Frequently asked questions.

Beyond Brave is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to helping trauma survivors access evidence-based healing therapies — especially EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). We believe healing takes courage, and no one should walk that path alone.

Beyond Brave supports individuals who have experienced trauma of any kind, including but not limited to childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, grief, and other emotionally distressing experiences. While the primary focus is funding EMDR therapy, the foundation is continually exploring additional ways to support survivors.

Yes. Beyond Brave is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that helps people heal from the emotional distress caused by trauma. It uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess painful memories.

EMDR is especially helpful for those with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and distressing memories. We recommend working with a licensed EMDR-trained therapist to determine the best approach for your healing journey.

Individuals who have experienced trauma and demonstrate financial need may apply for funding. Beyond Brave prioritizes applicants who lack insurance coverage or cannot otherwise afford trauma-informed therapy.

Currently, Beyond Brave offers financial assistance for EMDR sessions with approved providers. As the foundation grows, we hope to expand support for additional services.
