When One Hour Once a Week Isn’t Cutting It, You Deserve Something Different
EMDR Intensives
Are you seeking effective and transformative counseling services? Explore our EMDR Intensives and Brainspotting , a powerful therapy option that can help you heal from trauma and emotional distress.

What Are EMDR Intensives?
EMDR Intensives are a specialized form of therapy that offers concentrated and accelerated treatment for individuals who are seeking rapid emotional healing and relief. An intensive delivers treatment in a short period of time, with multiple EMDR sessions per day.
Benefits Of EMDR Intensives

Long-lasting Relief: Experience relief from distressing symptoms and emotions.
Increased Resilience: Build the emotional resilience needed to face life’s challenges.
Transformative Growth: EMDR Intensives can lead to profound personal growth and self-discovery.
Who Is The Best Candidate For EMDR Intensives?
Please review the following criteria to see if you may be a good candidate for an EMDR Intensive:
- I want to achieve faster results in therapy.

Structure Of EMDR Intensives
Pre-treatment screening: We will discuss your situation, needs, and goals to determine if you would be a good candidate for an EMDR intensive, assess the number of treatment days needed, and answer any questions you may have.
Personalized treatment workbook, which allows you to work on your treatment goals before, during, and after our intensive sessions.
A customized treatment program with targeted treatment goals. Therapy is done either in person or virtually, often for 3-9 sessions . Clients working virtually purchase their own tappers.
Post-treatment interview to assess and support your adaptation to positive changes from treatment.
Your Investment
Due to the focused nature of sessions, EMDR intensives can actually be more cost-effective at healing from a specific trauma, rather than weekly therapy sessions where time is spent catching up on weekly events and daily stressors. Intensives can be scheduled at a frequency that works best with your schedule and can be done as an adjunct to the work done with your primary therapist.
