The Intensive Model
More time. Fewer interruptions. Deeper processing.
What Are EMDR Intensives?
EMDR intensives are concentrated, multi-hour therapy sessions that allow for sustained trauma reprocessing without the start-stop rhythm of weekly 50-minute appointments. In a standard session, time is spent grounding, opening the processing channel, doing the reprocessing work, and then closing safely, often just as the deepest material is becoming accessible.
Intensives eliminate that constraint. With extended time, your nervous system can move through complete processing cycles, reaching resolution on material that might take weeks or months to access in weekly therapy. The result is often a measurable shift in symptoms within a single session block.
This is not a shortcut. It is a different clinical format, one that respects the neuroscience of how trauma is stored and how reprocessing actually works when given adequate time.
Is This Right for You?
Who Intensives Are For
You experienced a single-incident trauma (accident, assault, medical event) and want targeted, efficient resolution.
You are high-functioning with schedule constraints that make weekly therapy difficult to sustain consistently.
You are an out-of-state client who wants to do concentrated work during a dedicated trip to Florida.
You have completed stabilization work and are ready for deeper reprocessing but plateau in weekly sessions.
You have been in weekly therapy and feel stuck, sensing that the 50-minute format is limiting your progress.
Formats & Investment
Focused Intensive
3 hours · $450A concentrated reprocessing session designed for targeted single-incident trauma or a clearly defined processing goal. Allows for complete EMDR cycles without the constraints of a 50-minute session.

The Process
What to Expect
Pre-Intensive Assessment
Before your intensive, a comprehensive clinical assessment determines your readiness, identifies target material, and ensures your nervous system is stabilized enough for sustained processing. This is included in your intensive investment.
The Intensive Session
The intensive itself is structured with alternating periods of active EMDR reprocessing and resourcing breaks. Your clinician monitors your window of tolerance throughout, pacing the work to ensure integration rather than overwhelm.
Post-Intensive Integration
After your intensive, a follow-up integration session helps you consolidate the processing, address any residual activation, and plan next steps. This session is included in your intensive investment.
