Finding EMDR in San Antonio: the landscape
San Antonio is Military City, USA — home to Joint Base San Antonio and one of the largest military and veteran communities in the country. That makes it a natural EMDR city: EMDR is a first-line, VA/DoD-recognized treatment for PTSD, and demand from service members, veterans, and military families is high. Local in-network EMDR supply hasn't kept up, though; like the rest of Texas, most San Antonio EMDR specialists are cash-pay.
