EMDR therapy is effective for a wide range of experiences.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a research-backed therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge. Xuan uses EMDR alongside somatic, IFS-informed, and psychodynamic approaches.
PTSD & Complex Trauma
Childhood trauma, developmental wounds, sexual trauma, accidents, medical trauma — EMDR addresses the root memory networks driving ongoing distress.
Anxiety & Panic
Persistent anxiety that doesn’t respond to logic often has roots in unprocessed experience. EMDR helps address those deeper sources of fear and hypervigilance.
Grief & Loss
Whether from death, diagnosis, infertility, identity loss, or life transition — EMDR can help the grieving process move forward with less emotional blockage.
Cross-Cultural & Immigrant Stress
Acculturative stress, belonging struggles, identity conflict, and the emotional weight of living between cultures — Xuan brings both clinical skill and personal understanding to this work.
Women’s Mental Health
Infertility, IVF grief, pregnancy loss, postpartum adjustment, caregiver burnout — Xuan offers a space where the full complexity of women’s emotional lives is honored.
High-Achieving Adults
Professionals who appear highly functional externally while carrying perfectionism, burnout, attachment wounds, or existential anxiety — Xuan understands this profile deeply.
Healing happens through relationship, empathy, and attuned connection.
Xuan’s clinical work is grounded in EMDR and enriched by mindfulness, somatic approaches, IFS-informed work, psychodynamic and self-psychology perspectives, narrative therapy, family systems, and attachment theory.
She understands that trauma is often not limited to a single event — it may develop through chronic stress, relational wounds, cultural dislocation, or experiences that leave a person feeling unseen, unsafe, or alone. She believes healing happens through relationship and attuned human connection, and she offers a warm, reflective, culturally sensitive space where clients can process pain, deepen self-understanding, and move toward integration and self-trust.
Xuan is bilingual and brings a cross-cultural lens to every client relationship. She works with immigrants, bicultural individuals, and cross-cultural families with genuine understanding of the emotional complexity of living between worlds. Learn more about Chinese counseling services at MindLift.
About EMDR therapy with Xuan
What is EMDR and how does it work?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that uses bilateral stimulation — such as guided eye movements — to help the brain reprocess distressing memories. Rather than just talking about what happened, EMDR helps the brain fully process the experience so it no longer triggers the same emotional and physiological response. It is recognized by the American Psychological Association and the EMDR International Association as an effective trauma treatment.
Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
No. One of EMDR’s unique strengths is that clients do not have to verbally recount every detail of traumatic events. The processing happens internally, guided by Xuan, which many clients find less re-traumatizing than traditional talk therapy approaches.
How many sessions does EMDR take?
It varies by individual. Some clients experience meaningful shifts in 6–12 sessions for single-event trauma; complex or developmental trauma typically requires a longer course of treatment. Xuan will discuss a realistic treatment timeline with you during your initial consultation.
Does Xuan accept insurance?
Xuan is currently completing the insurance credentialing process. In the meantime, she offers private pay sessions at $150 per session. If you have out-of-network benefits, MindLift’s system can help submit claims automatically so you may seek reimbursement from your insurance. Contact us at info@mindliftalliance.com with questions.
