I offer virtual EMDR sessions for clients across Nevada. These extended therapy sessions are especially supportive for individuals wanting quicker progress, or those with limited time for weekly counseling.

As a mental health therapist in Summerlin, Las Vegas, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy both in person and online across Nevada. EMDR is an effective, research-supported treatment that uses eye movements or sensory stimulation to help your brain reprocess painful or traumatic memories.
For in-person EMDR sessions at my Summerlin office, I use specialized equipment such as a light bar that guides your eye movements, along with handheld buzzers that provide gentle bilateral stimulation through alternating vibrations. Many clients find this immersive setup helps them stay grounded and focused during processing.
For online EMDR sessions, we use a secure virtual platform where you follow a moving ball on the screen, often paired with self-tapping techniques. These tools help activate your brain’s natural healing process, allowing difficult memories to be reprocessed in a way that feels more manageable.
Both virtual and in-person EMDR approaches are highly effective. These techniques help “unlock” and reprocess stuck memories, reducing their emotional intensity over time. As a result, distressing experiences begin to feel less overwhelming, and you can move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and ease.
Whether you’re in Las Vegas or anywhere in Nevada, EMDR therapy can support your healing and help you feel more like yourself again.
