Group EMDR
Chavey Counseling is currently signing up participants for future EMDR groups. If you are interested in joining a group, please contact for more information or to reserve your spot in an upcoming session. Group therapy can be an incredible complement to individual work or a standalone option for those looking for collective healing.
Recent Traumatic Event
If you have experience a traumatic event in the last 2 months, Chavey Counseling offers a monthly drop-in R-TEP sessions for those needing short-term support after a recent traumatic event. These drop-in sessions provide immediate relief and processing in a group setting, helping participants move through the initial stages of trauma healing.
R-TEP is a specialized EMDR protocol designed to help individuals process recent traumatic events. This short-term therapy typically involves 1 to 2 sessions and provides a focused approach to address trauma that has occurred within a recent time frame. R-TEP can be incredibly effective for processing the impact of fresh trauma, helping you to move forward with less emotional distress.

How Does Group EMDR Work?
A client will first be sent a number of pre-assessment forms to assess if they would be a good fit for Group EMDR or if they would better be served by Individual EMDR services.
After the group facilitators review the forms, a follow up call will be had between the therapist and client to confirm expectations of group EMDR therapy.
In a group EMDR session, participants will first be introduced to the purpose and structure of the group. Each session typically lasts 90 minutes and includes:
-
Check-ins: A brief sharing period where participants can express their current feelings or thoughts.
-
Education: Information on the EMDR process and how it will be used during the session.
-
Processing: Group members will engage in EMDR therapy, focusing on their individual issues while benefiting from the collective support of the group.
-
Support and Sharing: Participants may share insights or experiences, fostering a sense of community and understanding. Each session is designed to create a safe and supportive environment where healing can occur collectively.
