The Essence of EMDR Intensives

What are

EMDR Intensives?

Unlike traditional EMDR therapy, which may occur once weekly for 50 minutes, EMDR Intensives involve longer, more concentrated sessions—often spanning several hours per day over one or more consecutive days. This format allows clients to move through the eight phases of EMDR therapy more fluidly and without the interruption and emotional disconnection that can happen with longer gaps between sessions.

In an intensive, the focus is deliberate and sustained. Clients are able to access affective material—emotional memories and sensations—while staying grounded and supported, creating an environment for deep processing and real-time transformation.

Is an EMDR Intensive right for me?

Before scheduling, all clients must meet with the clinician for a free 20 minute consultation to determine if you would be a good candidate for intensive EMDR treatment.

Situations where you might choose an EMDR Intensive include:

  • Recent disturbing events have disrupted your life and you want to feel better and get back to previous functioning quickly.

  • You have witnessed or experienced a disturbing or traumatic event in your life and have symptoms that bother you (ie. car accident, work related events in first responders, sexual assault, crime, traumatic medical procedure, severe injury, violence, childhood bullying, military combat, emotional abuse).

  • You want to improve your performance on the job or in the field and don’t want to attend weekly therapy for months or years on end.
