imagine if you…
Spend less time recovering
EMDR is an emotionally intensive healing modality. Many clients report feeling better after an intensive because there is time to work all the way through painful memories allowing you to leave sessions feeling tired, but grounded and feeling relieved. You are less likely to run out of time in session, having to leave the rest of the work until next week’s appointment.
Say good bye to weekly appointments
EMDR Intensives
EMDR intensives allow you more freedom in your life week to week by condensing treatment into longer sessions. Requiring less time in treatment overall and less time recovering from the emotional intensity of sessions.
Resolve traumatic material in days, not months or years.
EMDR can be conducted in half-day, full-day, or multi-day treatment intensives. Bringing you relief, faster. There’s less starting and stopping the work and therefore you process so much more material in one sitting. Bringing relief faster.

What an EMDR Intensive Look Like?
What’s an intensive?
Intensives are an alternative to traditional 50-60 min therapy sessions. These longer sessions are conducted half day, full-day, or multi-day intensives to allow for faster processing.
Intensives allow for more time processing memories, allowing you to resolve a single issue faster.
We open each intensive with a plan for which memories we are working on and begin eye movements. Breaks are scheduled throughout the day and can be taken as needed.
Half-day intensives are scheduled for 4 hours, full days and 3 days are scheduled from 9:00-4:00 or 10:00 -5:00. A 1 hour lunch break is scheduled and shorter breaks are taken as needed.
Take your time
Take the time to process emotionally charged material without the ticking clock on your mind.
Getting started
First we would schedule a free phone consultation to ensure that intensives are the right fit for you. We would discus what frequency is the best fit which is really personal preference. We can meet once every 2-4 weeks for 3 or 4 hours until your treatment goals are met, or schedule multi day intensives where you would come in multiple days in one week to work on your treatment goals.
A client workbook and intake paperwork is provided in advance so you are ready to hit the group running at your first appointment. We will go through your history, discuss the challenges you are facing now, identify memory targets for reprocessing, and then get started.

Insurance does cover EMDR in one hour sittings but does not cover intensives.
Insurance companies limit the amount of time we can spend in session. This limits the quality of care and the amount of progress you can make in each treatment session.
For that reason, we do not work with insurance companies for the EMDR Intensive Program. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care for you.
