EMDR PREP & READINESS GROUP

🌀 EMDR Prep & Readiness Group

A 6-Week In-Person Group for Women Who Want to Heal Deeply

If you’ve been thinking about starting EMDR but unsure where to begin, you’re not alone. Whether you’re on a waitlist or just curious about how EMDR works, this 6-week group is designed to help you feel prepared, grounded, and confident in your healing journey.

Together, we’ll take the mystery and overwhelm out of the EMDR process — and start building the emotional tools you’ll need to get the most out of it.

✨ This Group Is for You If…

  • You’re interested in EMDR but feel nervous, hesitant, or unsure where to start
  • You’re currently on my waitlist (or another therapist’s) and want to get a head start
  • You’ve done talk therapy but are ready for a deeper kind of healing
  • You want to feel safe and supported while building trust in your body and mind

No EMDR experience required — just curiosity and a desire to heal.
