Kristin Padera

Padera Therapy & Wellness

LCPC, EMDR, PMH-C,

Licensed In:
Illinois, Iowa, Michigan
“I’m Kristin, a psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and founder of Padera Therapy and Wellness. I believe therapy works best when it honors your full humanity: your quirks, your wisdom, your messiness, and everything in between. I specialize in working with late-diagnosed neurodivergent female-identified, trans, and non-binary folx. I love working with parents, caretakers, trauma survivors, and those deconstructing from religious or spiritual trauma. As a sex therapist in training, I also love helping female identified/trans/non-binary clients reconnect with their bodies, pleasure, and sexuality, especially after pain, trauma, or years of self-neglect. I work primarily with trauma survivors and neurodivergent women/female identified clients who are navigating depression, life transitions, burnout, perinatal mental health or identity shifts. I’m especially passionate about supporting parents, caretakers, perfectionists, and folks deconstructing from rigid or harmful belief systems.”

Kylie Rogan

Ember Psychotherapy Collective

LICSW

Licensed In:
Massachusetts
“My ideal client is someone who is ready and motivated to dive in head first into their healing journey. Someone who knows they have their “stuff” but really wants to explore where it all stems from. I love working with those clients who just trying to figure it all out in this life (I see you, Millennials) and who are navigating the transitions and curveballs that can be thrown our way. I love meeting the client where they’re at to begin with, but don’t be surprised when I push you a little bit. I’ve been told that I have a really great way of understanding mental health, but I’m also known not to sugar coat the realities.”

About EMDR

Use the directory above to find a therapist who offers this approach. Compare profiles for their approach, availability, fees, and insurance.

Select the states where you’ll attend sessions, then ask the therapist to confirm they can work with you in each state.

What to expect

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy approach often used to help people process distressing memories, trauma, anxiety, panic, grief, and experiences that still feel emotionally “stuck.” EMDR uses structured steps that may include focusing on a memory, noticing body sensations or emotions, and using guided eye movements, tapping, or other forms of "bilateral stimulation" to reduce the emotional intensity of memories.

In online EMDR therapy, your therapist may start by teaching you skills for managing strong emotions and helping you feel prepared to approach distressing memories. EMDR may be worth exploring if you want a structured approach to working through difficult experiences without having to retell the details of the event.

How to choose a therapist

When comparing online EMDR therapists, look for someone who explains their process clearly and moves at a pace that feels manageable. EMDR can bring up strong emotions, so finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is important. You may want to ask how the therapist prepares clients before memory processing, how they handle grounding during telehealth sessions, and what happens if you feel overwhelmed between appointments.

Not every therapist who offers EMDR uses it the same way. Some may use EMDR as their primary approach, while others may integrate it with other therapy modalities. Review profiles, compare experience with your concerns, and ask questions before booking.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Questions about this approach

How do I use this page to find an online therapist who offers EMDR?

Start by choosing the state where you will be physically located during sessions. Then use filters to narrow your results by service type, age group, language, insurance, and therapy type. Review therapist profiles to see how they describe Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), what concerns they commonly work with, and whether their communication style feels like a good match before reaching out.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask how the therapist uses EMDR in online sessions, what preparation usually looks like, and whether they combine EMDR with other therapy approaches. You can also ask about session length, pacing, insurance, self-pay rates, cancellation policies, and what you should do if strong emotions come up between appointments. A good first conversation can help you understand whether their style feels supportive and clear.

Does my therapist have to be licensed in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?

In most cases, your therapist needs to be licensed where you are physically located during the session, not only where you live. If you travel, tell your therapist before your appointment so they can confirm whether they can still provide care while you are in that state. You can also learn more about finding a therapist licensed in multiple states.

Can EMDR be done virtually through telehealth therapy?

Yes, many therapists offer EMDR through telehealth. Online EMDR may use visual cues on screen, audio cues, tapping, or other forms of bilateral stimulation. The therapist should explain how sessions will work, help you set up a private and comfortable space, and make sure you have grounding tools before deeper processing begins. Ask how they adapt EMDR for online care.

Who is EMDR best for?

EMDR is commonly associated with trauma, post-traumatic stress, painful memories, anxiety, panic, grief, and distress linked to past experiences. It may be a good fit if you feel like certain memories, reactions, or body responses are still affecting your daily life. EMDR is not only about talking through events; it is often used when someone wants a structured way to process what still feels unresolved.

Do EMDR therapists need special certification or training?

EMDR is a specific therapy approach, and therapists may have different levels of education, consultation, training, or certification related to it. Before booking, ask how the therapist learned EMDR, how often they use it, whether they are EMDR Certified, and how they decide when it is appropriate for a client.

Does insurance cover online EMDR therapy, and how does payment usually work?

Insurance coverage often depends on your plan, the therapist’s network status, your location, and how the session is billed. Some therapists accept insurance directly, while others offer self-pay rates or superbills you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Use the insurance and payment filters when available, then confirm coverage, fees, and any expected costs before your first appointment.

When is online EMDR therapy not the right choice?

Online EMDR may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. It may also be better to start with stabilization and coping support before trauma processing. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
