EMDR Intensives

Sometimes people come to therapy and say: “I’ve done a lot of work already, but certain things still feel stuck.” EMDR Intensives are designed for those moments. Instead of meeting for traditional weekly sessions, an intensive allows us to spend extended time together focusing on experiences or patterns that may still be affecting you. This format creates space to move more deeply into the work while still maintaining a supportive and paced process.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming or present in everyday life. Many people find that EMDR helps them process experiences that talk therapy alone hasn’t fully resolved.

What is an EMDR Intensive?

An EMDR intensive is a longer therapy session where we focus on deeper trauma processing in a structured and supportive environment. Instead of spreading the work across many weeks, intensives allow us to dedicate several hours to the process. Breaks, grounding practices, and integration time are included so the work feels manageable and supportive.

Who might benefit from an EMDR Intensive?

Want to focus on a specific memory or life experience
