EMDR Therapy Intensive
A Brief Glimpse
A 3-Hour EMDR Therapy Intensive is a focused, immersive therapy experience designed to support deep healing and meaningful progress in a condensed period of time. Rather than spreading the work across traditional weekly sessions, this extended format allows for sustained therapeutic momentum, creating space to gently process distressing memories, reduce emotional intensity, and support long-term nervous system regulation using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
EMDR Therapy Intensives are especially beneficial for individuals seeking relief from trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, or long-standing emotional patterns that feel difficult to shift. This approach can be a powerful option for those who feel “stuck,” want to move through a specific issue more efficiently, or prefer concentrated work due to busy schedules or a desire for deeper continuity and focus.
EMDR therapy intensives can also serve as a deeply supportive adjunct to the work you may already be doing with your primary therapist. The concentrated nature of an intensive allows you to move through layers of healing that may be harder to access in traditional weekly sessions, creating momentum, clarity, and emotional spaciousness that naturally enrich your ongoing therapeutic work. Rather than replacing your current therapy, an intensive gently complements it — offering a focused period of transformation that you can carry back into your regular sessions with renewed insight, grounding, and readiness for the next phase of your healing journey.
Intensives can be scheduled as one, two, or three consecutive days, depending on each client’s therapy goals, capacity, and readiness. This flexibility allows the experience to be thoughtfully customized while honoring the client’s pace, boundaries, and nervous system needs.

FAQ's
*WHY DO AN EMDR THERAPY INTENSIVE? Therapy Intensives are more effective and efficient than standard 60-minute talk therapy sessions. Typically, in a 60-minute session, there are at least 5-10 minutes of “check-in” at the start of the session and usually, 5-10 minutes spent on “closing up” or “checking out” at the end of a session - Leaving only 30-40 minutes for deep therapeutic work. Therapy Intensives are different. A 3-hour Therapy Intensive allows for 2.5 hours of deep work. That’s the equivalent of five 60-minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!
*WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM EMDR THERAPY INTENSIVES? Therapy intensives are perfect for: ~people who want relief faster ~busy people who can't fit weekly sessions into their schedule, but still want the full benefits of therapy.
*WHAT'S INCLUDED? ~Custom EMDR Therapy Intensive Workbook, full of activities and assessments to prepare you for your intensive and track your progress, designed just for you! ~Pre Goal Setting Session to identify areas you are wanting to target during your intensive. ~Custom EMDR Therapy Intensive Session(s) customized to fit your schedule and needs. 3 hours of intensive EMDR therapy over the course of 1-3 days. ~Post Reflection Session to discuss next steps and reflect on areas of insight, relief, and transformation.
*WHAT'S THE INVESTMENT? ~Intensives are an investment in your overall wellbeing - and they often cost less than traditional therapy in the long run. In just a single 3 hour intensive, you can achieve what might take months of weekly sessions. ~Choosing an intensive doesn't just save you money, it saves time too. This approach focuses on concentrated, purposeful time dedicated to the deep work that brings real change to your daily life. Intensive packages start at $1,125. Fees are based on $150 per hour. The Introductory package includes 2 hrs of administrative time to customize and review your client workbook in addition to the face to face goal setting, intensive and reflection sessions.
*CAN MY INSURANCE HELP PAY FOR EMDR THERAPY INTENSIVES? Therapy Intensives are not covered by insurance. However, if you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse up to an hour per day of an intensive. It is best to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card to learn the details about your specific plan.
*WHEN ARE PAYMENTS DUE? A 50% non-refuldable deposit is due at the time you book your EMDR Therapy Intensive. The remaining 50% is due on the first day of the intensive session.
*HOW MANY INTENSIVE DAYS SHOULD I SCHEDULE? This depends on your goals for your EMDR Therapy Intensive. Some goals can be reached in a 1-Day 3-hour intensive, but other goals are more complex and may require multiple days. I can help you determine the number of days that would work best for your therapy goals.
*IF I ALREADY HAVE A PRIMARY THERAPIST, CAN I DO AN INTENSIVE AS ADJUNCT THERAPY? Yes! EMDR Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy, I would ask that you sign a release of information so that your current therapist and I can coordinate to best serve you.
*HOW DO I GET STARTED? Schedule a 15 minute consultation call to explore your goals, answer questions, and see if an intensive is the right fit.
