EMDR Therapy
Appointment Information
EMDR is a therapy modality that occurs over 8-phases, this means that patients will move through various phases of EMDR treatment guided by your psychologist. Find out more about EMDR at Conscious Mind Centre here.
Initial Assessment, Stabilisation Phase, and Standard Processing EMDR: $230 (50-minutes)
The initial intake appointment and stabilisation appointments will be equivalent to a standard 50 minute individual therapy appointment. The initial assessment is an in-depth evaluation to understand your needs and determine if EMDR is appropriate for your situation. Standard processing appointments lasting 50-minutes may be suitable for single incident traumas, single episode depression, anxiety, and mild PTSD experiences.
Extended EMDR Processing Appointments: $345 (80-minutes)
Extended EMDR Processing appointments are a longer session. This is intentional to ensure the EMDR process is completed from start to end of the session and you are not left with residual distress. Extended EMDR processing appointments may be more suitable to Complex PTSD, repeat traumatic experiences or recurrent depressive episodes. Your psychologist will discuss this with you during preparation for EMDR.
Treatment Duration
Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, trauma exposure, and response to treatment. In the literature, patients have reported noticing positive effects following as little as 1 processing appointment. The EMDR protocol suggests patients may need between 6-12 EMDR appointments for a single traumatic event including stablisiation. However, this is highly individual. During your initial assessment, your psychologist will discuss with you a more personalised estimate based on your specific needs.
