EMDR Therapists in Cary, NC
In our work together, we may use EMDR to process trauma, somatic therapy to help your body feel safer and more regulated, Internal Family Systems or attachment centered approaches to support healthier patterns and deeper self understanding.
If you're exhausted from trying to manage on your own- whether you’re navigating trauma, ADHD, burnout, or the pressures of everyday life- I'm here to help. Healing begins in the nervous system and connection creates the optimal foundation for change. I provide a gentle, grounding presence; respecting your whole being: mind, body, heart, and relationships. I support women navigating “the mental load” and perfectionism, parents needing support and practical guidance, teens seeking safety to explore who they are and wanting to grow in self confidence, and neurodiverse folks who deserve to be "seen" and celebrated.

Hi, I’m Vatara, and I work with women standing at crossroads in their lives. You may be a high-capacity professional, caregiver, or leader who is used to managing everything for everyone else. You may be navigating a season that your old coping strategies do not touch: divorce or separation (especially high-conflict), workplace burnout or job loss, major role changes (caregiving, motherhood, relocation), or that ache of “I don’t recognize my life anymore.” This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about creating space to reconnect with yourself, move beyond survival mode, and discover what you want this next chapter of life to feel like.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
