Does this sound like you?

• A memory, image, or event keeps replaying no matter how hard you try to move on

• Small triggers set off overwhelming emotions or body reactions

• You feel stuck in “survival mode,” even when you want to feel safe

• Traditional talk therapy hasn’t given you the relief you’re looking for

​

If this feels familiar, EMDR therapy can help.

Safe, Neuroaffirming EMDR Therapy

At Fika, we combine EMDR with trauma-trained, neuroaffirming care.

That means:

• We move at your pace — never faster than your nervous system feels ready for

• We start with stabilization and grounding tools so you feel safe before processing

• We integrate EMDR with approaches like Polyvagal theory, attachment work, and parts work (ego states)

What to Expect

In your first sessions, we’ll:

​

1. Build safety and trust together

2. Learn grounding tools for when emotions feel overwhelming

3. Identify memories, triggers, or themes you’d like to work on

4. Begin EMDR processing once you feel ready.

​

Each session is guided, collaborative, and focused on what feels safe for you.

Understanding EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess overwhelming experiences so they no longer feel “stuck.”

​

Instead of re-living trauma, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sounds) while you recall experiences in a safe, guided way.

Over time, the memory loses its intense emotional charge, allowing you to feel calmer and more present.

What EMDR Can Support With

EMDR therapy is especially effective for:

• Trauma & PTSD / C-PTSD

• Anxiety & panic

• Grief & loss

• Phobias or fears

• Negative self-beliefs (“I’m not enough,” “I’m broken”)

• Body image & self-esteem struggles

• Relationship wounds, including betrayal or infidelity

You don’t have to stay stuck in the past.

EMDR therapy can help you process trauma safely and move toward healing.
