Faster Relief That Fits Your Schedule

Intensive therapy is an accelerated way to find relief and reach your therapy goals. 

Traditional therapy is usually a fifty minute session once a week, spread out over months or years. While this pace is very effective for many people, sometimes a more focused, immersive approach can be beneficial.

Intensives can be customized based on your needs.

How Long Are EMDR Intensives?

90 minute EMDR session

3 hour dedicated block for EMDR therapy with breaks as needed.

Three 90-minute sessions with a one hour lunch break and short breaks as needed. Option to customize your intensive and incorporate a portion of the day for art or sandtray therapy integration. 

Schedule several sessions in a week. 50 or 90 minute EMDR sessions options.

Create your personalized intensive with a combination of full or half day sessions over a time period that makes sense with your schedule. 

Discuss options to add your favorite therapies like art, writing, sand work, or Alpha Stim ®.

Are EMDR Intensives Right For You?

EMDR Intensives might be for you if:

  • You’re highly motivated to move on from your trauma
  • You’re struggling to cope with the long wait between weekly sessions
  • Your relationships or work is suffering because of your triggers, mood, or difficulty feeling secure
  • You like working with and want to stay with your current therapist, but they don’t offer EMDR
  • Carving out a few, larger chunks of time for therapy works better for your schedule than a weekly appointment. Missing work, arranging childcare and commuting each week can be a barrier.
  • You live in an area where in-person EMDR isn’t available and want to travel for a focused time to work.

What are Other Benefits of EMDR Intensives

  • Reduces overall cost and time of therapy. Though the upfront cost seems to be more, moving through traumatic material deeply and quickly can speed up the overall time needed in therapy and overall total session cost. 
  • Eliminate the time spent to “catch up” from the week or the temptation to focus on weekly problems that distract from your main goal.
  • Less childcare arrangements
  • Less commute time

Call your insurance provider and ask whether they will reimburse you for an out of network therapist.

Everyone can benefit from having a dedicated safe space to process their life. Therapy is especially helpful for people dealing with unwanted symptoms from trauma, burnout, anxiety, or depression, for example.
