Intensive EMDR Therapy
“Every human has a true, genuine authentic self. The trauma is the disconnection from it. The healing is the reconnection with it.”
— Gábor Máté
Overview
EMDR Intensives provide a focused, and accelerated approach to healing—offering longer sessions designed to help your nervous system process and integrate distressing experiences, creating powerful shifts in a short amount of time. Rather than meeting weekly over months or years, intensives take place in longer blocks of time (ranging from half-day to multi-day formats), allowing for deeper continuity and relief from long-held patterns or memories. This format allows you to dive deep with more ease, and experience faster, lasting results. Intensive therapy can be especially helpful when you want to move through something specific, are at a transition point in life, or wish to make progress more efficiently in less time. Many clients find intensives more cost-effective than ongoing weekly therapy, especially when facing complex trauma, long-held patterns, or urgent needs. Each intensive includes preparation, building your capacity to ground yourself, reprocessing, and integration support to ensure your system feels safe and cared for before, during, and after the experience.
