EMDR Intensive Therapy for Deep, Focused Healing

Get results faster with trauma-focused therapy that meets you where you are — virtually or in-person.

What Is EMDR Intensive Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-supported therapy that helps people process trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress.

Unlike traditional weekly therapy, EMDR intensives offer extended sessions (typically 3 to 6 hours over 1–3 days) that allow for deeper, more concentrated healing.

This intensive model can accelerate relief, especially for:

  • PTSD and complex trauma

  • Panic attacks and anxiety

  • Burnout and emotional exhaustion

  • Childhood or attachment wounds

  • First responders, medical professionals, and caregivers

Who Can Benefit?

You don’t need a trauma diagnosis to benefit from this work.
EMDR and Brainspotting intensives are ideal for adults who want focused time and space to create meaningful change — without the waitlist, weekly sessions, or drawn-out timeline.

I offer EMDR Intensives for:

Clients are already working with a therapist
Who want to accelerate healing with adjunct EMDR/Brainspotting

Why Clients Choose EMDR Intensives

Brainspotting Method

As part of your EMDR Intensive experience, we may incorporate Brainspotting, a powerful, focused treatment method designed to access and release trauma stored in the body and nervous system.

During your intensive, Brainspotting may be used to support and deepen the work of EMDR, especially when working with complex trauma, performance blocks, or experiences that are hard to put into words.

It’s one of the tools we draw on to help you move through healing in a way that honors both your pace and your nervous system’s readiness.

How Are Intensives More Time & Cost Efficient Than Weekly Therapy

Weekly therapy often looks like this:

  • 10–15 mins checking in from the last session

  • 20–30 mins of EMDR or Brainspotting

  • 10–15 mins to wrap up

So for a full hour, you’re getting maybe 20–30 minutes of deep processing — and that’s if nothing major came up between sessions that shifts the focus.

You might spend a month (and ~$1,000) working through a single issue — only to circle back again when life gets busy or new stressors pile on.

Intensive therapy is designed differently:

  • 10–15 mins to set focus

  • 160–210 minutes of uninterrupted EMDR/Brainspotting

  • 10–15 mins to integrate and close

That’s 2–3+ hours of real, focused trauma work in a single sitting — often resolving what might take months in traditional talk therapy.

Instead of months of backtracking, missed appointments, or diluted focus, intensives give you:
✔️ Faster results
✔️ Fewer sessions
✔️ Less time off work or away from your family
✔️ Lower long-term costs — emotionally and financially

In short?
You feel better, sooner — and get your life back faster.

FAQ

Read this if you have any questions about how EMDR Intensives can offer a focused path forward.

  • Each traumatic event that we target can take 8-12 sessions to completely “clear,” meaning we have gone through all 8 phases of EMDR and you are reporting no disturbance when thinking about that targeted event. Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes each, depending on your insurance coverage.

  • EMDR therapy doesn't require you to dive deep into talking about your distressing experiences or do homework in between sessions. Instead, it helps your brain heal naturally, focusing on unprocessed traumatic memories.

    The goal of EMDR therapy is to help your brain process these memories, and many people find that it can be quicker than other types of therapy.

  • EMDR therapy can be a really nice complement to traditional talk therapy models. I am able to take on clients specifically for EMDR treatment while they continue their traditional talk therapy with their established therapist.
