How EMDR Therapy Can Help You Heal
EMDR therapy is an evidence-based treatment that helps individuals process distressing memories so they no longer have a strong emotional hold. By using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic experiences in a way that reduces distress and promotes healing.
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we use EMDR therapy in Rochester to help clients struggling with:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and past trauma
- Anxiety, panic attacks, and overwhelming stress
- Depression linked to difficult or unresolved experiences
- Grief and loss, including sudden or complex bereavement
- Negative self-beliefs and low self-esteem caused by past events
- Stress related to major life transitions or identity struggles
We understand that trauma affects each person differently, which is why we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs. Through EMDR therapy, many clients experience relief from distressing emotions and a renewed sense of control over their lives.
Creative Arts and Music Therapy: A Unique Approach to Healing
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we believe that healing isn’t always about words. Many individuals—especially neurodivergent clients—find that creative expression is a more effective way to process emotions than traditional talk therapy.
Our trauma-informed neurodivergent affirming creative arts and music therapy is designed to support clients who:
- Have difficulty expressing emotions verbally or feel stuck in traditional therapy
- Are neurodivergent and benefit from sensory-friendly or movement-based therapy
- Experience emotional overwhelm and need alternative ways to regulate feelings
- Want to explore healing through music, movement, visual arts, or writing
Some of the techniques we use include:
Visual Art
Drawing, painting, or sculpting to explore emotions without pressure to find the right words. Art-making can provide a safe, reflective space for processing complex feelings.
Music Therapy
Playing instruments, songwriting, or listening to music to regulate emotions and build self-expression skills. Music has a unique ability to engage the brain and promote relaxation.
Movement & Dance
Using body movement to release stored trauma and improve mind-body connection. This can be especially helpful for individuals who feel disconnected from their physical selves.
Poetry & Journaling
Expressing thoughts through writing to process past experiences and gain self-insight. Writing can help make sense of emotions that feel overwhelming or difficult to verbalize.
By integrating EMDR therapy with creative arts and music therapy, we offer a multidimensional healing experience tailored to your unique needs.

Combining Somatic IFS Therapy with EMDR Therapy
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we incorporate Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy with EMDR therapy to provide a comprehensive healing experience. This approach acknowledges that the mind consists of different parts, each with its own emotions, memories, and protective functions.
Through Somatic IFS therapy, we help clients:
- Identify different emotional parts and understand their role in past trauma
- Recognize how trauma is stored in the body and release tension through somatic awareness
- Use grounding techniques such as breathwork and movement to promote emotional regulation
- Develop self-compassion by engaging with inner parts in a supportive and nonjudgmental way
- Reconnect with their core Self-Energy to foster personal healing and growth
By integrating EMDR therapy with Somatic IFS techniques, we create a holistic approach that addresses both emotional and physical aspects of trauma.
