Healing Trauma with EMDR Therapy in Sarasota and Online

Written By Candice Burch

If you're struggling with the lingering effects of trauma—flashbacks, panic attacks, emotional numbness, or even nightmares—you're not alone. Many people in Sarasota and across Florida are seeking relief from trauma and PTSD symptoms, and EMDR therapy is an evidence-based approach that can help.

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful form of trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories. It’s not about forgetting what happened—it’s about helping you feel safer, calmer, and more in control.

I offer EMDR therapy in Sarasota and also provide online EMDR therapy throughout Florida, so no matter where you're located, support is accessible.

How Does EMDR Help with PTSD and Trauma?

EMDR therapy is especially effective for:

  • PTSD from medical trauma

  • Sexual trauma and abuse

  • Trauma from car accidents

  • Childhood trauma

  • Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)

If you're experiencing anxiety after trauma, emotional numbness, or find yourself avoiding reminders of painful experiences, EMDR helps the brain and body heal on a deep level. Many clients feel a reduction in symptoms like panic attacks, flashbacks, and nightmares after just a few sessions.
