Trauma does not have to define your daily life. At Building Harmony Counseling in Frisco, our trauma-informed therapists use evidence-based approaches, including EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), to help you process distressing memories and feel safer in the present.
Who this is for
This care may be a fit if you are experiencing:
PTSD or trauma symptoms
• Intrusive memories, nightmares, or feeling stuck in the past
• Anxiety or grief connected to painful experiences
• Distress related to first responder, military, or high-stress work
• A desire for focused trauma work through weekly therapy
You do not need a formal diagnosis to reach out. If something still feels unresolved, we can help you explore next steps.
How we help
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a well-researched therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic or distressing memories so they no longer feel as emotionally charged. Through bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), clients can reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and trauma while building more adaptive beliefs about themselves and their experiences. Our EMDR-trained therapists integrate this modality into individual or intensive sessions.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
ART is a brief, evidence-based treatment that helps clients quickly process and resolve distressing memories and images. Using guided eye movements and voluntary image replacement, ART often brings significant relief in just a few sessions — without requiring you to talk in detail about traumatic events. It can be especially helpful for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, and phobias.
What to expect
We move at a pace that respects your nervous system. You will not be forced to share details you are not ready to share. Together we will clarify goals, choose an approach that fits, and check in often about how the work feels.
Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need?
It varies. Some people notice meaningful relief in a shorter course of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR); others benefit from longer support.
