EMDR intensives provide extended time for trauma treatment within a single day or over several days. Instead of ending after a traditional 50-minute session, we have more time for preparation, processing, breaks when needed, and thoughtful closure.
For some clients, this format simply makes more sense. You may have a demanding schedule, want to focus on a particular issue, or prefer to set aside dedicated time for treatment rather than meeting every week.
Intensives are individually planned. Before scheduling, we will talk about what brings you to treatment, what you hope to work on, and whether an intensive is clinically appropriate for you.
The first step is a complimentary 20-minute consultation call. This gives us a chance to talk about what you're looking for, answer questions, and determine whether an EMDR intensive is the right fit for you.
We can also determine how much time to set aside based on what you'd like to address, and your individual treatment needs.
An intensive may involve a single 4-hour session, a longer treatment day of up to 6 hours, or multiple days of focused treatment.
Regardless of length, your intensive includes preparation before we begin and an integration session afterward.
Time to understand what brings you in, establish a focus for our work, and prepare for the intensive.
Dedicated treatment time for EMDR reprocessing, with breaks incorporated throughout, including a lunch break for longer session days. Multi-day intensives may include several treatment blocks scheduled across multiple consecutive days.
A follow-up session one to two weeks later to check in, discuss what you've noticed since the intensive, and consider next steps.
4-Hour Intensive
One focused treatment block.
Full-Day Intensive
Up to 6 hours of treatment time.
Multi-Day Intensive
Treatment scheduled across two or more days, for 4-hour or 6-hour blocks.
Extended Intensive
If your schedule allows, we can discuss options for your Intensive to take place over the course of 4 - 5 days.
The first step towards an EMDR Intensive is a 20 minute complimentary consultation.
A 50% deposit is due at the time of booking to reserve your intensive date(s). The remaining balance is due on the first day of your intensive.
