At Integrative Creative Therapy, we provide EMDR therapy in Yonkers, NY, for individuals seeking relief from trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress. Our approach blends evidence-based techniques with creative and somatic practices to support deep, lasting healing.
We understand that traditional talk therapy does not work for everyone. That’s why we incorporate trauma-informed neurodivergent affirming creative arts and music therapy, offering alternative ways to process emotions and experiences. Whether you are struggling with past trauma, anxiety, or feeling stuck, we are here to support your journey toward healing.
If you are looking for EMDR therapy that is compassionate, personalized, and effective, our expert therapists are ready to guide you.
How EMDR Therapy Can Help You Heal
EMDR therapy is a structured, research-supported approach that helps individuals reprocess distressing memories so they no longer have the same emotional impact. By using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, the brain reorganizes traumatic experiences, allowing for healing and emotional relief.
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we offer EMDR therapy in Yonkers for individuals dealing with:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and unresolved trauma
- Anxiety and panic attacks that interfere with daily life
- Depression linked to past experiences and negative self-beliefs
- Grief and loss that feels overwhelming or difficult to process
- Stress caused by major life transitions, relationship struggles, or unexpected challenges
- Childhood trauma and difficult relationship dynamics
Many of our clients find that EMDR therapy helps them break free from the emotional distress caused by past experiences. Over time, it becomes easier to move forward with confidence and resilience.
Creative Arts and Music Therapy: A Unique Approach to Healing
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we believe that healing does not always happen through words. Many individuals, particularly neurodivergent clients, process emotions more effectively through creative expression rather than verbal communication. That’s why we integrate trauma-informed neurodivergent affirming creative arts and music therapy with EMDR therapy.
This approach is particularly beneficial for those who:
- Find it difficult to express emotions verbally or feel stuck in traditional therapy
- Are neurodivergent and benefit from sensory-friendly and movement-based therapy
- Experience anxiety or emotional distress and need alternative ways to regulate emotions
- 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 and process trauma in a nonverbal way. This approach helps individuals externalize complex feelings in a safe and creative environment.
Music Therapy
Playing instruments, songwriting, or listening to music as a way to regulate emotions. Music can be a powerful tool for reducing stress and expressing emotions that feel difficult to verbalize.
Movement & Dance
Using body movement to release stored trauma and reconnect with the self. Physical movement can help individuals process emotions in a way that feels natural and intuitive.
Poetry & Journaling
Expressing thoughts through writing to process past experiences and gain self-awareness. Writing can provide clarity and help clients organize their thoughts and emotions.
By incorporating EMDR therapy with creative arts and music therapy, we create a flexible and supportive healing experience that meets each client’s unique needs.

Combining Somatic IFS Therapy with EMDR Therapy
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we integrate Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy with EMDR therapy to create a holistic and deeply effective healing experience. Somatic IFS therapy recognizes that the mind consists of different “parts,” some of which carry emotional wounds from past experiences.
By combining EMDR therapy with Somatic IFS techniques, we create a comprehensive approach that helps clients process past trauma while deepening their connection to themselves.
Through Somatic IFS therapy, we help clients:
- Identify and understand different emotional parts and how they influence thoughts and behaviors
- Recognize where trauma is stored in the body and use movement-based techniques for release
- Practice grounding exercises such as breathwork to create emotional stability
- Develop self-compassion by engaging with inner parts in a nonjudgmental and supportive way
- Reconnect with their Self-Energy, the inner core that fosters healing and emotional balance
