Focused healing. Accelerated progress.
Intensive EMDR condenses therapy into focused, three-hour blocks that can be scheduled out over a few months--depending on your goals and availability. By dedicating more time in a single session, we reduce the start-and-stop nature of traditional therapy and allow your brain and body to fully engage in the healing process.
For many clients, this format creates meaningful progress in a shorter overall timeframe.
Why Choose Intensive EMDR?
Healing from trauma can feel slow and fragmented in shorter sessions. Intensive EMDR provides the space to stay with the work, allowing deeper processing without interruption.
This approach may be a good fit if you:
-
Are ready to actively work through trauma in a focused way
-
Feel “stuck” in traditional weekly therapy
-
Prefer fewer, longer sessions over many shorter ones
-
Have a specific issue or memory you want to address
-
Are seeking more efficient, momentum-driven healing
What to Expect
Intensive EMDR sessions are thoughtfully structured to support both depth and safety.
Each session includes:
-
Preparation and grounding
-
Focused EMDR processing
-
Breaks as needed to regulate and reset
-
Integration time to help your system absorb the work
You will be supported throughout the entire process, with careful pacing and regular check-ins to ensure you feel safe, stable, and in control.
A Deeper, More Immersive Experience
With fewer interruptions between sessions, Intensive EMDR allows your brain to stay engaged in the healing process. This can lead to:
-
Faster progress on targeted issues
-
Greater clarity and emotional relief
-
Reduced disruption between sessions
-
A stronger sense of momentum
Is Intensive EMDR Right for You?
Intensive work is not about pushing harder—it’s about creating the right conditions for healing. Together, we will determine if this format aligns with your needs, readiness, and support system.
Healing, with Support
As a trauma-focused therapist, I approach intensive work with care, intention, and respect for your nervous system. You will never be pushed beyond your capacity. Instead, we create a supportive space where meaningful healing can unfold at a pace that still feels safe.
