What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gentle, research-backed therapy that helps clients heal from overwhelming or traumatic experiences. Through guided left–right eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain “unstick” painful memories so they feel less intense and less emotionally charged

What makes EMDR different from other therapies? 
EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing event or completing homework between sessions. Instead of focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, EMDR helps the brain resume its natural healing process.

Who can Benefit From EMDR Therapy?
EMDR therapy helps children and adults of all ages. Donatella uses EMDR therapy to address a wide range of challenges such as: Anxiety and phobias, Depression, Grief and loss, Childhood trauma, Post-traumatic stress disorder.

How is EMDR adapted for Children?
Big feelings and hard experiences can sometimes get “stuck” in a child’s brain and body. EMDR helps children safely process those memories so they can think, feel, and play more freely again. Donatella uses gentle, developmentally appropriate methods—combining storytelling, play, and creative tools—to help children reprocess difficult experiences in a way that feels safe and empowering. Whether your child has experienced a stressful event, ongoing anxiety, or struggles with self-esteem, EMDR can help their brain build new connections for calm, confidence, and resilience.
