My colleague, Marguerite Frarey, LCSW, and I run a monthly, free/pay-what-you-can, EMDR drop-in group.

We offer this group because we want to offer trauma therapy that is accessible to all, because healed people make up healed communities, and healed communities create healed societies.

For up-to-date information about our group dates, please visit us on Instagram at @communityEMDRnyc.

The Details

We host two different types of drop-in group sessions: Stabilization sessions and Reprocessing sessions. You must first attend a Stabilization session in order to attend a Reprocessing session. Once you’ve attended a Stabilization session, you are able to attend as many Reprocessing sessions as you’d like.

Stabilization sessions are held once every other month on a Friday evening, 6:30-8pm. Stabilization sessions are aimed at increasing attendees’ coping skills and resources so that they are better able to cope with a Reprocessing session. You can attend a Stabilization session without ever intending to attend a Reprocessing session. 

Reprocessing sessions are held monthly on a Friday evening 6:30-8pm. Reprocessing sessions are when trauma reprocessing occurs. This is when attendees focus on a specific traumatic event. We ask that you determine which event you'd like to reprocess before attending a Reprocessing session. These sessions are more intense than Stabilization sessions.
