Evidence-based EMDR therapy for trauma and PTSD — helping your brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their charge. You don’t have to recount every detail. Sessions from anywhere in NY via secure telehealth.
Free 15-minute phone consultation. No commitment required.
If you've walked past the historic downtown landmarks of White Plains or navigated the stress of our bustling Westchester community, you know how overwhelming life can feel. Traumatic or painful memories can stay vivid and intrusive, as if your brain got stuck processing something overwhelming. You might feel on edge, avoid reminders, or find that traditional talk therapy helped you understand what happened—but never changed how it feels. EMDR offers a different path forward.
At Feeling Good Psychotherapy, we use EMDR—an evidence-based approach employing bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge. You won't need to relive details verbally. Our EMDR-trained clinicians deliver this transformative treatment via secure telehealth, bringing healing directly to you.
Trauma, PTSD, and anxiety across NY.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess stuck memories, so they lose their emotional charge — without requiring you to recount every painful detail.
Treatment follows the established EMDR protocol — history, preparation with coping skills, assessment, reprocessing, and closure — so you are stabilized and ready before any memory work begins.
No commute. No waiting room. Attend sessions on any device from anywhere in NY. Evenings and select weekend appointments available to fit your schedule.
We accept major insurance plans and maintain billing specialists who verify your coverage before your first session. Sliding scale fees available for clients who qualify.
A free 15-minute phone consultation with a real therapist. No pressure. No commitment. Just a conversation about whether we are the right fit for you and your goals.
Schedule My Free ConsultationA clear, structured approach from first contact to lasting recovery. Many people with single-incident trauma notice substantial improvement within 3 to 6 reprocessing sessions.
A no-pressure 15-minute call with a therapist to discuss your concerns, ask questions, and confirm we are a good fit for your needs and goals.
One or two sessions of history-taking and preparation — understanding your trauma history, teaching coping and grounding skills, and identifying target memories before any reprocessing begins.
Your EMDR-trained clinician assesses your stability and readiness, then builds a personalized plan that sequences which memories to target and at what pace, so the work stays safe.
Reprocessing sessions use bilateral stimulation in short sets while you briefly hold a target memory. You stay in control throughout, and each session closes with grounding so you leave stable.

Many clients notice meaningful improvement within the first 4 to 8 sessions. Most reach substantial progress within a handful of reprocessing sessions for single-incident trauma; complex trauma takes longer but often improves through a generalization effect. Full recovery timelines vary by history and readiness.
Because we measure your mood and symptoms before and after every session, you will always have a clear and objective picture of how you are progressing. Your therapist uses that data to adjust the approach in real time if results are not moving fast enough.
In traditional talk therapy you discuss traumatic events in detail, often for extended periods. EMDR works differently: you briefly hold a target memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, and your brain does the reprocessing without requiring you to narrate every detail. That difference matters for trauma survivors who find repeated verbal recounting retraumatizing, and many people experience results more quickly than with traditional trauma therapies.
The result is a structured but deeply personal approach that research shows produces faster and more complete recovery than traditional therapy. You leave with practical psychological skills you can use for life, long after your sessions end.
