EMDR Therapy Nashville is a mental health counseling and psychotherapy practice in Nashville, Tennessee. The practice describes itself as a Tennessee-based therapist collective offering both telehealth and in-person counseling, with a primary focus on trauma processing and resolution using evidence-based approaches. It centers its work on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy while integrating a range of complementary modalities for clients dealing with trauma, anxiety, and related concerns.
Services
The practice offers EMDR therapy alongside a broad set of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Polyvagal Theory-based therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, and Talk Therapy. The practice emphasizes building personalized, comprehensive treatment plans rather than relying on a single modality.
The practice describes EMDR as an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process distressing memories, trauma, and negative self-beliefs. It explains that EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds, to help the brain reprocess traumatic experiences, which it says can support faster emotional healing than traditional talk therapy alone. The practice outlines a four-phase structure: history and assessment, preparation and coping strategies, desensitization and reprocessing, and integration and healing.
According to the practice, EMDR and its broader approach can help with conditions including PTSD, complex PTSD, and non-PTSD trauma, anxiety and panic attacks, flashbacks, depression, phobias, emotional triggers, and distressing memories. It also addresses relationship and interpersonal difficulties, work disruption, and general life dissatisfaction. Its stated specialties include relational trauma, childhood trauma, and single-event trauma.
About
The practice was founded by Robert DeSalvo, a therapist who focuses on helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and PTSD.

The practice describes its therapists as highly trained and skilled across multiple therapeutic modalities. It states that it is LGBQIA+ affirming and emphasizes the worth, value, and dignity of all people.
