Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from different treatment approaches.The intensive is a unique way to approach EMDR therapy. With an extended session, much more material can be processed and healed quicker than is possible in traditional weekly therapy.

An Intensive looks like 4 – 6 hour sessions for 1 – 5 consecutive days. Rather than dealing with things on a weekly basis for months or even years, you can work through many issues intensively and fast track the healing and relief you seek as you look to move forward with your life.

Please keep in mind it is called an intensive for a reason. The work can certainly be INTENSE, but so is the healing! Intensives are not for everyone and thorough assessment of a potential client’s readiness for intensive work is provided in the free 30 minute consultation session over the telephone. If you are interested in exploring the idea of an Intensive, please contact me to schedule a consultation session and I will help you decide if an Intensive is right for you. In some cases, Intensives can be utilized to work on very specific parts of a client’s history (i.e. preverbal trauma) and after the Intensive the client returns to the care of their weekly therapist. If you currently have a therapist, please feel free to discuss this option with them and I am happy to discuss collaborative work.
