EMDR Intensives are great for those who are already in traditional weekly/bi-monthly therapy, who are looking for EMDR intensive work as an adjunct to their current therapy. Many folks add on EMDR intensives to do focused work based on what they and their regular therapist have decided would be helpful. Our EMDR Intensive therapists enjoy collaborating with your regular therapist to make the intensive sessions the most custom to your goals.

EMDR intensives may also be right for those who do not have time to attend therapy on a regular basis. You might find it helpful to do 1-2 EMDR intensives per month, 3-4 intensives every 3 months--or some other version of an intensive! The frequency will depend on your unique symptoms, history and goals. Your EMDR intensive therapist will conduct a full intake to assess what frequency would make sense for you. 

Therapists practicing through an intensive format do not skip any of the EMDR phases.

EMDR Phases 1-2, history taking and preparation, are all about assessing your readiness for EMDR, learning about your history/symptoms, teaching you about your nervous system and helping you learn how to regulate your nervous system through coping skills. We do not move on to trauma reprocessing until phases 1-2 are sufficiently complete. 

EMDR Intensives offer a powerful and accelerated approach to therapy. By harnessing the proven effectiveness of EMDR, Intensives can help you experience significant breakthroughs in a matter of days—rather than over months or years of weekly sessions.

Whether you're starting your healing journey or looking to deepen the work you’re already doing with a therapist, Intensives provide dedicated space to focus on specific parts of your history or experience in a concentrated, supportive environment.
