You don’t have to have it all figured out. If you’re feeling stuck and open to trying something different, that’s often a sign that this might be worth exploring. Whatever you decide, I trust you to make the choice that is best for you. If you’re curious to learn more, I’d be happy to connect and provide additional details to support your decision. This is a space where you can take your time, ask questions, and choose what aligns with your healing.

EMDR intensives are a highly specialized and personalized approach to healing, designed to help you make meaningful progress in a condensed timeframe. Because this model differs from traditional weekly therapy and is structured outside the constraints of insurance-based treatment plans, it is not covered by insurance (in network or out of network) and thus, is a private-pay service.
This allows for greater flexibility, deeper focus, and a pace that is guided by your needs—not insurance limitations.
All clients will receive a “good faith estimate” outlining therapy rates and an estimated cumulative cost of therapy for the year. This is part of the No Surprises Act initiated January 2022.

That's completely okay! We can start with regular therapy sessions to build safety and prepare for deeper work. EMDR is most effective when you feel ready and have developed some coping tools. There's no pressure to jump into intensive work before you're comfortable.
