Starting EMDR therapy in Arlington

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 Arlington 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 Arlington, TX, 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 just started seeing Paula St John. I believe today was my fourth session however I do want to emphasize since I've started seeing her. I know that I made the right choice with choosing y'all and she is a wonderful therapist she listens I and I feel she understands me and I like her feedback it's honest as I want to be told the truth, so I know what areas to improve in my life I feel I should have taken the step of seeing a therapist long ago as I have had many events go on throughout my life like trauma stress depression and most of all anxiety. She did introduce me to DBT dialectical behavior therapy which I have been doing it is very difficult still for me to do as it is hard for me to concentrate and just relax in general but we are working on that. I do want to have an actual session with her where she's directing me in the session versus telling me about it and then I do it after we end our regular session because I want to make sure I'm doing it right in general I do like to meditate like I said it's a very difficult for me I do feel a lot of tension and it's very hard to relax and I know it's Mind Over Matter I would highly recommend Thriveworks and I've already mentioned it to some friends of mine. I know I live in San Antonio and she's based out of the Dallas area however, I would love to make an appointment one day and do an in-person session with her along with my seven-year-old daughter and make that just a trip out there. I look forward to my sessions. They really do help! Seeking personal help with a knowledgeable experienced therapist of many years does help. Paula St John is the perfect match for me in regards of what I'm going through.

She was so calming. It was easy to open up to her and talk about the way I've been feeling. Her voice alone was so therapeutic; I can't wait for next session

Easy and convenient to book according to my schedule. I feel like I'm learning and making progress with Mrs. Antoine. She is extremely kind and empathetic. I would recommend a friend to Thriveworks because of my experience with her.
