EMDR Intensives

A faster approach to healing

  • I have discovered that one of the quickest and most effective ways to overcome our struggles and reduce/eliminate symptoms is through EMDR Intensive Therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as well as depression and anxiety. EMDR helps us process negative feelings and change the way we think about ourselves and our memories. It literally rewires our brain. Because of the powerful healing effect of EMDR therapy, Intensives can produce faster results than weekly sessions using standard talk therapy techniques.

  • Cost effective: Intensives are highly concentrated and highly focused, sometimes requiring less time and overall cost to the client.

  • No more weekly appointments. Spend your time on other pursuits.

  • Make a lasting change. Take care of your mind and body.

FAQs

    • Full-day intensives = $1,000 per day

    • Half-day intensives = $500 per day

    • A 50% deposit will be required to confirm your appointment times

    • The remaining 50% will be paid on the last day of the EMDR Intensive

    • Intensives are individualized to the client. We will develop a plan based on our phone consultation and the goals you have in mind. I may ask you to fill out a brief questionnaire ahead of time to most effectively utilize our time.

    • Full day intensives take between 1-3 days and are blocked at 8 hours per day. Typically, sessions will begin at 9:00am and end at 5:00pm, with up to four 90-minute therapy sessions spread throughout the day with intentional breaks in between.

    • Half day intensives are blocked at 4 hours with start times in the morning or the afternoon.

  • Intensives are not for everyone and timing matters. A thorough assessment of a potential client’s readiness for intensive work is provided in our free phone consultation. 

  • It depends - the focus of an intensive is to desensitize and reprocess a particular target, or cluster, to enable significant relief and healing. Many clients can complete an intensive and return to their lives ready to move forward. Some clients will need to schedule several intensives to fully process and heal their stories. In these cases a weekly therapist to help manage things between Intensives may be recommended or required.

  • First, schedule a free initial phone consultation (use the Request Appointment button at the bottom of the page). Consultations are NOT therapy - they are an exploration to see if an intensive is a good fit for you.

  • Treat the days surrounding an intensive session like a personal retreat. This is a rare time for clients to really focus on healing themselves. Schedule activities you enjoy around your sessions such as massages, yoga, walking, and sleep!

  • All intensives take place in person at my office in Monument, Colorado.

  • At this time, insurance companies will only cover a small portion of the cost.

  • Intensives can be utilized to work on very specific parts of a client’s history and afterwards, the client returns to the care of their weekly therapist.  If you currently have a therapist, please feel free to discuss this option with them and I am happy to collaborate.

  • Since the work is concentrated into several days, rather than an ongoing weekly basis, clients can travel from anywhere in the world for several days to participate in an intensive.
