Who Leads Our Support?
The Professionals Supporting Your EMDR Group
Wren Gore, LICSW, Certified EMDR Therapist licensed in Vermont and Massachusettes, has extensive experience facilitating EMDR groups, including humanitarian work through the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP) during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping individuals, families, therapists, and healthcare workers process trauma.

Together they provide a structured, supportive, and carefully monitored therapeutic experience.
What is EMDR Group Therapy
A Structured Protocol for Recent Traumatic Events
Unlike traditional talk therapy groups, EMDR group therapy allows participants to process difficult experiences without having to share personal details aloud. Using a structured EMDR protocol, participants work quietly on their own experiences while receiving guidance from trained facilitators in a safe group environment.
Benefits
Many participants report:
-
Reduced anxiety and emotional distress
-
Less tension and hypervigilance
-
Greater feelings of calm
-
Increased emotional resilience
-
Relief related to a specific difficult experience
Every person's experience is unique, and individual results cannot be guaranteed.

A Safe, Supportive Environment
Your privacy is important.

Sessions are held through HIPAA-compliant Zoom.
-
All participants agree to confidentiality guidelines.
-
Sharing personal details is optional.
-
EMDR processing occurs silently, so participants do not need to discuss their trauma with the group.
Because trauma processing can sometimes temporarily increase emotional distress, participants should have adequate support available outside of the group. The initial consultation helps determine whether this format is appropriate for your needs.
