EMDR Therapy
At Steady Ground Therapy, we specialize in EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and distressing life experiences. We proudly serve clients in-person in Downey, CA, in surrounding communities, and online across all of California. As BIPOC therapists, we understand how culture, identity, and life experiences shape healing—and we create a safe, inclusive space for your therapy journey.
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR Therapy is a powerful, evidence-based treatment designed to help the brain process traumatic or overwhelming memories. When painful events remain “stuck,” they can cause ongoing symptoms such as:
Anxiety
Hypervigilance
Panic attacks
Negative self-beliefs
Intrusive memories
Emotional overwhelm
EMDR helps your brain reprocess these memories safely so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. Clients often experience relief faster than with traditional talk therapy.
How EMDR Therapy Works?
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sound—to help the brain access, process, and release stored traumatic material. This process allows you to:
Reduce emotional triggers
Rebuild positive self-beliefs
Feel calmer and more grounded
Gain clarity and emotional stability
At Steady Ground Therapy, we use a trauma-informed, culturally grounded approach to ensure your experience is safe, supportive, and personalized.
Who Can Benefit From EMDR Therapy?
EMDR Therapy is effective for individuals experiencing:
Trauma & PTSD
Childhood or family trauma
Relationship wounds
Anxiety & panic attacks
Depression
Grief & loss
Low self-esteem
Stress from major life events
Abuse or violence
Chronic emotional overwhelm
If you feel "stuck" or emotionally weighed down by past experiences, EMDR may help you move forward more quickly than traditional therapy alone.
