Integrating EMDR, clinical research & evidence-based therapy to foster meaningful change.

Our Mission

At Soho Integrative EMDR, our heartfelt mission extends beyond therapy—it's a commitment to journey alongside individuals as they navigate through the complexities of healing from trauma. Our approach hinges on the transformative power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a proven therapeutic method that specifically addresses the lingering shadows of traumatic memories.

We don't just see patients; we see courageous individuals ready to take pivotal steps toward recovery. Our team of psychologists provides a haven where clients can explore, understand, and eventually unburden themselves from the painful hold of their past experiences. In our welcoming spaces, we emphasize creating an environment that is not only safe but also empowering, where every person can rediscover their strength, instill newfound hope, and stride confidently towards a future unencumbered by the weight of the past. The balance we strike between professional expertise and genuine care forms the cornerstone of our holistic, integrative approach towards healing and personal development.
