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.
