Are you tired of feeling stuck, frustrated by how long therapy seems to take, or overwhelmed by the idea of digging into trauma week after week?

Instead of spreading therapy out over months, EMDR Intensives are extended sessions (half-day, full-day, or multi-day) designed to help you process traumatic memories, resolve emotional wounds, and make meaningful progress quickly. They’re ideal for busy people who are motivated to heal but need a more efficient, focused approach.

What is an EMDR Intensive?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a proven therapy for trauma, anxiety, and negative beliefs about yourself. In an intensive format, we remove the weekly time constraints and immerse you in a supportive, structured healing experience.

We move through the EMDR phases more fluidly—without stopping just as we begin to make progress. You’ll leave with more clarity, relief, and tools to support your continued healing.

Is an intensive right for you?

  • You’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, or burnout and want results sooner

  • You’ve already done therapy but feel like something is still stuck

  • You’re preparing for a big life transition (like motherhood, divorce, or a new career)

  • You have limited time or energy for weekly therapy sessions

  • You want to focus on one specific issue (like a traumatic birth or childhood memory)

The Process

  • Pre-intensive consultation (free): assess if intensives are the right fit and discuss goals

  • Initial session(s): create a treatment plan and begin resourcing, typically between 1-3 90 minute sessions

  • Half or Full day intensives (3-6 hours): deep focused EMDR processing with breaks. Scheduling and cadence can be discussed during the initial consult. Depending on your goals, this can be done between 1-5 days.

  • Follow up session (optional): reflection and integration 1-2 weeks later

FAQS

What others have wondered about EMDR intensives

  • Instead of 50-minute weekly sessions, intensives are longer sessions that allow for deeper work in a shorter period of time. We can stay in the flow of processing without having to pause just as things start to shift. We also don’t have to spend time navigating new triggers in between sessions, or spend time on a check - in. Overall, we are able to use more of our session time to focus on EMDR.

  • EMDR intensives are not the right fit for every person. If you are experiencing unmanaged dissociation, suicidality, substance abuse, it might not be the right fit. If you are not sure, reach out for a free 30 minute consultation.

  • Yes! Intensives are very effective as an adjunct to ongoing therapy to work on a specific issue. As part of the treatment, I can collaborate with your ongoing therapist to provide the most effective care.
