EMDR Therapist in the Los Angeles area
EMDR helps your brain process and release experiences that feel stuck — so they no longer carry the same emotional weight.
Whether you're navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or distressing memories that won't quiet down, EMDR is an evidence-based approach that goes beyond talk therapy — helping your nervous system actually resolve what it's been holding.
At Tonalli Therapy & Consulting, we offer EMDR therapy for adults and teens in Los Angeles, the greater metropolitan LA County area, and throughout California via secure telehealth.
What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy widely used by trauma therapists. Rather than only talking through difficult experiences, EMDR helps your nervous system actually resolve them.
This can reduce:
Emotional intensity tied to past events
Triggers and reactivity
Negative beliefs about yourself
Anxiety and body-based stress responses
What EMDR Can Help With
EMDR therapy can be helpful for:
Trauma and PTSD
Childhood experiences or attachment wounds
Anxiety and panic
Phobias
Grief and loss
Medical trauma or stressful life events
Our Approach to EMDR
At our Orinda and virtual therapy practice, we practice EMDR through a trauma-informed, culturally aware lens — especially for clients carrying intergenerational trauma, immigration stress, or experiences that have never felt safe to talk about before.
This means:
We prioritize safety and pacing
You are never pushed to go faster than you’re ready for
We integrate grounding and stabilization tools throughout the process
Your identity and lived experience are always considered
What to Expect in EMDR Therapy
EMDR is structured, but still flexible and collaborative.
We’ll begin with:
Building coping tools and emotional safety
Identifying target memories or experiences
Gradually processing at a pace that feels manageable
Our therapists bring a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach to every session.
