EMDR INTENSIVES SPEED UP YOUR PROGRESS
An EMDR Intensive is a great option if you:
💃🏻 Are ready to dive deep
🛋️ Have scheduling barriers
due to work, childcare, etc.
⏰ Need more time to
process a memory
🗓️ Can’t add another weekly commitment
🤯 Want to do accelerated therapy work in one session
🤷🏻♀️ Feel stuck in weekly therapy
Step One: Consult Call
We’ll connect for a 20 minute consultation call so I can hear about what you would like to work on and you can ask any questions. We will both use the time to confirm we are a great fit. If we proceed, you will be sent resources to complete and use to prepare for your intensive.
Step Two: Workbook Resource
You’ll receive a customized workbook. This will include coping skills ideas, provide you time to reflect on your concerns and goals, information on the intensive process and it will be used to help integrate your intensive experience. This resource will help you prepare for the intensive and remain a resource for you after the intensive concludes.
Step Three: Intensive (1, 2 or 3 day)
We’ll process your target memories/events and take breaks as needed. We will use your coping skills and practice grounding along the way. You can choose from eye movements, audio tones and/or tapping as your bilateral stimulation.

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.
