Trauma is not only what happened. It is what your nervous system did with it. EMDR and other trauma therapies finish the processing the brain got stuck on, at a pace you stay in control of.
Bridgehampton is a small village with agricultural roots, the Bridgehampton Commons retail strip, and a community that runs smaller and quieter than its neighbors. The Bridgehampton School District is small enough that a lot of social life happens through it, which has its upsides and its complications. People we see here are often dealing with the closeness of a small community in addition to whatever brought them in.
How trauma and emdr therapy works here
Our Clinical Director is EMDR-trained. EMDR uses a structured eight-phase protocol with bilateral stimulation while you hold a target memory or image in mind; you do not have to retell every detail. For trauma that needs other approaches first, we draw on trauma-focused CBT, cognitive processing therapy, and somatic work in a paced way.
What it costs
Practically: Bridgehampton residents are on a mix of commercial PPOs through Long Island employers. We are in network with most major plans and verify before the first session. With most in-network plans (Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Oxford, Northwell Direct), the typical out-of-pocket cost is between $0 and $40 per session, depending on your specific plan. Coverage may vary; we check your specific benefits in writing before your first session at no cost. Send your insurance information here.
If we are not in network with your plan, you may still have out-of-network benefits that reimburse a portion. See the payment options page for the Mentaya tool to check that quickly. Self-pay rates are listed there too.
Same-week openings, most weeks
We hold intake capacity so most weeks we can get you in within days, not months. Sessions are in person at our Long Island office or by secure video anywhere in New York State.
