What is an eMDR intensive?
EMDR Intensive Therapy offers a transformative approach to healing by condensing traditional therapy into focused, immersive sessions. This method enables clients to achieve significant progress in a shorter timeframe, addressing issues such as trauma, anxiety, and PTSD effectively.
Having longer intensive sessions that are dedicated to breaking through the barriers you face is so powerful. With more uninterrupted processing time, you can make so much more progress than is possible in weekly therapy.
If you’re ready to feel like yourself again, say goodbye to intense feelings of stress and anxiety, and welcome more peace and balance into your life - then An EMDR intensive may be for you!
Before, During, and After Your EMDR Intensive:
A Personalized Journey
Pre-Intensive Consultation:
We begin with a comprehensive interview to understand your goals, current challenges, and support systems, ensuring a tailored approach to your therapy
During the Intensive:
The EMDR Intensive focuses on two primary objectives:
Making the painful moments in your life hurt less.
Helping the positive moments feel even better.
We achieve this through EMDR reprocessing and resourcing activities, all enhanced by the bilateral stimulation central to EMDR.
Depending on your needs, we may focus on your earliest relationships and attachment experiences or take a more future-oriented approach. The process is deeply personal and fully customized to your unique journey.
After the Intensive:
Following the EMDR Intensive, we meet for a Post-Intensive Interview to reflect on what was most impactful for you and discuss how to integrate these insights into your daily life. You'll have the opportunity to consider how to share your progress with those who matter most, inviting them to celebrate and support your continued growth.
This process is tailored to you—empowering you to heal deeply, grow boldly, and live with greater clarity and connection.
Pre-Intensive Interview
A 90-minute session to determine the goals of the EMDR Intensive, history taking and prepare for the intensive session. We will identify the memories, beliefs, emotions, or images from which you are seeking relief.
what’s included?
Personalized treatment workbook
Clients are given a personalized workbook that includes assessments & activities to prepare for the intensive. The workbook allows you keep a record of progress on your treatment goals before, during, & after our sessions.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about EMDR intensives
-
Every person is different and this depends on you and your individual goals. During the initial consultation we can talk about your specific situation; Sometimes, one intensive session will be enough, other times you may want multiple sessions to knock out multiple traumas. I can help you decide what type of intensive is best for you.
-
Insurance companies do not cover Intensives. Intensives are a new format of therapy that are cutting edge and breaks the mold of traditional therapy and insurance has not caught up with that yet.
I am able to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential out of pocket reimbursement for a portion of the EMDR intensive. In order to provide a superbill, this requires me to provide a diagnosis which may impact insurance down the road.
-
Yes, I am happy to connect with your therapist to create an intensive experience that is in line with your current therapy goals.

additional information
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.
