Built for how therapists actually work
Everything you need for effective bilateral stimulation — nothing you don't.
Your client sees exactly what you see
The ball is always in the same position for both of you at the same moment — no lag, no drift. What you control is exactly what they experience.
Bilateral audio that never falls behind
Tones, chords, or gentle rainfall pan left to right in step with the ball. Audio plays directly on each device, so there's no delay or compression to worry about.
Adjust anything, mid-session
Change speed, sound, color, or when the set ends — all from your side of the screen. Your client's view is never interrupted while you make adjustments.
Nothing new for your clients to learn
Clients get a one-tap invitation right inside Zoom. No downloads, no new accounts, no tech support calls before you can get started.
Your clients' data never leaves Zoom
No session recordings, no video processing, nothing stored outside of Zoom's secure environment. Lateral sees only what it needs to move a ball across a screen.
One flat fee, unlimited sessions
Pay a simple monthly rate per therapist. No per-session charges, no client fees, no contracts. Add or cancel seats any time.
Up and running in minutes
Lateral lives in the Zoom App Marketplace — the same place you'd find any other Zoom integration. No separate software to install.

Open it at the start of any session
Click the Lateral app icon in your Zoom toolbar, then invite your client with one button. They tap to open — no account, no download, nothing to set up on their end.
Why stay in Zoom?
Your clients already know how to join a Zoom call. Lateral keeps everything in one place, so you never have to say “now also open this other link.”
Industry-leading noise cancellation
Zoom's AI audio filtering keeps even home offices and background noise from disrupting the session — so you can focus on your client, not your microphone.
Your clients already use it
No new software, no new login, no confused phone calls before the session starts. If they can join a Zoom call, they can use Lateral.
HIPAA-eligible infrastructure
Zoom for Healthcare supports a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and is designed to meet HIPAA security requirements — the same infrastructure Lateral runs on top of.
One platform, one session link
Waiting rooms, screen sharing, breakout rooms, and bilateral stimulation — all in the Zoom window you already have open. No context switching, no separate billing for another platform.
Simple, per-therapist pricing
One flat monthly rate per therapist seat. No setup fees, no contracts.
Hardware lightbars and standalone bilateral stimulation devices often run $300–$800 upfront. Lateral works on the laptop you already own, with the Zoom subscription you already pay for.

Frequently asked questions
- Do my clients need to pay or install anything?
- No. Clients are always free. They receive an app invitation inside Zoom and open it with one click.
- What if I need seats for multiple therapists in my practice?
- You can buy as many seats as you need from your dashboard. Each seat is associated with one therapist's Zoom email address. The practice owner manages and pays for all seats from a single account.
- Can I change which therapist a seat belongs to?
- Seats are locked to the Zoom email you enter at purchase to prevent sharing. If a therapist leaves or changes their email, you can cancel that seat and buy a new one for the new email.
- What happens when I cancel a seat?
- The seat stays active until the end of the current billing period, then it deactivates. You're never charged for partial months after cancellation.
- Is my clients' session data stored anywhere?
- No. Lateral does not record, transmit, or store any video, audio, or session content. The app runs entirely inside Zoom's sandboxed environment.
- What do I say if a client or colleague asks what I use for EMDR?
- You can simply say: "I use the Lateral EMDR app on Zoom."
