EMDR addressed the psychological and physical symptoms stemming from adverse life experiences. EMDR is not just for trauma; it is also utilized for performance enhancement.

EMDR intensives allow the opportunity to process through your symptoms in a more succinct and focused way without the interruption of a 50- minute session. An intensive format may decrease overall treatment time because of time not spent on: a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after healing, or d) assisting the client In regaining composure at the end of each session. 

Yes. Perhaps you’ve felt a sense that something profound has yet to change, but you’re not quite sure how to shift all the way into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist. Maybe you now cognitively understand new things, yet your body is still confused, so you’re curious about how adjunct EMDR intensive therapy can help. We will identify what format is best for you during your initial consultation. 

A half day Intensive offers a multitude of resources and can help to either increase performance and confidence, or significantly decrease the devastating effects of single event trauma (e.g. negative cognitions, disturbing emotions, and body sensations). While significant healing can occur in one half-day Intensive, complex PTSD deserves more treatment than one half-day Intensive. Many of my clients experiencing Complex PTSD may continue to work on their trauma histories through monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly half-day Intensives. 

Participating in a 3-day (weekday or weekend) EMDR Intensive may create Impactful change more efficiently than just weekly 50-minute sessions or even one half-day Intensive. We will Identify what format Is best for you during your initial consultation. 

EMDR intensives are generally not covered by health Insurance. However, the assessment and some aspects can be submitted by you for possible reimbursement. Upon request, the clinician will provide a superbill. Please note that the clinician provides EMDR Intensives as an out-of-network service and will not balance-bill.
