Rivercrest Behavioral Health & Wellness Is Now Offering EMDR Therapy

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on a set of procedures using adaptive learning, cognitive behavioral and other therapy techniques, and bilateral stimulation to update memory network systems in the brain. Many controlled outcome studies have been done on EMDR therapy. It is now recognized as an effective treatment for trauma and other distressing conditions by the American Psychiatric Association, World Health Organization, and the Department of Defense.

Appointment space is limited. Please call our office 541-289-7777 or visit our website at https://rivercresthealth.com/ for more information or to schedule with one of our EMDR providers.

RBHW only accepts private insurance and is not in network with state insurance.
