What is an Intensive?

An EMDR Intensive Allows For Quicker Progress Than Traditional Therapy.

Like a lot of people, you might not have time for weekly therapy. What’s more, you may find that improvement happens very slowly because of how infrequent sessions are. An EMDR intensive sidesteps this hurdle by taking a break to retreat away from your day-to-day life and immerse yourself in a deeply focused healing process. Intensives are customized to your needs and can ranges from a series of half days or full days at a time.  
 

Think of it this way: when you go to the car mechanic, you don’t go in lots of short, incremental visits. You go to have your car repaired in one trip. EMDR intensives are the same way. They provide a safe container to work through your trauma and stress without any distractions interrupting the flow of treatment.

 

You get to do it all in one sitting.
 

Additionally, EMDR works more effectively than ordinary talk therapy. Instead of making you “talk” through your problems, EMDR allows you to get right to the core of your issues and rapidly resolve them. The approach also is very helpful for creatives, artists, and professionals. It can help you boost your confidence, increase your mental fitness, and be on your A-game.

Accelerate Your Healing with EMDR Intensive Therapy

Finding time for weekly therapy sessions can be challenging when life gets busy. EMDR Intensives offer a focused, efficient approach to healing by allowing you to dive deeply into your therapeutic work over a series of concentrated sessions. These sessions, customized to your needs, typically span a few half or full days, providing a peaceful space for uninterrupted healing.

Why Choose an EMDR Intensive?

EMDR Intensive Therapy is like a focused repair session for your mind and emotions, much like servicing your car in one dedicated visit. Instead of weekly, incremental therapy sessions, an intensive one gives you the time and space to work through trauma or stress in a more immersive way without the distractions of daily life.

During an EMDR Intensive, we’ll work together in a safe, focused environment to address your deepest concerns, moving through barriers quickly and effectively. Whether you're dealing with trauma anxiety or just need to boost your confidence, an intensive may be the jumpstart you’re looking for.

What Makes EMDR Intensive Therapy Different?

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) doesn’t require you to review your problems repeatedly. Instead, it works by targeting and resolving the core of your issues, helping you make significant progress faster. EMDR is widely recognized for helping those with trauma, anxiety, and low self-esteem and even for performance enhancement among creatives, athletes, and executives.

Take Your First Step Toward Transformation

If you're ready to experience rapid, focused healing, an EMDR Intensive could be your pathway. Rediscover your confidence, resilience, and well-being in a way that traditional therapy may not have made possible.

  • Is an intensive really worth all the time and money?
    If you add up all the time and money needed for weekly therapy, the cost and effort is usually greater—but the benefits take longer. An EMDR intensive is several EMDR sessions integrated into one block of time. It’s a chance to work through your trauma in a more accelerated format and get quicker results.
