EMDR Therapy & EFT Tapping in Havertown, PA |
Serving Philadelphia and all of Pennsylvania
Real change happens below the surface.
Stop doubting yourself in as little as two weeks with EMDR or EFT.
You've probably already talked about it. You understand where it comes from. You've named the patterns, identified the triggers, done the work, and something still isn't shifting. It’s a sign that the problem isn't living in your thoughts. It's living in your body.
Mending Space is a therapy practice in the Philadelphia area built around two of the most effective somatic, evidence-based approaches available: EMDR and EFT tapping. Both work at the level of the nervous system — not just the narrative.
What Makes EMDR and EFT Different
Most talk therapy works by helping you understand your experiences — and understanding matters. But for a lot of people, insight alone doesn't produce the change they're looking for. The anxiety is still there. The self-criticism is still automatic. The past still shows up in ways that don't respond to logic.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping both work differently. Instead of processing distress through conversation alone, they use the body as part of the treatment — engaging the nervous system directly to help it complete what it couldn't finish before.
The result isn't just a new way of thinking about what happened. It's a different way of carrying it.
What is EMDR?
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy with decades of research behind it, originally developed for trauma and PTSD and now widely used for anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, grief, and relationship patterns rooted in the past. It uses bilateral stimulation — guided eye movements, tapping, or sound — to help your brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge.
Cameron Cready-Pyle, LCSW offers EMDR in both weekly sessions and multi-day intensive formats for clients in Pennsylvania and Minnesota. Intensives — 1-, 2-, or 4-day formats — are available for clients who want concentrated progress in a shorter window.
What is EFT Tapping?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping is a somatic intervention that involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on a distressing thought, feeling, or memory. It has a growing research base for anxiety, PTSD, and emotional distress — and it's particularly useful for clients whose stress and emotions feel more physical than verbal.
If traditional talk therapy has ever left you feeling like you can articulate exactly what's wrong but still can't seem to shift it, EFT may offer something different. It works with the body's stress response directly — calming the nervous system at the level where the distress is actually stored.
Lassiter Williams, MSS, LSW is a Certified EFT Practitioner at Mending Space. She integrates EFT into her work with clients navigating life transitions, perfectionism, people-pleasing, body image, and aging.
EFT tapping is available in person in Havertown, PA and via telehealth across Pennsylvania.
Who We Work With
Our clients are often adults who have done real work on themselves — therapy, reading, self-reflection — and who are still dealing with the gap between what they know and how they feel. You might be working through:
Trauma, PTSD, or the past that keeps showing up no matter how much you’ve already processed it.
Perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the chronic exhaustion of performing capability while privately struggling.
Life transitions — career, relationships, identity, loss, entering a new decade, becoming an empty nester.
Perimenopause, menopause, and the second half of life — anxiety, body changes, and shifting identity.
Body image and your relationship with food — the rules, the noise, the years of fighting yourself.
ADHD and executive functioning challenges affecting work, finances, relationships, and daily life.
