Who it helps
Follow-up sessions
A 50-minute check-in after a block, led by Emmett Redmond or Lan Dang.
A block is a lot of work in one sitting. A follow-up is the other half: a look at how the days afterward went, what you noticed, and what you want next. Emmett Redmond leads most follow-ups, working under the supervision of Lan Dang, LCSW.

What it is not
What this is not
Not without risks
EMDR can bring strong feelings and memories, during a block and after it. Lan explains the risks in the preparation call, and you can stop at any point.
Not a crisis service
Fathom does not answer messages around the clock. If you are in crisis, call or text 988. In an emergency, call 911.
Not a new treatment plan on its own
Changes to the plan are agreed with Lan, who stays involved throughout.
Pace and cost
Length, frequency and how it is paid
Fifty minutes
One follow-up comes with a three-block package; others are booked as you need them.
In person or by video
In Anchorage, or by video when you are in Alaska at the time.
Questions
Three questions about this
How long is a block, and how many will I need?
A block is three hours, with breaks. Some people book blocks weeks apart and some on back-to-back days. Your clinician sets the pace with you after the preparation call, and there is no set number of blocks. Weekly or monthly 50-minute sessions are an option too.
What is your cancellation policy?
Change a block with 7 days' notice and there is no charge. With less notice, the block's fee is due, because the time was held for you. A preparation call or a follow-up can be changed with 24 hours' notice.
Are you licensed where I live?
Lan and Emmett are licensed in Alaska. We see you in person in Anchorage, or by video when you are in Alaska at the time of the session. If you live in another state and will not be in Alaska, we can't see you, and we are glad to help you find someone.
