EMDR Intensives for an Immersive Healing Experience

Sometimes weekly therapy isn't enough to get you unstuck — not because something's wrong with you, but because 50 minutes a week barely gives you time to warm up before you have to stop.


An EMDR intensive is different. Instead of meeting for an hour once a week, we set aside an extended block of time to go deep on one thing and actually stay with it long enough to move through it.


There's no rushing to wrap up right when something starts to shift. No week-long gap where things settle back into old patterns before we can build on what we started. 


Just sustained, focused time to work through what's been weighing on you.


Many people leave an intensive feeling lighter — like something that's been stuck for a long time has finally moved. Clearer. More like themselves. Less braced, more able to breathe.


An intensive might be a good fit if you:

  • Have a full schedule and want focused, efficient care rather than an open-ended weekly commitment
  • Aren't sure exactly what's driving the heaviness — you just know something isn't right, and you're ready to find out what's underneath it 
  • Feel like weekly therapy has helped, but you've hit a plateau
  • Are carrying long-standing pain, anxiety, or relationship wounds that haven't fully shifted
  • Already have a talk therapist and want EMDR as a focused add-on to that work


 You may leave feeling:

  • Lighter — like something that's been stuck for a long time has finally moved
  • More like yourself — the version of you before things got heavy
  • Reconnected to the small joys: laughter, awe, gratitude, spontaneity
  • Clearer about what's next, for you and this stage of your life


Intensive Options:

Regular EMDR sessions are $200/hour. Intensives are $220/hour, offered in the following formats:


2-Hour Intensive — $440
A focused, lower-commitment entry point — good for a single well-defined memory or trigger, or for experiencing the intensive format before committing to something longer.


Half-Day Intensive — 3 hours — $660
Enough time to work through a specific issue in depth without an all-day commitment.


Full-Day Intensive — 4 working hours over one day (2 hours, 1-hour break, 2 hours) — $880
Two solid working blocks with a real break in between to rest and integrate, rather than pushing straight through. Plan for approximately 5 hours total, including the break.


2-Day Intensive — 2 hours per day over 2 days — $880
Two shorter sessions on separate days, allowing overnight integration between them. A good option if you'd rather spread the work out than do it in one day.


3-Day Intensive — 2 hours per day over 3 days — $1,320
A more gradual pace across three days, giving you time to process and integrate between each session. A good fit for more layered or long-standing patterns that benefit from sustained work without back-to-back intensity.


Because this is focused, one-on-one time — not split across a caseload of weekly clients — you're getting my full attention for as long as it takes to actually move something, not just talk around it.


After an intensive, you can return to your existing weekly therapist or we can schedule occasional follow-up sessions — we'll talk through what makes sense for you.
