Begin your path to healing.

The traditional model of weekly psychotherapy is shifting to meet your needs.

Now more than ever, we need flexibility in how we get support.

EMDR intensives are personalized treatment plans that allow you to skip the waitlist by giving you faster access to select spots and are designed to support your preferred schedule and timeline for your treatment goals.​

Intensives offer longer sessions to get more work done. Traditional weekly sessions require time to get started with reprocessing work and about ten to fifteen minutes to end the session each time you come in. With longer sessions, we're putting you in the healing mindset and covering more ground without needing to stop and start treatment.

  • Have you been meaning to get into weekly therapy for a while now, but your schedule has been so hectic and demanding that a weekly therapy appointment feels more overwhelming than supportive?

    Are you experiencing symptoms or need help with something that's heavily affecting you right now, and you don't want to spend months in traditional therapy sessions in order to feel better?

    Perhaps you’ve had 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, or your current therapist isn't trained in EMDR therapy.

    The EMDR Intensive Experience can offer you a quicker reduction of symptoms and a more specialized treatment.

  • Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely.

    Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame.

    An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD.

    The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time because of time not spent on beginning of session check-ins, focusing on daily issues or stabilization each week, or working on stabilization after each treatment.
