EMDR INTENSIVES
Focused Trauma Therapy for Deeper, More Intentional Healing
EMDR Intensives offer a focused, immersive approach to trauma therapy, allowing us to dedicate extended time and attention to the experiences, patterns, or symptoms that may be keeping you stuck.
Rather than working within the traditional 50–60 minute weekly therapy format, an intensive creates space for more concentrated therapeutic work while allowing us to thoughtfully pace the process according to your individual needs and nervous system.
By providing relationally-focused EMDR along with advanced psychotherapy methods (e.g. complex developmental trauma, attachment theory, neuroscience, CBT, DBT, IFS, somatic experiencing) we can begin to go deeper.

The research on EMDR Intensives is good
The traditional model of weekly psychotherapy is shifting to meet your needs. Now more than ever, we need flexibility and not a one-size fits all model.
-
Perhaps you’ve had a felt sense that something profound has yet to change, but you’re not quite sure how to shift
-
Maybe you now cognitively understand things, yet your body is still confused, so you’re curious about how EMDR Therapy can help.
-
Perhaps you’ve been meaning to get into weekly therapy for a while now, but your schedule has been so hectic and demanding that a weekly therapy appointment feels more overwhelming than supportive.
-
Perhaps you’re needing help —- and a lot of it—- right now, and you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better.
Frequently Ask Questions about EMDR intensives
Do I need to be in my own therapy to participate in an EMDR intensive?
No. You do not need to be in ongoing therapy with another therapist to participate in an EMDR intensive.
Do I have to end treatment with my current therapist?
No. An EMDR intensive can be adjunctive to your current treatment. You can continue working with your therapist while participating in an intensive, as long as this approach is appropriate for your circumstances.
What if I need ongoing support after my intensive?
We understand that an intensive may be one part of your therapeutic work. There are limited spots available for ongoing therapy for clients who have completed an intensive.
If ongoing support is needed and we don't have availability, we will work with you to help connect you with appropriate ongoing care.
What if I’m not sure whether an EMDR intensive is right for me?
You don't have to know before reaching out. We can talk about what you're looking for, answer your questions, and help you understand whether an intensive fits your needs.
Can I use my insurance?
You can submit for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network (OON) mental health benefits, EMDR intensives are private-pay services and are not billed through traditional insurance for the intensive form
What the experts are saying
-
Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely.
-
Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame.
-
An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD.
-
The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session.
