EMDR INTENSIVES

EMDR Intensives: Focused Healing for When You're Ready to Go Deeper

What Is an EMDR Intensive?

An EMDR Intensive is a focused therapy experience that offers more time, space, and support than a traditional weekly session. Instead of 50 minutes once a week, you’ll receive extended blocks of customized care—often half-day or full-day sessions—so you can work through stuck points without interruption.

It’s designed for people who are ready to do deeper healing in a safe, contained, and supported way.

Who Is a Good Fit for an EMDR Intensive?

You may be a good fit if:

✅ You feel like weekly therapy isn’t getting to the root
✅ You’re managing life, but still carrying anxiety, overwhelm, or trauma responses
✅ You’re high-functioning on the outside, but exhausted underneath
✅ You’ve done the work—but certain memories or patterns keep coming back
✅ You want more than just coping—you want clarity, relief, and real change

Whether you’re carrying the weight of a specific event or the long-term impact of complex trauma, intensives offer a space where your nervous system can finally begin to soften and release.

Why Work With Me?

As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I specialize in helping people move through trauma, chronic stress, and complex PTSD with care and intention—not rush, pressure, or performance.

My approach blends EMDR with other healing methods, including:

🌀 Parts Work – So we can gently explore and support the parts of you that carry fear, pain, or protection
🖐️ Sandtray Therapy – To connect with what words can’t always reach
🌿 Trauma-Informed Acupuncture – To regulate the body, calm the nervous system, and support deeper emotional processing

You’ll never be asked to move faster than what feels safe. Together, we’ll pace the work in a way that honors your story, your capacity, and your goals.

If You’re Feeling Stuck, It’s Not Because You’re Doing It Wrong

Many of my clients have said:

“I’ve been in therapy for years. Why do I still feel like this?”
“I’m doing all the things—and I’m still overwhelmed.”
“I just want to feel like myself again.”

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. EMDR Intensives are designed for moments like this—when you’re ready to go deeper, slow down, and finally move through what’s been holding you back.

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to who you were before the world told you otherwise.

🔬 Backed by Research

EMDR Intensives build on this strong foundation by offering extended time for your brain and body to process more fully—without the stop/start rhythm of weekly therapy. Research has shown that EMDR can lead to significant symptom reduction in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy, especially for PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, and adverse life experiences.¹

In Intensives, clients often report:

✅ Feeling clearer, lighter, and more grounded
✅ Reduced emotional reactivity and physical symptoms
✅ Increased ability to feel connected and present
✅ Lasting changes after just a few days of work

• 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. Learn more here and here.

• Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame. Learn more here.

• An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD. Learn more here.

• 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.
