EMDR therapy

In my practice, I offer EMDR therapy, which is a structured and effective approach for individuals seeking to heal from trauma, enabling them to process their experiences and reduce emotional distress, leading to a healthier and more balanced life.

What is EMDR therapy and how does it work?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic memories. It involves the use of bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements, while the client focuses on distressing memories. This process helps rewire how these memories are stored in the brain, reducing their emotional charge and allowing for healthier processing and integration.

Who can benefit from EMDR therapy?

EMDR therapy is particularly effective for individuals experiencing PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), but it can also benefit those dealing with anxiety, depression, phobias, grief, and other trauma-related issues. People who have experienced various forms of trauma, including accidents, abuse, or loss, may find EMDR to be a helpful therapeutic option.

How long does EMDR therapy take?

The duration of EMDR therapy can vary based on individual needs and the severity of the trauma being addressed. Some clients may notice significant improvements in just a few sessions, while others may require more extended treatment. Typically, a complete course of EMDR can range from several weeks to a few months, depending on the complexity of the issues being treated.

Is EMDR therapy safe?

Yes, EMDR therapy is considered a safe and effective treatment option for trauma and related issues. It is conducted by trained and licensed mental health professionals. While some clients may initially experience discomfort when discussing traumatic memories, the therapy is designed to help them process these emotions in a controlled and supportive environment.

What should I expect during an EMDR therapy session?

During an EMDR session, you can expect to discuss your history and specific traumatic experiences with your therapist. The therapist will guide you through the eight phases of EMDR, including identifying distressing memories and using bilateral stimulation techniques. You may experience a range of emotions during the session, but your therapist will be there to support you throughout the process.

Testimonials

Erin Drum has been the defining factor to change my experience with therapy. She has been working with me for years and has helped me get through things I was prepared to carry around with me for the rest of my life. I truly cannot recommend her enough. There is no one I trust more to handle myself and others in delicate emotional states.

My daughter experienced PTSD as a child and began seeing Erin when she was in 4th grade. Erin quickly became an advocate for my daughter as she partnered with me, the legal system, and the school to make sure my daughter’s experiences, feelings, and needs were acknowledged and validated. Erin gave my daughter empathy, tools, and a safe haven when she was so young and vulnerable. As she got older and said she was ready, Erin helped her work with her past trauma to consciously repair her sense of self, establish healthy boundaries, and carve out new neural pathways. Erin Drum is a VIP in our family; I have so much love, respect, and gratitude for her. As a result of her work with Erin, my daughter, now 18, is an emotionally intelligent, confident, forward-focused college student.

I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with Erin. She is helping me to view the anxiety I’ve struggled with for so many years with new insight and gain confidence in my own strength and ability to overcome it She is genuinely kind, patient and so in tune with who I am and what tools I need to navigate this part of my life journey. It is rare to find someone with her professional skill and knowledge who can also provide an environment where you can feel heard, understood and encouraged to let your true self shine.

I really lucked out when I searched my insurance company's list of therapists. I was worried I would not find someone willing to do virtual sessions never mind someone I felt was approachable, compassionate, and easy to talk to. Erin easily accommodated virtual sessions and encompassed all I had hoped for in a therapist. Erin created an atmosphere of acceptance and comfort that allows you to feel at ease discussing the things that are troubling you or that come with challenging feelings like guilt and shame. In the time I have been working with her, I have noticed positive changes in the way I interact with my family. My worries are not impacting my relationships like they did in the past and I am feeling more equipped to manage challenging interactions with friends, family, and co-workers. I would highly recommend Erin to you or anyone that is looking for a fantastic therapist.

I love working with Erin! She has helped guide me through my past trauma and unpack it so we could better pinpoint how it has shown up in my present life and then address it. She creates such a safe space where she listens to all my thoughts and emotions and helps give me strategies to better understand myself. Erin’s been very willing to do all the work with me and has helped get me to a point where I now feel comfortable taking her recommended coping strategies and doing them myself. She is a literal guiding light that helped me through my darkest times. I would (and have!) recommend her to anyone who needs help figuring themselves out.

Erin has truly changed my life. She has drastically improved my relationship with myself and the people closest to me, as well as helped me through some of the most difficult seasons of my life. I have been to several different therapists before meeting Erin and she is the only person who addressed the root of my anxiety, offering solutions and advice that have inspired real and lasting change. She is an incredible person who truly cares about her clients, and offers her wisdom, kindness, compassion, and sense of humor every time I speak with her. One of my best friends (another client of hers) and I have described her as that cool mom you can tell anything to. My time knowing Erin has truly been a blessing, and I cannot recommend her enough.
