EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress of distressing life experiences.

EMDR therapy helps children and adults of all ages. Therapists use EMDR therapy to address a wide range of challenges:

• Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
• Chronic Illness and medical issues
• Depression and bipolar disorders

• Personality disorders
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma and stress-related issues

Children communicate through play.  Play therapy is a psychotherapy that uses play-based approaches to facilitate healing. Play therapy can help children in the following ways:

• heal from past stressful or traumatic experiences
• allow the expression of feelings
• encourage creative thoughts and new ideas
• allow the development of healthy decision making skills
• enable communication of problems and concerns to others
• supporting learning of new ways of thinking and behaving

Play-based caregiver-child interventions may be appropriate as well dependent on the child's needs.
