Online EMDR Therapy
in Toronto and Ontario

EMDR follows a structured, gentle eight-phase protocol to ensure you feel safe and supported:

1. History & Treatment Planning .  We explore your needs and build a personalized plan.

2. Preparation. You learn grounding and regulation tools to help you feel stable.

3. Assessment. We identify the target memory and the beliefs, emotions, and sensations attached to it.

4. Desensitization. You focus on the memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation.

5. Installation. We strengthen new, positive beliefs that replace old negative ones.

6. Body Scan. We check for any remaining tension or distress in the body.

7. Closure. You leave the session grounded and steady.

8. Re-evaluation. At the next session, we assess progress and continue the healing work.

EMDR therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of issues, including:

• Trauma and Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Anxiety disorders
• Depression
• Phobias
• Chronic pain

EMDR may be right for you if:

• You’re tired of carrying the weight of the past

• Certain memories or patterns still feel too “big”

• You want a therapy that goes beyond talking

• Your body still reacts to things your mind knows are over

• You want a gentle, structured approach that respects your pace

• You’re ready for deeper emotional and nervous system healing

EMDR is especially helpful if you’ve tried traditional therapy but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.

EMDR is not about reliving trauma.  It’s not about telling your story over and over.

Instead, it’s about creating safety in your nervous system and allowing your mind to reprocess memories that are still causing distress.

Many people describe EMDR sessions as:

• Grounding

• Emotionally freeing

• Deeply calming

• Insightful

• Transformative

Your therapist walks with you every step of the way.

You stay present. You stay in control.

Unlike many therapies that focus only on thoughts, EMDR works with:

• Your mind (beliefs, emotions, meaning)

• Your brain (memory networks, processing)

• Your body (nervous system, sensations, tension)

This creates a holistic, brain-body approach to trauma healing one that doesn’t force anything, but gently allows healing to unfold.

At Sky Therapies, EMDR sessions are:

• Warm

• Trauma-informed

• Nervous-system aware

• Safe and carefully paced

• Tailored to your emotional capacity

• Integrated with DBR, somatics, PRT, and mind-body healing when helpful

Your comfort always comes first.
Your pace matters.
Your experience is honored.

Still Unsure? That’s OK

It’s normal to have questions.
It’s normal to wonder if you’re ready.
It’s normal to feel hopeful and cautious at the same time.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and we’re here to help you explore what feels right for you without pressure.
