Intensive Therapy Sessions: EMDR & Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

Focused Healing for Individuals and Couples Ready for Deep Transformation

Life challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when healing from trauma or navigating emotional disconnection in relationships. Whether you're dealing with personal trauma or looking to rebuild intimacy and trust in your partnership, intensive therapy offers a powerful, focused approach for making significant progress in a short period of time.

Our EMDR Trauma Therapy Intensives and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) Intensives are designed to provide fast, effective healing by offering extended sessions that allow you to dive deeper into your work.

What is Intensive Therapy?

Intensive therapy involves extended therapy sessions, typically longer than the standard 50–75 minute time frame, and often conducted over one or several days. This approach provides the time, continuity, and focused attention needed to work through emotional blocks, trauma, or relational issues more deeply and efficiently than in traditional, weekly therapy formats.

EMDR Trauma Therapy Intensives

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful therapeutic method used to help individuals process and heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and emotional distress. For those seeking rapid progress, EMDR Intensives can provide an accelerated healing experience.

What is EMDR Trauma Therapy Intensive?

EMDR Intensives involve longer sessions that allow us to focus deeply on traumatic memories or emotional blocks. Rather than the weekly stop-and-start rhythm of traditional therapy, EMDR Intensives provide an uninterrupted flow of healing.

Typical structures for EMDR Intensives include:

  • 2-hour sessions once per week

  • Multi-hour sessions (e.g., 4 hours with breaks)

  • Multiple days of intensive therapy (e.g., 1-hour session on day one, 2 hours on day two, 2 hours on day three)

These intensives are ideal for individuals seeking:

  • Faster resolution of traumatic memories or emotional blocks

  • A focused, condensed time frame for therapy

  • A supportive environment to explore deep-rooted issues without interruption

Why Choose EMDR Trauma Therapy Intensives?

  • Accelerated Healing: EMDR Intensives are designed to fast-track your healing journey, enabling you to process and release trauma in a concentrated time period.

  • Continuity: Instead of the typical gap between sessions, intensives offer a more continuous flow, allowing you to work through issues with greater depth and focus.

  • Convenience: If you have a busy schedule, rural commute, or travel frequently, the intensive format can be a great way to fit in therapy while maximizing the time spent in each session.

Cost:

  • $600 for a 2-hour session

  • Additional time and custom plans can be discussed during the consultation

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) Intensives

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is a well-established and highly effective therapeutic model that helps couples deepen their emotional connection, rebuild trust, and heal from past hurts. EFCT Intensives are designed to fast-track this healing process, allowing couples to make significant progress in a short amount of time.

What is an EFCT Intensive?

EFCT Intensives involve extended sessions where couples dive into core emotional issues, such as emotional disconnection, patterns of negative communication, and unhealed past wounds. These intensives are designed to create a safe and supportive space for couples to reconnect, rebuild trust, and strengthen their emotional bond.

Typical structures for EFCT Intensives may include:

  • A 2-hour session once per week

  • A full day of intensive therapy (e.g., 6 hours with breaks)

  • Multi-day sessions to allow for more extensive emotional work

Why Choose EFCT Intensives?

  • Deep Emotional Connection: EFCT is designed to help couples identify and reframe negative emotional patterns, leading to stronger emotional intimacy and improved communication.

  • Accelerated Resolution of Conflict: Couples can address long-standing issues or patterns in a condensed period, allowing for faster resolution and healing.

  • Personalized Approach: Each intensive is tailored to the specific needs of the couple, whether it's reconnecting after a breakup, managing conflict, or healing from betrayal or trauma.

Benefits of EFCT Intensives:

  • Stronger Emotional Bonding: Couples learn how to express vulnerable emotions and feel deeply connected to one another.

  • Effective Communication Skills: EFCT helps couples understand each other’s emotional needs and communicate in a more supportive and empathetic way.

  • Healing Past Wounds: Couples work together to heal from past hurts and rebuild a stronger, more resilient relationship.

Cost:

  • $600 for a 2-hour session

  • Extended sessions or multi-day intensives available upon request

How Do I Know if an Intensive Is Right for Me or My Relationship?

If you’re considering an intensive therapy session, it’s important to evaluate whether this format fits your needs. We offer a free 15-minute consultation to help determine if an intensive approach is right for you or your relationship.

During this consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and the most appropriate therapy format to meet your needs. From there, we can begin planning your first intensive session, which may be scheduled immediately or after a brief introductory session to ensure comfort and readiness.

How to Prepare for an Intensive Therapy Session

Preparation for intensive therapy is simple. For EMDR Intensives, wear comfortable clothing and bring anything that helps you feel grounded, such as a favorite blanket, tea, or snack. For EFCT Intensives, come with an open heart and mind, and be ready to engage deeply with your partner. It’s also a good idea to set aside time for self-care before and after the intensive to ensure you have the emotional space to process and integrate the work done during the session.
