WHAT ARE EMDR INTENSIVES?

EMDR intensives are therapy sessions that exceed the traditional 50-60 minutes. We now offer intensives that will accelerate the healing process. These are delivered in 3-hour intensive sessions, for a recommended 2-3 sessions to obtain your desired results.

AM I A GOOD FIT FOR EMDR INTENSIVES?

You may be a good fit if you have experienced the following:

• History of Trauma or PTSD: 

  • Examples include (but are not limited to) verbal or physical abuse, accidents, sexual abuse, neglect, or anything else that has impacted your daily functioning. 

•  Mental Health Stressors: 

  • Current struggles with topics such as perfectionism, imposter syndrome, panic disorders or phobias

• You’re super busy:

  • Sometimes it’s not possible to fit a weekly therapy appointment in your busy schedule. It can be more effective to commit to a few hours in the morning or afternoon. 

•  Cost-effective: 

  • It might feel overwhelming to see the upfront cost of an EMDR. When you consider the cost of weekly therapy over a year, intensives may be less expensive. There can also be a cost of delaying your trauma treatment such as missed hours at work, problems in your relationships and feeling down. 

•  You want quicker relief:

  • Maybe you have been in weekly therapy and want to relieve trauma symptoms faster. This is a great way to supplement your current therapy.
    

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT IN AN EMDR INTENSIVE?

A personalized treatment plan that fits your needs. All intensives includes the following:

FREE 15 minute consultation

• An opportunity to ask any questions and to schedule your intensive appointment. You will also receive your first homework assignment. 

Intake and Treatment Planning Session:

• This appointment will prepare you for EMDR. In this 90 minute session, we will identify your goals, themes in your life story, and negative core beliefs you have developed about who you are. Through this planning session, we will find which intensive session is best for your unique situation. If you are involved in therapy with a different clinician, it is best practice for our team to speak with your clinician to ensure that we are taking great care of you.

We offer 3 hour intensive sessions. All intensives include short breaks.

Depending on your symptoms and goals, we recommend participating in at least 2-3 sessions of EMDR intensives to get your desired results. Your EMDR intensive can be customized based on length and how many you have. We only offer intensives once a week due to the time the body and mind needs to process in between sessions.
