Trauma-Focused Therapy Services: EMDR Weekly and Intensive Sessions
I primarily work with clients who have experienced recent trauma or challenging events through traditional weekly EMDR therapy or EMDR Intensive sessions. Clients seeking to focus on a specific issue can benefit from an EMDR Intensive, which is therapy provided in a condensed format—such as multiple sessions per week or extended sessions scheduled closely together. I can also work as an adjunct therapist alongside your primary therapist to help resolve specific issues that may not be improving with traditional therapy.
Trauma can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you’re looking for weekly therapy or a focused EMDR Intensive, Tracey is here to guide you through the healing process. Take the first step toward reclaiming your life—reach out today to schedule your initial consultation.
As an integrative EMDR therapist, I use the adaptive information processing model to understand a client’s current symptoms, behaviors, and thought patterns. This model explains how trauma and challenging events can become ‘stuck’ in our brains, leading to difficulties in different areas of life. By combining EMDR Therapy with somatic experiencing and mindfulness practices, I help clients heal from past trauma and unlock their full potential. learn more about EMDR therapy by watching this brief video, or by visiting the EMDR International Association.

EMDR Therapy FAQ's
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma-related issues. It helps individuals process and resolve traumatic memories, as well as other emotional challenges like depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. EMDR therapy can lead to lasting results by reprocessing stuck or unresolved memories.
What is the difference between traditional EMDR therapy and EMDR Intensives?
Traditional EMDR therapy consists of weekly sessions, where the therapist and client work on trauma processing over time. An EMDR Intensive involves multiple, closely scheduled sessions (e.g., several hours per day or several sessions a week) to focus on specific issues in a condensed timeframe. This is ideal for clients who want more focused and rapid progress.
How do I know if an EMDR Intensive is right for me?
An EMDR Intensive is suitable for clients looking to work on a specific issue that can be addressed within a short period. It can also be beneficial if you want faster results or have limited time available for therapy. Tracey will help determine if an EMDR Intensive is appropriate for your situation during an initial consultation.
Can I continue working with my current therapist and receive EMDR therapy from Tracey?
Yes! Tracey offers adjunct therapy services, meaning she can work alongside your current therapist to address specific trauma-related issues that may not be resolving through traditional therapy alone. This approach ensures you receive the focused EMDR support you need without interrupting your ongoing therapeutic work.
What is the Adaptive Information Processing model in EMDR therapy?
The Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model is the foundation of EMDR therapy. It explains how trauma and other negative experiences can become stuck in the brain, leading to ongoing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or negative self-beliefs. EMDR helps reprocess these stuck memories, enabling healthier emotional and psychological functioning.
What other approaches does Tracey integrate into EMDR therapy?
In addition to EMDR Therapy, Tracey integrates Somatic Experiencing and mindfulness techniques into her practice. These methods help clients connect the mind and body, allowing for a more holistic healing process that addresses both emotional and physical aspects of trauma.
Are therapy sessions available in-person or virtually?
Therapy sessions are available both in-person at Tracey’s office in Syracuse, NY, and virtually through a secure, HIPAA-compliant Zoom platform. This flexibility allows you to choose the setting that works best for your needs and comfort.
Does Tracey accept insurance for EMDR therapy?
Tracey does not participate in insurance networks. You will need to check your out-of-network benefits to determine whether you can receive reimbursement for therapy sessions. Keep in mind that EMDR Intensives are typically not covered by insurance.
