Intensives are made for
you
The traditional model of weekly therapy is now shifting to meet your needs. You deserve flexibility in how you get support and therapy that works with your schedule.
I see youYou’re in therapy and have had a felt sense that something profound has yet to change, but you’re not quite sure how to shift all the way into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist.
Maybe you now cognitively understand new things, yet your body is still confused, so you’re curious about how intensive EMDR therapy can help as you work with your primary talk therapist.
Perhaps you’ve been meaning to get into weekly therapy for a while now, but your schedule has been so hectic and demanding that a weekly therapy appointment feels more overwhelming than supportive.
You’re needing help —- and a lot of it—- right now, and you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better.
You had an overwhelming experience. It was a lot to handle and it really has thrown you for a loop. Your stress level is through the roof. You can’t seem to relax or rest no matter how hard you try. Your emotions turn quickly - one minute your anxiety is off the charts and the next you are snapping at your family or friends..
Maybe you are a current, weekly client who is needing extra, focused support quickly.
Or Maybe you are a new client who just prefers to work intensively.
If any of these sound like you, you could benefit from doing intensive sessions to process through your targeted events quickly and efficiently.

What is an eMDR intensive?
An EMDR Intensive is a powerful way to accelerate the therapy process. Instead of going to therapy once a week, you can do a therapy intensive in a week! Imagine feeling better by next week.
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!

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.
