What is an EMDR Group?
EMDR Groups are structured group spaces in which participants can engage in personal healing without telling their stories out loud. EMDR Groups provide a contained way to help renew a sense of safety, presence, and ease. EMDR Groups use what is called EMDR G-TEP (Group Traumatic Events Protocol)—a trauma-informed, research based, powerful approach to increase ability to respond more adaptively to stress. EMDR Groups use traditional components of EMDR therapy, including bilateral stimulation (tapping in this case) to help the brain and body process stress and trauma. In EMDR groups, there is no need to share your story out loud. All of our EMDR Groups are offered virtually in the comfort of your home or whatever space you choose that feels good to you.
If you are unfamiliar with EMDR, and are interested in learning more, EMDRIA is a great place to start to learn about the traditional individual EMDR experience that Group EMDR is adapted from.
About the Facilitator
Hi, I'm Beth (they/them).
I'm a queer, nonbinary (they/them), gender affirming, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, trauma informed, anti-oppression oriented therapist. I am trained in EMDR, with additional training in RTEP (Recent Traumatic Episodes Protocol) and GTEP (Group Traumatic Episodes Protocol) to respond in a timely way to continuous, cumulative, concurrent, or single incidents that cause trauma or stress.
About the Co-Facilitator
Hi, I'm Melanie (she/her).
I am a white, cisgender, heterosexual woman, and I recognize the privileges that come with my identity. I am deeply committed to creating a welcoming, affirming, and safe space for all clients—especially those within the LGBTQIA+ community.
As a therapist, I actively work to educate myself, challenge biases, and stand as an advocate and ally. I believe in honoring each person’s lived experience, and I approach therapy with humility, compassion, and a strong dedication to inclusion and equity.
You deserve to be seen, heard, and supported exactly as you are.
