EMDR Therapy at Long Island Therapy: Unlock Healing and Transformation

Welcome to Long Island Therapy, where healing and growth are at the heart of our practice. I’m Bella Boroniec, LCSW, and I’m here to guide you through the transformative journey of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

EMDR is more than just a therapeutic technique – it’s a pathway to unlocking your full potential and freeing yourself from the burdens of unresolved trauma and distress.

Understanding EMDR: A Path to Healing

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a cutting-edge psychotherapy approach that was developed in 1989 by Francine Shapiro. Initially designed to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), EMDR has evolved into a versatile and effective therapy for a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, and more.

Effortless Healing

One of the remarkable aspects of EMDR is its ability to facilitate healing with a sense of ease and effortlessness. Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR doesn’t require you to analyze or recount your trauma in great detail. Instead, it engages the brain’s natural processing mechanisms to help you reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge.

Through a series of guided techniques, such as eye movements or tapping, we stimulate bilateral brain activity, allowing you to move the memory from the emotional centers of the brain to areas associated with logic and reason, effectively diffusing its emotional intensity.

Personalized Care for Lasting Results

At Long Island Therapy, we understand that every individual is unique, and their healing journey is equally distinct. That’s why we offer integrative EMDR therapy – a holistic approach that combines EMDR with other evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and more.

Our goal is to address not only the traumatic memories but also any negative thought patterns and coping mechanisms that may be affecting your mental well-being.

By tailoring the therapy to your specific needs, we ensure that you receive comprehensive care that promotes lasting results.

Unlocking Repressed Memories

EMDR often brings to light memories and experiences that you may not have consciously associated with your current challenges. At the time of a traumatic event, the mind makes many associations with the feelings, sights, sounds, smells, taste and touch connected with the trauma. Later similar sensations may trigger a memory of the event. These previously overlooked memories can hold the key to understanding the root causes of your distress. By addressing these hidden wounds, we create the opportunity for profound healing and transformation.

Virtual EMDR for Your Convenience

We understand that life’s demands may make it challenging to attend in-person sessions. That’s why we offer virtual EMDR therapy, which has proven to be just as effective as in-person sessions. Rest assured, you can embark on your healing journey from the comfort of your own space, with the same level of care and expertise.

At Long Island Therapy, we are committed to walking alongside you on your path to healing and transformation. If you’re ready to take the first step toward a brighter future, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
