An EMDR Intensive is a concentrated therapy experience that condenses months of traditional weekly sessions into just a few days. By diving deep into your core issues in a focused, immersive environment, you can achieve breakthroughs faster and with lasting impact. This approach allows you to move through trauma and other challenges more efficiently, giving you the tools to thrive in your day-to-day life.

Traditional therapy typically involves weekly 55-minute sessions. While this approach can be effective, it often takes time to gain momentum and address complex issues. An EMDR Intensive, on the other hand, provides extended, uninterrupted time to work through your challenges in a more comprehensive way. It’s like the difference between taking a leisurely stroll and a focused, purposeful hike—you’ll cover more ground and reach your destination sooner.

EMDR Intensives are ideal for those who are ready for a deep dive into their healing journey. Whether you’ve been in therapy for years or are just starting, this approach is perfect for high-achievers who want to make significant progress in a short period. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, or your schedule doesn’t allow for weekly sessions, an EMDR Intensive could be exactly what you need.

Expect to commit fully to your healing during these sessions. You’ll engage in longer, more focused therapy sessions—often several hours each day over a few days. This concentrated format allows us to go deeper into your experiences, working through trauma, stress, and other issues at a pace that suits your needs. The result is a powerful, transformative experience that can lead to lasting change.

By addressing your challenges head-on in a focused, intensive setting, you can achieve more in a few days than you might in months of traditional therapy. This not only accelerates your healing but also reduces the need for prolonged weekly sessions. In the long run, this approach can save you both time and money, making it a smart investment in your mental and emotional well-being.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous before starting an EMDR Intensive. The idea of diving deep can be intimidating, but remember, this is about taking control of your healing journey. You’ll be guided every step of the way in a safe, supportive environment. By committing to this process, you’re taking a powerful step towards the life you want.

If you’re ready for a profound shift and are looking for an efficient, effective way to move past your challenges, an EMDR Intensive could be a great fit. If you’re still unsure, consider booking a consultation where we can discuss your goals and determine if this approach aligns with your needs.

Preparation is key to getting the most out of your intensive. Prior to your sessions, we’ll discuss your goals and outline what to expect. It’s important to create space in your life—both mentally and physically—for this work. Clearing your schedule and setting intentions can help you fully engage in the process.

After your EMDR Intensive, we’ll work together to ensure you have the tools and support to integrate what you’ve learned into your daily life. Follow-up sessions can be scheduled as needed to help maintain your progress and continue your healing journey.

If you’re ready to explore whether an EMDR Intensive is right for you, reach out to schedule a consultation. Together, we’ll discuss your needs, answer any remaining questions, and start planning your path to deeper healing.

Yes. EMDR Intensives are designed to be adjunct therapy—short-term, focused work that complements the ongoing support you already receive from your primary therapist. We’ll focus on targeted reprocessing of specific symptoms, trauma memories or patterns, then you’ll return to your therapist with new insight, momentum, and relief. With your permission, I’m also happy to collaborate with your therapist to ensure continuity of care.
