EMDR Intensives: Deep Healing in a Shorter Time Frame

Are you feeling stuck in your healing journey? Do you find that weekly therapy isn't moving fast enough or that your busy schedule makes it difficult to commit? EMDR Intensives offer a powerful alternative—providing focused, accelerated trauma healing that allows you to process more in a few days than months of weekly therapy.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I offer personalized, immersive therapy intensives designed for individuals ready to break through emotional barriers and experience lasting change.

Unlike traditional therapy, where sessions are spread out over weeks or months, EMDR Intensives are structured as multiple extended sessions over consecutive days. This approach allows for:

✅ Deep, uninterrupted trauma processing
✅ Faster emotional breakthroughs
✅ More effective symptom relief

Instead of restarting therapy each week, you’ll engage in focused, immersive work, leading to faster and more profound healing.

Benefits of EMDR Intensives

✅ Rapid Healing – Achieve in days what might take months in traditional therapy.
✅ Flexible Scheduling – Ideal for those with limited time availability.
✅ Cost-Effective – Reduces the overall number of therapy sessions.
✅ Deeper Processing – Longer sessions allow for more thorough emotional work.
✅ Less Disruption – No weekly therapy "restart"—just focused, continuous progress.

Highly Effective for Individuals Who:

✔ Have experienced trauma (e.g., childhood trauma, abuse, PTSD, accidents, grief, or medical trauma).
✔ Struggle with anxiety, depression, or emotional dysregulation and want rapid relief.
✔ Have difficulty committing to weekly therapy due to scheduling constraints.
✔ Feel stuck in traditional therapy and need a breakthrough.
✔ Prefer a focused approach that allows them to process emotions without weekly interruptions.
 ✔ Want to experience progress in a shorter time frame.

We’ll assess readiness together in a Free 20 min pre-intensive consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Are EMDR Intensives Effective for Everyone?

Not always. While EMDR Intensives can be highly effective, they may not be suitable for individuals with:

  • Unstable mental health conditions requiring long-term stabilization.

  • Limited coping skills to manage the intense emotional work.

  • A preference for gradual, weekly therapy instead of deep, immersive sessions.

❓ How Do I Know If an EMDR Intensive Is Right for Me?

During our initial consultation, we’ll assess:
✔ Your emotional readiness for deep processing.
✔ Whether an intensive is the best format for your needs.
✔ If you have a support system in place post-intensive.

❓ What Are the Risks of EMDR Intensives?

  • Emotional Intensity – Trauma processing may cause temporary distress.

  • Fatigue – Extended therapy sessions require mental and emotional energy.

  • Integration Needs – Aftercare and follow-up are important for long-term success.

❓ Can an EMDR Intensive Replace Traditional Therapy?

Not necessarily. While some people achieve dramatic results and don’t require additional therapy, others may need continued support. EMDR Intensives can be a powerful tool but are not a one-size-fits-all solution.
