully processed when they happened.
Instead of only understanding the past, we help your nervous system update it so the present stops reacting to it.
Will I Have to Relive the Experience?
No.
You stay aware of where you are and what’s happening in the session.
We’re not trying to make you re-experience events intensely — we’re helping your brain process them so they stop carrying the same emotional charge.
What if I don’t remember everything clearly?
You don’t need perfect memory for EMDR to work.
We work with what your mind and body already hold — images, emotions, physical sensations, or reactions.
Your system remembers more than your mind can always explain.
Is EMDR therapy safe?
Yes.
We go at a pace your nervous system can handle, and you can pause at any time.
Preparation and stabilization always come first before deeper processing.
We don’t force the brain — we help it finish what it started.
Does Online EMDR Therapy Actually Work?
Yes. I use a secure platform called RemoteEMDR, designed specifically for virtual EMDR sessions.
It allows guided eye movements and bilateral stimulation in a structured way — not just a video call — while you remain in your own environment.
Many clients actually process more comfortably from home.
How Long Does EMDR Take?
It depends on the experience.
Some specific memories resolve in a few sessions.
Longer or repeated experiences take more time.
The goal is resolution — not rushing.
Will I Feel Worse After Sessions?
Some people feel tired or reflective afterward, similar to after a deep conversation.
We pace sessions carefully so your system can integrate the work.
Most clients notice reactions gradually lose intensity over time.
Can EMDR Help Anxiety or Overthinking?
If anxiety or overthinking is connected to unresolved experiences — yes.
Instead of managing symptoms, EMDR helps remove the source that keeps activating them.
How Do I Know If EMDR Is Right for Me?
We decide together.
Not every session is EMDR, and therapy is tailored to what you need and when you’re ready.
Still have questions?
You can contact a licensed EMDR therapist in Florida to see if this approach fits you.
