EMDR Intensives
Customized, Individual Plans for Clients
Short-Term EMDR Treatment
Maybe you’ve had a sense that something profound is waiting to change, but you’re not quite sure how to shift all the way into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist. Maybe you cognitively understand new things, but your body is still confused, so you’re curious about how intensive EMDR therapy can help as you work with your primary talk therapist.
Maybe 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.
Maybe you need help - and a lot of it - right now, and you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment in order to feel better.
Maybe, with COVID, you need more efficient support as the busy parent with kids doing virtual learning and/or the working professional who has even more on their plate since the pandemic.
Maybe you are a current, weekly client who needs extra, focused support quickly.
Maybe you are a new client who just prefers to work intensively.
EMDR intensives support the busy parent with kids doing virtual learning, the working professional who has even more on their plate since COVID, or the client who needs help now.
Whatever the reason that weekly sessions just won’t work for you, EMDR intensives are available to support you during times you need help the most.
I offer EMDR intensives for my current clients who may need extra support, as well as new clients who prefer to work intensively.

Frequently Asked Questions

EMDR intensives allow the opportunity to progress through your symptoms in a more succinct and focused way without the interruption of the 50-minute session. An intensive format may decrease overall treatment time because the 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 healing or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session.

Yes. Perhaps you have a felt sense that something profound has yet to change, but you're not quite sure how to shift all the way into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist.

-
An EMDR intensive offers a multitude of resources and can help to either increase performance and confidence, or significantly decrease the devastating effects of trauma (e.g. negative cognitions, disturbing emotions and body sensations). While significant healing can occur in any length intensive, complex PTSD deserves more treatment time than a single incident trauma may require. Each client is different and the length of the intensive will be discussed during your initial consultation.
