EMDR Throughout The Twin Cities
We serve children, teens, and adults in the state of Minnesota through mental health therapy in-person & online.
Heal from Trauma. Reclaim Your Peace.
If you’ve been struggling with the effects of PTSD, childhood trauma, or anxiety, you don’t have to carry it alone. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a proven, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel overwhelming.
At BHSI, our certified EMDR therapists provide compassionate, personalized care to help you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized form of therapy designed to help people process and heal from traumatic or distressing memories. It uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess painful experiences so they no longer feel as overwhelming.
How do I find an EMDR therapist near me?
You can start by searching for “EMDR therapy near the twin cities area” or using directories such as EMDRIA (the EMDR International Association). Many local therapy practices in areas like Eagan, Shakopee, St. Paul, and Minneapolis offer EMDR. Look for a therapist who is trained or certified in EMDR to ensure you’re receiving effective treatment.

Is EMDR therapy effective for trauma and PTSD?
Yes. EMDR is one of the most researched and effective treatments for trauma and PTSD. Many clients experience significant relief after EMDR, as it helps reduce emotional intensity and triggers connected to traumatic memories.
How many EMDR sessions are needed?
