Speak with a Sol clinical member today to learn more about how Sol's Intensive Outpatient treatment center in Riverside can help treat your EMDR Therapy.
EMDR therapy in Riverside helps women gently reprocess traumatic memories in an all-female outpatient setting. At Sol Women’s Treatment, EMDR is offered in person within our women-only PHP, IOP, and OP programs, at a pace you set, with a therapist who never asks you to retell every detail.
Trauma-informed EMDR, shaped around women
Many women arrive carrying trauma that has never had a safe place to be heard. EMDR gives that a gentle, structured way forward. Rather than talking through every painful detail, you work with a therapist to loosen the hold a memory still has, so it takes up less room in your day.
EMDR is always delivered one to one, in a women-only space, and woven into the rest of your therapy at Sol so nothing you uncover is left without support.

What is EMDR Therapy
EMDR helps your brain reprocess painful memories so they carry less weight today. In session, you hold a memory in mind for short stretches while your therapist guides gentle bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or tones) and your nervous system settles. The memory stays, but the charge around it softens, and kinder beliefs about yourself have room to take hold.
What EMDR can help with
Trauma and PTSD, including sexual assault, domestic violence, and childhood trauma
"Complex trauma and PTSD are life-altering. They can affect your overall wellbeing, your physical health, and your ability to feel close to others. That is why the early work matters so much: a certified EMDR therapist understands the emotional and physical imprint trauma leaves on the body, and helps you slow down and build the skills to stay steady, so your nervous system is never flooded as you move through your trauma. Complex PTSD and attachment wounds need that extra care and planning, and recognising them is part of finding the right therapist for you."

How EMDR Therapy Helps With Trauma and Mental Health
Less charge on difficult memories. As a memory is reprocessed, the reaction it sets off tends to feel more manageable day to day.
Room for kinder beliefs. EMDR gives space for beliefs like "I am unsafe" or "it was my fault" to give way to something truer.
Support for a settled nervous system. Bilateral stimulation is used to help you come back toward your window of tolerance rather than staying in fight, flight, or freeze.
Skills you keep. Preparation and closure build grounding, mindfulness, and self-soothing you can use between sessions.
Care that holds the whole picture. EMDR sits alongside the rest of your plan rather than standing apart from it, including trauma therapy and somatic work.
"Shifting core beliefs like self-blame matters because they take root in how a woman sees herself and her trauma, feeding shame and guilt. Easing symptoms brings real relief in the moment, and gently reshaping those beliefs is what allows for deeper healing, so a woman can hold a kinder, more accurate understanding of what happened and of who she is beyond it."
Women-only housing with a 24/7 female house manager, paired with PHP or IOP.
Gives you a steady, all-female place to land while you do trauma work in the program.
EMDR Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
For some women, intrusive thoughts and compulsions trace back to earlier experiences of threat or shame. In a women-only setting, EMDR can help ease the emotional charge around those experiences, which can make obsessions and urges feel less commanding. At Sol, EMDR is individualized and often paired with CBT or DBT skills within PHP, IOP, or OP, so the work connects to everyday life.
A women-only space. Groups, housing, and individual sessions are all designed for women, which for many clients is what makes trauma work feel possible.
Small groups. Group sizes typically run in the 6 to 8 client range, so you are known rather than processed.
You keep control of the pace. You can pause at any point, and you are never asked to retell every detail for EMDR to work.
Support around the therapy.Somatic work, mindfulness, and group therapy sit alongside EMDR so what surfaces in session has somewhere to go.
"A women-only environment can create a deeper sense of safety, comfort, and trust, especially for women whose trauma involved men. When a woman feels less guarded and more understood, she is often more able to be vulnerable, to take part in trauma processing, and to engage fully in her own healing."
EMDR is used for trauma and PTSD, anxiety and panic, phobias, and depression connected to traumatic experiences. It can also support women working through co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, held within one trauma-informed plan.
