EMDR intensives: An investment in your healing and your future.
An EMDR intensive offers a focused, supportive space for deep healing—helping you make meaningful progress in a way that honors your story.
This approach is about giving yourself the time, care, and space you deserve for lasting change. In just one 3-hour session, we can begin the process of moving through the stuck places that have felt out of reach.
Here’s how it works:
After our consultation call we will schedule an intake and I will send you paperwork including a workbook that is personalized and customized to you and your experiences.
We meet for an intake session where we will review history and set goals for your intensive .
Next, we’ll have a 3-hour intensive to begin the work in a way that feels intentional and supportive.
Afterward, we’ll assess your progress together and determine next steps.
Some clients find that a single 3-hour session provides the shift they need, while others may benefit from an additional 3-hour session or a full-day (6-hour) intensive to complete their treatment. There’s no one-size-fits-all—you will always have a voice and a choice in what comes next.
This process is about moving at your pace, with professional guidance and a clear plan for healing.

Are in an emotionally delicate place where trauma processing might feel a bit too overwhelming right now.
Prefer a slower, ongoing therapy model instead of an intensive, focused approach.
Are not ready or comfortable exploring emotions, memories, or body-based processing.
Are looking for a quick fix rather than a deep, intentional healing process.
What it’s like to experience an EMDR intensive
-
This is not about “pushing through” trauma—it’s about working with your mind and body at a pace that feels safe for you. If something feels like too much, we pause. If you need a break, we take one. If something unexpected comes up, we make space for it.
Healing doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing—it can be gentle, flexible, and tailored to what you need in the moment.
-
Unlike traditional therapy, where you might leave a session just as things are getting intense, an intensive allows for deeper healing without abrupt stops and starts.
There’s time for:
Grounding before we begin, so you feel steady and ready.
Processing without the pressure to “hurrying up” before the session ends.
Debriefing so you leave feeling at ease, not emotionally raw.
I’m here with you for the entire time—offering guidance, reassurance, and care.
-
You don’t need to retell your trauma in detail for EMDR to work. If you want to share, you can. But if you’d rather process internally, that’s completely valid. The healing still happens.
Your brain already knows how to heal—we’re just giving it the right conditions to do so.
-
It can be profound to notice a painful memory losing its intensity—something that once felt sharp and overwhelming may start to feel distant, or even neutral.
Some people describe it like a weight being lifted, others say it’s like their body finally exhaling after holding tension for years. However it unfolds for you, your experience is valid.
-
There’s no single “right way” to heal. Some people do one intensive and feel a powerful, lasting shift. Others use intensives as part of an ongoing healing process.
