EMDR INTENSIVES

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a practical therapeutic approach that addresses the psychological and physiological symptoms resulting from adverse life experiences. While it is widely recognized for its application in treating trauma, EMDR is also utilized to enhance performance in various contexts.

EMDR intensives offer a powerful way to address your symptoms more effectively and with a sharper focus, moving beyond the limitations of traditional 50-minute sessions. Each session addresses urgent crises and concerns, emphasizing stabilization and coping strategies that truly matter.

By choosing the intensive format, you can significantly reduce overall treatment time by skipping unnecessary components like a) routine check-ins at the beginning of each session, b) focusing on skills that may become irrelevant after healing, and c) the time spent helping clients regain composure at the end of a session.

This streamlined approach enhances the therapeutic experience and fosters quicker and more meaningful progress on the healing journey.

Yes, it's possible you feel that something significant hasn't changed yet, but you're unsure how to shift into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist. While you may now understand new concepts intellectually, your body may still feel confused. If that's the case, you might be interested in exploring adjunct EMDR intensive therapy to help facilitate that shift. We will determine which format works best for you during your initial consultation.

The term "adjunct" refers to something that is added to another thing but is not an essential part. In various contexts, it can imply a supplementary or supportive role. In therapy, an adjunct therapist is an additional therapist who works separately from the primary therapist.

A half-day intensive offers a diverse range of resources designed to address the unique needs of each individual. This format can effectively enhance performance and self-confidence or alleviate the significant impacts of single-event trauma, such as negative cognitions, distressing emotions, and physical sensations. Although substantial healing can be achieved in a single half-day intensive, it is crucial to acknowledge that individuals experiencing Complex PTSD often require more comprehensive treatment. Many clients navigating Complex PTSD opt to pursue ongoing support through monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly half-day intensives, thereby facilitating continued progress in their trauma recovery journeys.

A half-day intensive provides abundant personalized resources designed to meet your specific needs. This approach can significantly boost your performance and confidence or help mitigate the severe effects of single-event trauma, including negative thoughts, distressing emotions, and uncomfortable physical sensations. While remarkable healing can emerge from a single half-day intensive, it’s essential to recognize that Complex PTSD often necessitates more extensive treatment. Clients can continue their healing journey through regular half-day intensives, whether monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly, ensuring ongoing support and progress in addressing their trauma histories.

Participating in 90 minute EMDR intensive is a personalized journey toward impactful change. It's more efficient than just weekly, 50-minute. We will identify the format best for you during your initial consultation, ensuring your unique needs are met.

Yes. Many insurance companies reimburse a significant portion of the cost of psychotherapy. For insurance purposes, I am considered an out-of-network provider. It's best to determine the exact details of your policy ahead of time, including what benefits are available regarding out-of-network providers and if your insurance will reimburse several hours of therapy in one day or one week. I will provide you with a Superbill for all direct contact therapy services included in the program.

EMDR intensives provide an efficient and focused approach to trauma healing, allowing you to make significant progress in a shorter amount of time. This approach is especially beneficial if you’ve been struggling to find lasting relief or if your schedule makes weekly sessions difficult to commit to.

While intensives may have a higher upfront cost, offering flexible payment methods like Klarna (separate from our practice) and other options makes them more accessible. You can break up the cost into manageable payments, making this life-changing experience more affordable without straining your finances.

We want to support you and make EMDR intensives accessible, so you can invest in your well-being, healing, and future. By committing to your growth now, you’re setting the foundation for long-term peace and emotional freedom.
