EMDR Therapy
A core part of how we work with trauma. Middle Way is one of the practices in NYC organized around EMDR as a specialty. See how EMDR works →
Most people start with weekly therapy. Some need a different shape: a focused intensive, a structured program, or a monthly rhythm after the active work is done. You can start in one format and move to another as your life changes.
Consistent, ongoing work. The core of what we do.
Concentrated three-to-six-hour sessions for EMDR trauma work or couples work, when focused time moves things faster than weekly.
Time-limited programs with clear goals, including the Safe and Sound Protocol.
A check-in rhythm for couples who've completed weekly work. One session a month, framed as a relationship check-up.
Send us a note or call. Our intake coordinator gets back to you, learns what you're looking for, and talks through whether Middle Way is a fit.
With the basics aligned, our intake coordinator talks with you about what you're looking for and connects you with the therapists or programs that fit. You meet them for a free 15-minute consult, a chance to see what feels right.
Start with weekly therapy, a focused intensive, or a structured program, with the therapist who's the right match.
As your life changes, the work can change with it. That's by design.
What you need from therapy at the start often isn't what you need a year in. We're built for that. A weekly therapist who knows your history. An intensive when something specific needs focused time. A program when nervous-system work is the right next step. A monthly rhythm when things are steady.
More than one format can run at the same time. A weekly client might add a focused intensive to work on a specific issue. An individual client might start couples work alongside their own.
After your first session, we check in to make sure the match feels right with the therapist we matched you with. The practice stays in the loop, always available, even beyond your work with your therapist.

I would highly recommend the process at Middle Way for anyone looking for more emotional intelligence and self discovery, not just those struggling.· Middle Way Client
Our therapists are licensed in New York and trauma-informed. We meet weekly as a team for case consultation and continuing education, so the care you get reflects current research, not a frozen training from years ago. We pull from EMDR, the Gottman Method, somatic therapies, mindfulness, and the Safe and Sound Protocol. We match the approach to the person.
