EMDR
Therapy
with Natalie Saada, MA, LMHC
I help women process underlying experiences using EMDR so they feel less stuck, less reactive, and more steady in their day-to-day lives.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process distressing memories and experiences so they no longer feel as emotionally intense or disruptive in your daily life.
You may understand what happened.
But it still affects how you feel.
How you react.
How you relate to others.
How you think about yourself.
Not just one event.
Sometimes a pattern.
Sometimes something harder to fully name.
You’re in the right place if you feel like you’ve already made sense of your experiences, but still feel stuck emotionally, reactive, or weighed down by them.
You may be experiencing:
Feeling stuck even though you have insight
Emotional reactions that feel disproportionate or hard to control
Persistent anxiety, tension, or feeling “on edge”
Patterns in relationships that are difficult to change
Self-blame, pressure, or a harsh inner voice
Memories or experiences that still feel present
Women come to me for:
Processing past experiences that still feel unresolved
Working through childhood or early relational dynamics
Understanding patterns that have developed over time
Reducing emotional reactivity and internal pressure
Feeling more grounded and less impacted by the past
Having a structured way to work through what feels stuck
How EMDR Therapy With Me Works
EMDR is structured and my approach allows us to pace the process with care.
We begin by understanding your history, what’s bringing you in, and building tools so you feel grounded and supported before moving into deeper work.
EMDR focuses on helping the brain “reprocess” experiences that may have been stored in a more overwhelming or fragmented way. During sessions, you bring a memory, feeling, or belief to mind while engaging in bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping).
You don’t need to explain everything in detail. Instead, you notice what comes up while your brain works through it.
I guide you throughout, checking in regularly and adjusting the pace so it feels manageable. You’re not reliving the experience — you’re processing it in a way that allows it to settle.
Over time, many women notice that what once felt intense feels less charged, with more clarity, perspective, and ease.
After EMDR therapy, women often notice:
Less emotional intensity around past experiences
Fewer triggers or feeling less reactive
More grounded and steady day to day
A clearer sense of perspective and self-trust
Less feeling “on guard” or stuck in patterns
More ease internally
About Me
Hi, I’m Natalie Saada. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
I’m drawn to the experience of motherhood because it holds so much change — in your identity, your relationships, and how you experience yourself day to day. As both a therapist and a mother, I understand how easy it is to feel stretched thin while still trying to hold everything together. But I believe that motherhood can be deeply meaningful and even magical at times, and I see my role as helping you stay connected to yourself so you can fully experience that.
In therapy, I create a space where you can be honest about what you’re feeling during pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood, with a focus on both insight and practical support that helps you feel more steady in your daily life.
