Does it feel like weekly 50 minute therapy simply hasn’t been enough to help you live the life you want?
-
You might have had a felt sense that something profound has yet to change, but you’re not quite sure why you haven’t gotten there with all the time you’ve already invested in therapy.
​
-
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 and like a chore than supportive and something you want to do. Not to mention you might sit on a waitlist for weekly therapy for weeks or months.​​
​
-
Maybe you’re needing help — and a lot of it — right now, and you don’t want to spend months or even years in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better.
​
-
Or you are a new client to therapy who just prefers to work intensively.
What does an EMDR Intensive Include?
Pre-Intensive Interview
A 60-minute session to determine the goals of the EMDR Intensive and prepare for the experience. We will identify the painful memories, beliefs, emotions, or images from which you are seeking relief.
Customized Treatment Program
The EMDR Intensive sessions take place virtually and are scheduled for 1-3 days for 3 hours each day. Includes targeted treatment and resourcing activities customized for you.
Personalized treatment workbook
The workbook includes assessments and activities to prepare for the Intensive. The workbook allows you keep a record of progress on your treatment goals before, during, and after our sessions.
Post-Intensive Interview
A 60-minute session to debrief the experience and reflect on areas of insight, relief, and transformation. Discuss your next steps for continued growth and healing.

How is intensive therapy more cost effective and time efficient than weekly therapy?
Weekly therapy typically includes:
-
10-15 minutes of checking in from the last session
-
20-30 minutes of EMDR processing
-
10-15 minutes of closing the session
You might spend a month working on one specific stressor, costing around $1,000 for the 4 weekly therapy sessions.
​
But realistically, stuff comes up between sessions, you don’t want to work on processing the next session, and session focus week-to-week might shift significantly.
​
So you might actually be in weekly therapy for multiple months ($1,000 x’s # of months) and still not feel fully resolved in the thing causing you stress right now.
Intensive therapy typically includes:
-
10-15 minutes of checking in, establishing session focus
-
160-210 minutes of EMDR processing
-
10-15 minutes closing the session
​
You might fully resolve one or multiple stressors within half a day, costing around $2,000. 2-3 hours of EMDR processing is equivalent to at least double that amount of talk therapy sessions so you’re doing more work, in less time, needing less therapy overall.
​
You feel better, faster.
​
You spend less on symptom-managing medications (that weren’t really working anyway).
​
You don’t have to keep taking time off of work or paying for childcare to attend your sessions.
