Trauma Therapy, EMDR & EMDR Intensives
Specialized care for the things that don't always fit neatly into a 50-minute conversation.
Trauma can come from one event, years of exposure, or experiences you didn't realize were still affecting you. Our clinicians provide specialized trauma treatment designed around what you're experiencing—not around forcing you into one particular type of therapy.

You don't need to know which therapy method you need before making an appointment.
Your therapist will help determine the approach that best fits what you're experiencing, your goals, and where you are in the process.
Specialized Training Across Our Clinical Team
Most Inner Circle clinicians are EMDR trained, with additional clinicians trained in CPT and IFS.
The specific approach used in therapy depends on your needs and your clinician's training.
EMDR Intensives are provided exclusively by our Clinical Director Catherine Chapman. Please call 405-215-9221 to set up a consult.

You don't have to have PTSD to benefit from trauma therapy.

Treatment may incorporate approaches such as:
EMDR • CPT • IFS • Trauma-informed psychotherapy

Sometimes talking about it isn't enough.
EMDR is a structured therapy designed to help the brain process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional and physical intensity that can remain connected to them.
It may be used for:
Traumatic experiences
Distressing memories
Triggers and intrusive thoughts
Negative beliefs connected to past experiences
Trauma-related emotional and physical reactions

Most Inner Circle clinicians are EMDR trained.

Sometimes an hour just isn't enough.
EMDR Intensives provide an extended block of dedicated therapeutic time so you can get into the work and stay there instead of repeatedly stopping and restarting.

More Than a Certification
Our clinicians don't just complete a training and move on.
They work every day with people in high-trauma and high-stress fields, including:
Law enforcement
Fire and EMS
911 and emergency communications
Veterans and military families
Healthcare professionals
Crisis-response professionals
Other high-pressure and trauma-exposed careers
That experience matters.
It means your therapist is more likely to understand things like cumulative exposure, dark humor, hypervigilance, shift work, critical incidents, moral injury, relationship strain, sleep disruption, identity tied to the job, and the difficulty of turning work mode off when you get home.
In Norman or Online Across Oklahoma
Specialized care should not require living near a major city.
Inner Circle offers in-person therapy in Norman and secure online therapy throughout Oklahoma, allowing clients in rural and underserved communities to access clinicians with specialized training without making the drive to Norman.
Our clinicians are currently licensed in Oklahoma, so clients must be physically located in Oklahoma at the time of a telehealth appointment.
