EMDR Therapy Intensive Sessions

Focused Healing for When You’re Ready to Go Deeper

You might be here because your therapist suggested that EMDR intensives could benefit you—or maybe you found this page while exploring options for a more focused approach to therapy. Either way, welcome. This page will guide you through what intensive EMDR sessions are, how they work, and why they might be a good fit for your healing journey.

EMDR Therapy Intensive Program

Rapid Healing. Deep Transformation. Focused Time.

Are you feeling stuck in traditional weekly therapy sessions? Our EMDR Therapy Intensive may be the solution you've been searching for.

Designed for those ready to make meaningful progress in a short period of time, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Intensives offer a powerful and efficient path toward healing from trauma, anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm.

What is an EMDR Intensive?

An EMDR Intensive is a focused therapy experience that condenses weeks or months of traditional therapy into a few strategically planned extended sessions. Rather than the stop-and-start rhythm of weekly visits, intensives allow for continuous, uninterrupted processing of stuck trauma memories and emotional blocks.

You’ll work closely with a trained EMDR therapist to:

  • Identify core issues and targets for reprocessing

  • Engage in deep healing work over 1 to 3 consecutive days

  • Leave with tools and clarity to move forward in life

Who Is It For?

EMDR Intensives are ideal for:

  • Busy professionals or students who need flexibility

  • First responders, veterans, and trauma survivors

  • Individuals preparing for or recovering from life transitions (e.g., divorce, loss, career changes)

  • Those feeling plateaued in weekly therapy

Whether you're new to EMDR or looking to dive deeper into existing work, an intensive can accelerate healing in a focused, supportive environment.

What’s Included

Each EMDR Intensive is personalized to your needs and may include:

  • A 60-minute pre-consultation session (virtual or in-person)

  • Customized treatment planning

  • 3 to 15 hours of EMDR therapy over 1–3 days

  • Integration support and follow-up resources

  • Optional add-ons such as somatic therapy, journaling prompts, or coaching

Benefits of the Intensive Format

✅ Faster results compared to weekly sessions
✅ Deep, uninterrupted trauma processing
✅ Greater emotional clarity and relief
✅ More scheduling flexibility for your lifestyle
✅ Supportive care in a contained, confidential setting

What Are Intensive EMDR Sessions?

Intensive EMDR sessions refer to any therapy session that exceeds the traditional 50–75 minute timeframe. These longer sessions allow for deeper, more continuous processing, helping you make meaningful progress in a condensed time period.

The structure of an intensive is flexible and tailored to your goals, needs, and availability. Some examples include:

  • 2-hour session once per week

  • 4-hour block (2 hours + 1-hour break + 2 hours)

  • Multi-day structure (e.g., 50 minutes Wednesday, 2 hours Thursday, 2 hours Friday)

These sessions are conducted in-person and provide space for more fluid, uninterrupted therapeutic work.

Why Choose an EMDR Intensive?

There are many reasons why an intensive approach might work for you:

Continuity
In a standard 50-minute session, it can feel like just as you're starting to unpack something, time is up. Intensives eliminate that stop-and-start rhythm, allowing us to stay in the flow of the work and dive deeper without interruption.

Shift Work
If your schedule doesn't allow for weekly therapy due to shift work or extended time away from the community, intensives can help you continue your healing work when you're available.

Finances
While the upfront cost of an intensive may feel significant, it can reduce the overall time and number of sessions needed to reach your goals. Intensives have been shown to produce faster results, which may mean fewer sessions in the long run.

Commute
If you live in a rural area or have to travel a long distance to attend therapy, intensives can help you make the most of your time and effort by allowing more work to be done in fewer visits.

Am I a Good Fit for an EMDR Intensive?

To explore if this format is a good fit for you, we offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. During this call, we’ll discuss your goals and any questions you may have. If it feels right, we can begin planning your first session.

In some cases, clients may begin with a standard 50-minute session to get comfortable with the therapist and space. In others, an intensive may be the very first step, depending on your preferences and clinical need. If you're already working with a therapist at our clinic, feel free to reach out to them directly.

How to Prepare

Preparing for an EMDR intensive is simple. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and bringing any personal comfort items such as a favorite tea, snack, blanket, or cozy mug. While our office is equipped with snacks, drinks, and blankets, bringing familiar items can enhance your comfort and support grounding during the session.

Cost

$600 for a 2-hour session
Additional time and custom plans can be discussed during your consultation.
