EMDR Intensives

What is EMDR Intensive Therapy?

EMDR Intensives are uninterrupted, focused, and immersive therapy sessions designed to accelerate your healing journey. Instead of spreading therapy out over weeks or months, intensives condense the process into 1–3 days of concentrated work. This format allows us to address recent traumas, unresolved past experiences, stress, anxiety, and more — all within a shorter time frame.

Who Can Benefit from EMDR Intensives?

Intensives may be a good fit if you:

  • Want faster results and accelerated healing.

  • Have a busy schedule, are returning to school, or work in a profession that makes weekly therapy difficult.

  • Are coping with recent trauma and need immediate support.

  • Prefer to focus deeply on a specific issue or trauma while continuing with your current talk therapist.

Investment

EMDR Intensives are offered online in 3-hour increments, up to 6 hours per day, over 1–3 days. The cost is $600 per 3-hour session. I charge on a half-day basis, so if a planned 2-day program finishes in 1½ days, you’ll only pay for 3 sessions.

A reservation deposit of 50% of the estimated total is due at booking, with the remaining balance due upon completion. A Good Faith Estimate is available when scheduling or upon request.

Why Choose an EMDR Intensive?

Intensive therapy can be more cost-effective and time-efficient than weekly sessions.

Weekly therapy often includes:

  • 10–15 minutes checking in

  • 20–30 minutes of EMDR processing

  • 10–15 minutes closing

This means it could take a month (around $1,000) to address one stressor — and with life’s interruptions, shifting priorities, or new concerns, resolution may take several months.

In an EMDR intensive, you still have a brief check-in and closing, but spend 160–210 minutes in uninterrupted EMDR processing. This concentrated work allows you to resolve one or even multiple issues in a single day, often costing $600–$1,200 total — accomplishing in hours what might otherwise take weeks or months.

Bottom line: EMDR Intensives give you the opportunity to make significant progress in less time, with less overall cost.
