At The Brannen Center, we provide highly specialized, evidence-based EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy to help individuals move past the heavy burdens of trauma, chronic stress, and PTSD. While our clinical roots began in Athens, Georgia, we have expanded our reach to serve two distinct local communities. We offer our integrated trauma care through dedicated, in-person teams at both our original Athens clinic and our Alpharetta office, alongside comprehensive telehealth options for residents across the state.

EMDR  uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to allow your brain and nervous system to "reprocess" traumatic memories so that they are no longer overwhelming and disturbing.  Even if you already understand where your trauma symptoms come from, EMDR works to remove the automatic reactions, body tension, and nervous system dysregulation that it is hard to shift with traditional talk therapy.
 

EMDR does not require you to "tell the story" of your trauma, and it has become much more well-known in the last decade because of how powerful it can be.  EMDR is helpful for treating trauma of all kinds, and it can bring great relief for those who are suffering acute mental, emotional, and even physical symptoms.
