Next step

Getting started with online EMDR

The first step is a free, 15-minute conversation with Achieve Growth Therapy. Here’s what to expect.

Before booking, read about the clinician and check fees and coverage.

Both links open the practice’s own website in a new tab. This site never sends anything on your behalf.

What happens when you click

You’ll land on Achieve Growth Therapy’s contact page, where you can book a consultation time directly or send a short note. The practice asks people not to include sensitive medical details in that first message, a sentence or two such as “interested in EMDR by telehealth, living in West Palm Beach” is plenty.

What the free consultation covers

  1. What’s going on A brief description of what you’re dealing with and what you’d like to change.
  2. Fit Whether EMDR, another approach or a combination makes sense, and whether the practice is the right match.
  3. Practicalities Availability, fees, insurance and how telehealth sessions work. If the practice isn’t a fit, it says it will point you toward someone who is.

Helpful to have ready

  • Confirmation that you’ll be in Florida for sessions
  • Your insurance card, if you plan to use insurance
  • A private place for a phone or video call
  • Any questions from our list of questions to ask

If you need help sooner

In crisis or thinking about suicide? Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org (opens in a new tab). In an emergency, call 911. Therapy referrals are not an emergency service.

For local, non-emergency resources in Palm Beach County, from support groups to in-person services, the 211 Helpline Palm Beach and Treasure Coast (opens in a new tab) can help. Nationally, SAMHSA’s Find Help page (opens in a new tab) lists treatment locators and helplines.
