Intensives

• Rapid results: Ideal for those who want meaningful change in a shorter amount of time.
• Deeper focus: Extended sessions allow us to go beyond surface-level issues and work on core emotional patterns, unresolved trauma, and limiting beliefs.
• Custom-tailored: Intensives are designed to meet your unique goals—whether you're looking to overcome trauma, performance blocks, grief, anxiety, or build mental strength after a major life event.
• Efficient for busy people: Great for professionals, athletes, first responders, or anyone who can’t commit to ongoing weekly sessions, but wants real, lasting progress.

While Intensives can involve looking at difficult or painful experiences, many people find that doing this focused work over one or two  or three days is more manageable—and more empowering—than stretching it out over months. It’s not about doing it “the right way,” but about choosing what fits your life, your goals, and your readiness to heal.

• What does the research say about Intensives?

Intensive implementation of trauma-focused therapy demonstrates promising tolerance among PTSD patients, facilitating swifter symptom alleviation with comparable, if not superior, outcomes, thereby diminishing premature dropout rates. Intensive  treatment proves viable and yields substantial improvements in PTSD symptoms within a condensed timeframe. Additional information is available here. An intensive regimen utilizing  therapy emerges as a potentially safe and efficacious treatment avenue for complex PTSD.

The economic argument is compelling: compared to traditional trauma therapy approaches, the intensive format may streamline treatment duration by minimizing time allocated to a) session introspection, b) addressing immediate crises, c) cultivating stabilization and coping skills rendered unnecessary post-trauma healing, or d) assisting clients in session closure.\

• Can insurance cover the cost of an EMDR Intensive?

We do not accept insurance for Intensives. Insurance companies do not cover the cost of intensive sessions.  

• Is an  Intensive worth the time and money?

 Intensives allow you to recieve the benefit of months of therapy in a short period of time. Instead of waiting months, you receive the benefits and relief of treatment in just a few days. The investment is similar to what you would pay over time for weekly therapy except with an intensive you receive immediate results in days.
