EMDR Intensive Therapy In Florida & Alabama
Therapy for deep, focused healing
Trauma-focused EMDR and Brainspotting therapy designed to help you feel better sooner, available in-person and virtually across Florida and Alabama.
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
Quicker relief from emotional pain
More flexibility than weekly therapy
Focused, uninterrupted sessions
Ideal for people with busy lives, or those wanting to avoid months of appointments
Proven effective for trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief

Choose Your Experience:
The Renewal
Investment of $2,250
A focused, full-day therapy experience designed to help you move through a specific issue with clarity, depth, and momentum.
This option is ideal if you feel ready to address something meaningful and want dedicated space to do the work, rather than revisiting the same topic week after week.
What’s included:
A 90-minute preparation session scheduled before your intensive to clarify goals, reduce overwhelm, and create a clear, supportive plan
Up to 6 hours of extended EMDR or Brainspotting therapy in one day, with breaks built in to support regulation and effectiveness
Protected, uninterrupted time for focused trauma processing, without repeatedly starting and stopping
Personalized preparation and integration materials created specifically for you, including practical tools and reflections you can continue using after your intensive
Thoughtfully selected assessments used to guide focus and support lasting change
Best for:
Clients wanting to work through one to two clearly defined memories, stressors, or patterns and feel real movement without committing to multiple therapy days.
The Breakthrough
Investment of $2,950
A deeper, more expansive intensive designed for work that needs time, continuity, and space to settle.
The Breakthrough offers something a single day cannot: the ability to process deeply, step away, and return with clarity. This allows important insights, emotional shifts, and nervous system regulation to unfold between sessions, often leading to more lasting change.
This is where many clients experience their most meaningful breakthroughs.
What’s included:
A 90-minute preparation session to thoughtfully map out your intensive and set clear priorities
Two extended therapy days (approximately 4.5 hours each) across two days to address multiple concerns, targets, or events.
Time between days for reflection, rest, and emotional processing as well as a chance for us to refine as needed once you return on day 2.
Built-in pacing and regulation to support deeper work without overwhelm.
Personalized preparation and integration materials created specifically for you, including practical tools and reflections you can continue using after your intensive
Select assessments used to guide focus, pacing, and direction
Best for:
Clients navigating layered stress, long-standing patterns, or burnout who want more than a single reset and are ready for deeper, more durable change.
Many clients choose this option because the space between sessions allows insights and shifts to settle, making the work feel clearer, deeper, and more sustainable than a one-day intensive.
The Immersion
Investment of $3,750
The Immersion is your most comprehensive, supportive, and spacious intensive experience.
Designed for deeper healing and long-standing patterns, this option offers something shorter intensives cannot: time for the work to unfold, settle, and integrate while you are fully supported throughout the process.
Across three days, your nervous system has room to process, rest, and return, allowing changes to feel more grounded, connected, and lasting.
What’s included:
A 90-minute preparation session to thoughtfully design your intensive, clarify priorities, and create a strong foundation for the work
Three extended therapy days (approximately 4 hours each) across three consecutive days
This pacing allows for depth without overwhelm and continuity without rushing
Consistent, focused EMDR or Brainspotting work that builds across days rather than restarting each session
Built-in time between sessions for rest, nervous system regulation, and emotional integration
Slower, more spacious pacing that supports deeper layers of healing to emerge safely
Fully customized preparation and integration materials created specifically for your history, goals, and nervous system needs
Select assessments used to guide focus and support long-term relief beyond the intensive
Best for:
Clients addressing complex or long-standing patterns, including childhood or developmental trauma, or those who want the highest level of support, containment, and continuity available.
Many clients choose the Immersion because the extended pacing and support allow the work to go deeper and feel more complete, often replacing six months or more of traditional weekly therapy.

Intensives Therapy x Weekly Therapy
Weekly therapy
In a typical 50–60 minute session:
10–15 minutes checking in from the previous session
20–30 minutes of EMDR or Brainspotting processing
10–15 minutes to regulate and close
This means that in most sessions, only 20–30 minutes are spent in focused trauma processing.
Because life continues between sessions, the focus often shifts. New stressors come up, appointments get rescheduled, or sessions are spent stabilizing rather than processing. It is common to spend several months working on a single stressor.
At an average private-pay rate, four weekly sessions in a month can cost around $1,000–$1,400, depending on provider and location, without always resolving the issue you came in to address.
Intensive therapy
Intensive therapy is intentionally designed to create depth and continuity.
10–15 minutes to establish focus and prepare
Multiple hours of uninterrupted EMDR or Brainspotting processing, often ranging from 4 to 6 hours depending on the structure of your intensive
10–15 minutes to integrate and close
This allows for two to three or more hours of focused trauma work in a single sitting, without repeatedly starting and stopping.
Many clients are able to work through one or more core stressors within a half or full day.
A one-day intensive is typically only around $2,000, which often replaces months of weekly sessions. Intensives are not only saving you time but also saving you. money in the long run.
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.

FAQ
Read this if you have any questions about how EMDR Intensives can offer a focused path forward.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge. Using guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, we activate your brain’s natural healing process — kind of like your brain’s “file cabinet” getting reorganized. Over time, painful memories feel less triggering, and you can think about them without the same emotional intensity.
-
With traditional 50-minute sessions, you might have to stop in the middle of processing, which can leave you feeling raw or emotional afterward. Intensives are different: because we have several hours together, we have time to work all the way through a memory and close it out properly before you leave. Clients often report feeling lighter, calmer, and surprisingly grounded at the end of the day, even after working through difficult material.
-
EMDR is helpful for adults dealing with:
Childhood or complex trauma
Medical or religious trauma
PTSD, anxiety, or panic attacks
Grief and loss
Low self-esteem or perfectionism
Stress related to chronic illness
If you’ve been through something that still feels “stuck,” EMDR can help your brain finish processing it so you can move forward.
-
Because I offer EMDR in an intensive format only, we can accomplish weeks or months of therapy in just 1–3 days. Most clients choose a one-, two-, or three-day intensive depending on how much they want to work on. We start with a 90-minute intake session to create a personalized plan, then decide how many days will give you the best results.
-
EMDR is considered very safe when guided by a trained clinician. The most common side effects are feeling tired, emotional, or having vivid dreams after sessions (a sign your brain is processing). These usually pass within a day or two. We work together to keep you regulated so you never feel “flooded” or out of control.
-
Yes! EMDR can help reduce the emotional and nervous system activation that often worsens physical symptoms like pain, tension, and fatigue. By processing trauma and lowering stress, many clients with chronic illness notice fewer flare-ups, better sleep, and more energy.
-
Each intensive session starts with grounding and a quick check-in. Then we identify a memory, belief, or feeling to target. You’ll follow my guidance as we use eye movements, taps, or sounds to process the memory. We pause often to check in and make sure you’re staying regulated. At the end, we close with grounding so you leave feeling steady and safe, even after several hours of work.
