Trauma & EMDR Therapy in Reno

Difficult or overwhelming experiences can linger long after they’ve passed, affecting how you think, feel, and relate to others. At Mt. Rose Counseling and Wellness, we provide trauma-informed therapy in Reno, including EMDR therapy, to help clients process painful memories and move forward with greater ease and resilience.

Healing from trauma is possible. With the right support, many people find relief from symptoms and a renewed sense of stability and control.

We offer both in-person sessions in Reno and secure online therapy throughout Nevada.

What Trauma Can Look Like

Trauma does not always stem from a single event. It can arise from accidents, medical experiences, loss, childhood adversity, relationship injuries, or ongoing stress. You might notice:

  • Persistent anxiety or hypervigilance

  • Intrusive memories or flashbacks

  • Avoidance of reminders

  • Sleep difficulties

  • Emotional numbness or irritability

  • Feeling “stuck” in the past

If these experiences feel familiar, trauma-focused therapy may help.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. Many clients experience meaningful relief without needing to revisit every detail of their past.

EMDR can be effective for trauma, anxiety, phobias, performance blocks, and other stress-related concerns. Your therapist will carefully assess whether this approach is a good fit for you.

Our Approach to Trauma Care

We integrate EMDR with other evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and skills-based strategies. Treatment is paced thoughtfully, with an emphasis on safety, stabilization, and collaboration.

Our goal is to help you:

  • Feel more grounded and regulated

  • Reduce the intensity of difficult memories

  • Strengthen coping skills

  • Reconnect with a sense of choice and agency

You remain in control of the process at every step.
