By dedicating focused blocks of time, you can make significant progress without the ongoing time commitment of weekly appointments.

EMDR intensives allow you to focus on your healing in a more concentrated format, often condensing what would be several weeks of therapy into just a few days or sessions. This approach is designed for those who need flexibility but still want to experience deep, transformative work in a shorter time frame.

You’re in the right place.

EMDR intensives can help you accomplish in one session what may take months in traditional therapy.

EMDR Intensives are Ideal For:

  • Motivated individuals looking to experience deep reflection, change, and growth in a short period of time

  • You are self-aware yet feeling stuck

  • You have been in talk therapy before but are  looking to take things much deeper

  • Working professionals who need therapy to fit in their schedule,

  • People who are in need of specific help in a timely manner and want to know the specific amount of time they will be in therapy

EMDR Intensives are particularly well-suited for individuals who:

  • Experience significant distress from traumatic events, anxiety, depression, or phobias.

  • Are committed to rapid healing and can dedicate focused time to their recovery.

  • Have a clear sense of the traumatic memories they wish to address.

  • Are able to tolerate intense emotional experiences in a supportive environment.

EMDR is effective in addressing a wide range of traumatic experiences, including:

  • Single-incident trauma: car accidents, assaults, natural disasters

  • Complex trauma: childhood abuse, neglect, ongoing violence

  • Operational stress injuries (OSI): experienced by military personnel

  • Acute stress disorder: immediate response to trauma

  • Other distressing life experiences: loss, medical procedures, job loss

What is an intensive?

An EMDR Intensive is an accelerated form of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy that offers accelerated health for trauma & anxiety.

Unlike traditional weekly sessions, an intensive offers concentrated treatment over a shorter period, typically 3-5 days. This focused approach is tailored to your specific goalsallows for rapid progress in processing and healing from traumatic experiences or pains from the past. Processing is tailored to your specific goals

To prepare, we will meet for a Pre-Intensive Interview to clarify your goals for the Intensive, identify your support system and how you with stress, and identify specific targets for our work together. This will help give me all the information I need to best support you.

During an EMDR intensive, you will engage in multiple EMDR sessions each day in order to:

  1. Help your past pains feel less painful

  2. Strengthen the things things that are more helpful and make you feel good

This concentrated exposure helps your brain process traumatic memories more efficiently, leading to a significant reduction in symptoms like anxiety, depression, and nightmares.

It's important to note that while EMDR intensives offer rapid results, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution

We might focus most on early life experiences, specific traumatic events, triggers in your current life, or how you envision meeting challenges in your future. The process is entirely customized and specific to you.

After the Intensive, we’ll meet for a Post-Intensive Interview to reflect on your most powerful takeaways and to discuss incorporating the growth that you’ve seen into your life.

Pre-Intensive Assessment

I take time to understand your history, current challenges, and therapeutic goals. This allows me to identify any specific areas of focus, as well as assess your readiness for intensive work. We'll also discuss what to expect during the sessions, helping you feel prepared and supported throughout the process. This assessment ensures that your EMDR intensive is both safe and effective,

Intensive Session

Over the course of several hours or days, we use EMDR to target and process traumatic memories, negative beliefs, and emotional blocks. Throughout the process, you’ll receive dedicated, personalized care in a supportive environment, ensuring you feel safe and empowered. By the end of the intensive, many clients report significant shifts in their emotional and psychological well-being.

Post-Intensive Follow-Up

This phase involves check-ins to assess how you're feeling, address any lingering concerns, and ensure that the positive changes are being sustained in your daily life. We may also explore additional ongoing resources to support your continued healing. This provides a space to reflect on your experience, solidify the gains you've achieved, and ensure that you feel fully supported.

Other intensive questions? I’ve got answers.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) works by helping the brain process traumatic memories through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. During a session, a therapist guides you in recalling distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in eye movements, sounds, or taps, which helps the brain reprocess and integrate the memory in a healthier way. Over time, the emotional intensity of the memory decreases, allowing you to heal from past trauma and move forward with greater emotional resilience.

  • Intensives differ from regular therapy by offering a concentrated and focused approach, allowing for deeper work to be accomplished in a shorter period of time. Instead of weekly sessions, intensives provide extended hours over a few days, giving clients the opportunity to address and process complex issues more quickly and thoroughly.

  • You might be a good fit for an intensive if you’re looking to address deep-seated trauma or emotional challenges in a focused, accelerated timeframe. If you feel stuck in traditional therapy, have limited time for weekly sessions, or want to make significant progress quickly, an EMDR intensive may be right for you.

  • An EMDR intensive can help address issues like perfectionism, overachieving, and people-pleasing by uncovering the deep-rooted emotional patterns driving these behaviors. Through concentrated sessions, it helps you process underlying trauma or experiences that may have contributed to the need for control, approval, or validation. By resolving these core issues, intensives can empower you to break free from unhealthy patterns and create healthier, more balanced ways of living and relating to others. t can also address challenges such as phobias, grief, and relationship difficulties, helping to resolve emotional pain that may be affecting your daily life. Additionally, intensives are effective for improving self-esteem and breaking through long-standing emotional blocks, allowing you to move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

  • Before an EMDR intensive, you’ll typically be asked to complete a thorough intake assessment to identify key issues and goals for the sessions. You may also be encouraged to reflect on specific memories, emotions, or triggers you want to work on, which helps your therapist tailor the process to your needs. Additionally, practicing self-care and preparing for the emotional intensity of the work can be helpful to ensure you are mentally and physically ready for the experience.
