EMDR therapy FAQs

What is EMDR therapy and how does it work?

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a specialized psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on assisting individuals in processing traumatic memories, diminishing their emotional intensity, and facilitating the integration of the traumatic experience into their past, enabling them to progress in their lives. This process follows four steps: history-taking, preparing the client, assessing the target memory, and processing the memory and finding an adaptive resolution. After this, Thriveworks EMDR therapists in Raleigh will continue to help individuals process the memory and evaluate the results of the treatment to ensure its effectiveness.

Who could benefit from EMDR?

EMDR is primarily employed to aid individuals who have endured trauma, including those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and who have experienced other distressing life events.

Who should not do EMDR?

EMDR therapy is generally less suitable for individuals currently experiencing acute trauma or those who have not yet acquired fundamental coping and distress tolerance skills. To engage in EMDR therapy effectively, one must possess a certain degree of distress tolerance.

What is the success rate of EMDR therapy?

EMDR tends to be very effective in relieving the negative symptoms associated with trauma. In a study performed by Francine Shapiro called The Role of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy in Medicine: Addressing the Psychological and Physical Symptoms Stemming from Adverse Life Experiences (2014), results showed that after just three EMDR sessions, 84% of participants reported a remission of PTSD diagnosis. EMDR will often have a higher success rate for survivors of a single traumatic event than for those who have experienced repeated or multiple instances of trauma when EMDR is performed for the same amount of time. This is due to the increased intensity of the trauma and the need to process multiple events.

How much does EMDR therapy cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Is EMDR therapy conducted in person or online?

If you’re looking for EMDR therapists in Raleigh, NC, you’re in luck. EMDR therapy at Thriveworks can be conducted both in person at one of our many offices around the U.S. and online via remote video conferencing. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many sessions is EMDR usually?

Generally, EMDR is a shorter-term therapy, typically encompassing multiple sessions. While some individuals may make substantial progress within just a few sessions, others may opt for an extended treatment period, particularly if dealing with complex or severe trauma or conditions.

I’ve learned and shared a lot with my therapist. I’m quite satisfied with her approach to my care. I travel a long trip to see her and I feel like she listens well and has helped me develop my skills and some new skills as well.

Great listener. Gives great feedback. Very supportive, but also helps me to look at situations objectively and with a different perspective.

Dorothy Ragon's counseling helps me discover and develop inner strength in not only dealing with transitioning from difficult and trying prior experiences but equally as important how to confidently move forward.

★★★★★
Jody-Lynne is very motivating. She is specific with her guidance, and understanding of my situation and its challenges. So far I am feeling so much stronger than before I started seeing her. She has her finger on the pulse of what’s going on in my life…and she is fun to talk to beside being serious with the helpful guidance I mentioned.

The fact that she so easy to talk to, there's no awkwardness from the very beginning, its like talking to a Friend you havnt seen in a long time and you just immediately pick up where you left off....she listens and guides you where you need to be so you're not stuck in your mind looking for an answer she knows you already know...she is by far the most amazing person I've ever met and I honestly dont know where I'd been without her...she doesn't judge, she's there if you need her anytime, and she feels your emotions with you....i love stephanie as a person and my therapist and I can never thank her for saving my life more than once
