What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals overcome the distressing effects of traumatic experiences. During an EMDR session, the therapist guides the client in focused bilateral stimulation, typically through side-to-side eye movements or other forms of rhythmic sensory input. This process facilitates the brain’s natural healing mechanisms, allowing it to reprocess traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge.
The therapist guides the client in reprocessing the memories until the associated distress is significantly reduced. Throughout this process, clients often experience a transformation in their emotional response to the traumatic events, leading to greater emotional well-being and an improved quality of life. EMDR is a powerful tool for individuals seeking to move beyond the impact of trauma and find healing and resolution.

How do you know if you need therapy?
You might be feeling overwhelmed, underwhelmed or just off-balance. Over the past few years, it seems as though the whole world has stopped, but the nagging insecurities, doubts and critical voices in your head stayed busier than ever.
Being off-balance impacts your relationships, family life, school and workplace. If you are unsure what service you need, it may be helpful to talk with a mental health or wellness professional to understand your treatment choices.

What is therapy?
Therapy offers a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. During therapy sessions, your Headlight therapist will actively listen and provide guidance and insights to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and your challenges. Talk therapy can address a variety of mental health concerns, from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship issues. Headlight’s clinicians are experienced in various therapeutic approaches and techniques and offer in-person or virtual sessions.
What is the difference between therapy and psychiatry?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.
Why is it so important to find the right therapist?
Finding the right therapist is so important as it establishes a foundation of trust, creating a safe space for open communication. A well-matched therapist can better understand your individual needs, ensuring personalized support and enhancing the effectiveness of the therapeutic process.
