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
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:

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.
-
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.
