Because Healing Doesn’t Have to Mean Reliving the Past
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer trigger intense emotional or physical reactions.
How it works:
Trauma can get “stuck” in the nervous system, leaving memories unprocessed. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements, tapping, or tones) to help the brain integrate those memories more adaptively.
Rather than erasing the past, EMDR helps change how the past lives in your present—so it no longer feels overwhelming or unsafe.
What Does EMDR Therapy Help With?
EMDR therapy helps with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, relationship wounds, and experiences that still feel emotionally charged—even if they happened long ago.
EMDR therapy in Pennsylvania is commonly used to support people dealing with:
PTSD and complex trauma
Childhood emotional neglect or attachment wounds
Relationship trauma or betrayal
Sexual or physical assault
Medical or birth trauma
Chronic anxiety linked to past experiences
Grief, loss, or sudden life events
Many clients seek EMDR after realizing that insight alone hasn’t created relief. EMDR works at the level where trauma is stored—helping the body and mind finally recognize that danger has passed.
What Makes EMDR Therapy at Relational Realm Different?
We focus on relational safety, in-session work, and trauma-informed pacing—not advice or quick fixes.

Hi, I’m Mariah.
“The past doesn’t have to keep calling the shots. With EMDR, you can finally feel what secure, steady connection is like…and trust yourself to keep it.”
If you’re tired of dating the same kind of person over and over, feeling like you can’t break out of old patterns, or replay family drama in your relationships, EMDR can actually help you shift what’s underneath it all. I work with people who feel stuck in their relationship patterns, are weighed down by the impact of immature parenting, or are caught in the anxious/avoidant cycle that makes relationships feel like a rollercoaster. Instead of just talking about your patterns, you’ll actually rewire them, so love and connection stop feeling like a trap and start feeling like home.
I see you. I’m here to help you:
Break the cycle of chasing, distancing, or “shutting down” in relationships
Recover from family dynamics that taught you to shrink or overperform for love
Get out of the rut of a stagnant love life and feel real aliveness again
Move from anxious or avoidant attachment into steady, secure connection
Finally feel like you’re living your own story—not your parents’
Hi, I’m Shira.
“You don’t have to just cope. You can rewire your mind and body, so you can stop reacting from past wounds and start living in the present.”
Sexual trauma and identity wounds don’t just live in your head, they live in your body, your relationships, and the way you see yourself. I offer EMDR in a space that’s safe, affirming, and built for healing, especially if you’re LGBTQ or a survivor of sexual assault. The goal isn’t just to “cope”, it’s to actually release the old pain so you can reclaim your body, your voice, and your right to relationships that feel good instead of scary or shame-filled.
We see you. We’re here to help you:
Release the hold of sexual trauma so you’re not stuck in defense mode
Drop the shame, self-blame, and silence that keep you disconnected
Rebuild your connection to desire, intimacy, and pleasure, on your own terms!
Feel safe and fully seen as an individual in your healing process
Reclaim your sense of self as whole, powerful, and enough
Our Approach to EMDR Therapy
Many of the deepest wounds come from relationships...
But healing also happens in safe relationships.
EMDR is designed to help you process painful memories, release stuck emotional patterns, and repair the impact of past relational trauma.
We combine EMDR’s science-backed techniques with a warm, relational style of therapy so that you can move from surviving past pain to creating a more fulfilling relational life now.
Less coping, more healing.
Talking about it helped (at first), but it didn’t change how you navigate conflict, hold your boundaries, or heal your triggers. It’s time to go deeper so you can truly thrive both alone and within your relationships! Schedule your consultation with our online trauma therapists today.
