EMDR Intensives:
Focused Healing, Lasting Change
You've done the work. You've talked about it, made connections, and tried to move forward...And yet, something still feels stuck.
EMDR intensives offer a different kind of therapy experience, one that creates the space to go deeper, with focus and intention. Instead of meeting for one hour a week, intensives provide extended, dedicated time to gently process what hasn't fully resolved. This allows your brain and nervous system to stay engaged long enough for meaningful shifts to occur.
In the intensive session, we work collaboratively with the experiences that have shaped you, so they no longer feel as present, overwhelming, or stuck in your body.
Intensives can be especially supportive if:
-
You've been in therapy but feel like progress has plateaued.
-
You're carrying unresolved trauma or distressing experiences.
-
You want to move through something specific with more depth and support.
-
Your schedule makes weekly therapy difficult.
-
You're ready for focused, meaningful change, not just coping.
This is not about rushing the process. It's about creating the conditions where healing can happen more fully.
Why Clients Choose Intensives:
Meaningful shifts in less time:
Instead of stretching the work over months, intensives allow us to stay with what matters long enough for real movement to happen. Many clients notice significant relief and clarity in a much shorter period of time.
Deeper, more connected processing:
With extended, uninterrupted time, we're not stopping just as things begin to open up. This allows your brain and nervous system to move through experiences more fully, often leading to deeper, more lasting shifts.
Focused care that respects your time:
While sessions are longer, many clients find they need fewer overall sessions. For those with full lives, busy schedules, or limited availability, this can be a more efficient and intentional way to engage in therapy.
A stonger sense of safety and support:
Spending dedicated time together helps build trust and connection more quickly. This creates a steady, supportive environment, something that's especially important when doing deeper trauma work.
What to Expect:
Before Your Intensive: Preparation
We begin with a preparation session where we get clear on your goals, history, and what feels most important to focus on. This is also a time to build grounding tools and ensure you feel resourced and ready. You won't be walking into the intensive cold, we move into the work with intention and care. The preparation phase helps create a strong foundation so you can enter your intensive feeling informed, supported, and ready for meaningful work.
During Your Intensive: Focused, Supported Processing:
Your intensive will take place over several hours (or multiple days), allowing us to stay with what matters without the usual start-and-stop of weekly sessions. We use EMDR (and Somatic and IFS informed approaches) to gently process experiences that feel stuck, moving at a pace that feels manageable for your nervous system. There is space for breaks, reflection, and regulation throughout. You are always in control of the process.
After Your Intensive: Integration and Support
Healing doesn't end when the session does. We'll meet for a follow-up integration session to help you make sense of what shifted, support continued processing, and ensure you feel grounded as you move forward. This step is an important part of helping the work "stick" in a meaningful and lasting way.
