Startup: Easy EMDR
At Easy EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) we build powerful tools to empower therapists. We believe everyone can benefit from therapy but many folks for whom it is critical are unable to receive the care they need. Over half of Americans will experience a traumatic episode during their lifetime (National Center for PTSD). Since 2016, we have made digital tools to help therapists better reach and treat clients, both remote and in person. Over 8,500 therapists use our platform to deliver treatment through a secure video interface augmented with our digital BLS (Bilateral Stimulus) and iOS app.
