Christian EMDR Therapy
Christian EMDR therapy at Simmeth Counseling Group is standard, evidence-based EMDR done by therapists who understand that for many clients, faith is not a side topic. It is the framework through which the whole of life gets its meaning, including the painful parts.
We work with clients from many worldviews. Our Christian clients often heal most fully when their faith is welcomed into the therapy room rather than politely set aside. That means:
- Scripture, prayer, or a felt sense of God’s presence can be part of the processing, when it is meaningful to you.
- Your understanding of forgiveness, grace, and suffering is respected as we move through difficult material.
- Faith is treated as a genuine resource for trauma recovery, not a topic to be managed around.
The EMDR technique itself is standard. What is different is that your Christian identity does not need to be bracketed out for the work to happen. It can be part of what makes the work possible.
We offer Christian EMDR therapy in-person at our La Cañada Flintridge office and by HIPAA-compliant telehealth throughout California. Christian clients from Pasadena, Glendale, and the greater Los Angeles area have found this approach a fit when other therapy has felt like it was asking them to leave a large part of themselves at the door.
