EMDR Therapy

What is EMDR Therapy?
If you're navigating the effects of trauma or struggling with symptoms of PTSD, you’re not alone. There are effective, evidence-based therapies that can help. One of the most widely recognized approaches for trauma healing is EMDR therapy, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This powerful technique has been shown to reduce the emotional distress associated with traumatic memories and help individuals move toward lasting healing.
​
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to briefly focus on a traumatic memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (usually eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion tied to that memory.
​
Who Can Benefit from EMDR Therapy?
EMDR therapy is highly effective for a wide range of individuals, particularly those dealing with:
-
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
-
Anxiety and panic attacks
-
Grief and loss
-
Childhood trauma or abuse
-
Distressing memories and flashbacks
-
Low self-esteem rooted in past experiences
If you're a resident of Ontario and seeking trauma therapy, EMDR might be a gentle yet powerful way to help you move forward.
EMDR Therapy
Bilateral Stimulation
Bilateral stimulation, refers to any kind of stimulation that moves back and forth across the body — activating the left and right sides of the brain in an alternating pattern.
In EMDR, bilateral stimulation helps the brain process traumatic or distressing memories that have gotten "stuck" in an unprocessed state. Normally, memories are supposed to be integrated into our broader memory network, but trauma can cause memories to stay "frozen" with their original emotions, sensations, and beliefs attached.
Bilateral stimulation is thought to help the brain do several things:
-
Reduce emotional intensity of the memory
-
Allow new, more adaptive information to connect to the memory
-
Facilitate natural healing, similar to how REM sleep (where your eyes move side to side) helps process daily events

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Hi, I'm Homa!
As an immigrant and trilingual therapist (English, Farsi, and Spanish), I deeply value the richness of cultural identity and the complexity it can bring to one’s lived experience. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is affirming, inclusive, and responsive to each client’s unique cultural and generational background.
My work is grounded in a culturally sensitive and anti-oppressive lens, with a special focus on supporting individuals navigating immigration stress, identity exploration, intergenerational dynamics, and marginalization. I recognize how culture, language, neurodivergence, and systemic factors intersect and influence our emotional well-being.
I believe in working collaboratively with clients to explore how their cultural stories have shaped their values, sense of self, and relationships—while creating space for healing, reclaiming, and rewriting narratives that no longer serve them.

Hi, I'm Rania!
As a first-generation immigrant from Morocco who has experienced frequent relocations, through my journey, I have gained a deep appreciation of cultural diversity. I struggled in my own search for a therapist who could understand and honour my cultural and religious background, so this fueled my commitment to establishing a practice dedicated to ensuring that individuals from all walks of life receive the compassionate and culturally informed care they deserve.
Through careful selection, I have cultivated a team of therapists who possess not only the knowledge and training but also the lived experiences necessary to effectively serve clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
My mission is to create a safe and inclusive space where individuals can explore their mental health journey free from the constraints of cultural biases or misunderstandings.
