What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapeutic method proven effective for trauma and related concerns. During EMDR therapy, you focus briefly on distressing memories while engaging in gentle bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping. This process helps reduce the vividness and emotional charge of painful memories, without requiring you to talk in detail about what happened.
Many clients find relief knowing they don’t have to share every aspect of their painful experiences. EMDR therapy allows your brain’s natural healing abilities to resume, helping you process and release what has kept you feeling trapped.

Whether someone seeks EMDR therapy in Brookfield as their primary treatment or as short-term support alongside ongoing therapy, Margaret is dedicated to helping them move forward.
Adjunct EMDR Therapy
In addition to working with her clients, Margaret Offenbacher offers adjunct EMDR therapy. Individuals in talk therapy may sometimes feel stuck when traumatic memories keep resurfacing or blocking progress. Adjunct EMDR therapy can help clear barriers and restore forward mental movement.
