EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gold-standard modality to address trauma. It offers a wide range of flexibility in how it is applied, including the timeframes in which it is offered. It can be offered in weekly hour-long sessions, or in shorter, longer sessions known as "intensives."
Following a 2-hour extended intake, a course of treatment will be tailored according to your needs. You only commit to the intake to start with, and from there recommendations will be made for you to choose from. These recommendations will range in time well beyond a 60-minute session and up to a week of sessions dedicated solely to you for rapid healing.
If you want a breakthrough, intensives are the place to seek it out. If you have ever felt stuck in weekly sessions talking about the difficulty of the past week and realized a year has passed without significant feelings of improvement, this may be the next stop. If you know and practice the skills and still don't feel right, consider the deep dive format of an intensive. If you want a more predictable cost with long-term savings, intensives can deliver.
2-Hour Intake: $320
3 - Hour Sessions: $800
6 - Hour Sessions: $1500
5-day Week Sessions: $7000
Each hour of EMDR Intensive Therapy should be considered as impactful at least 2 hours of weekly therapy, with greater efficiency with longer intensives.
If you love your regular therapist but feel stuck because of trauma, intensives could help get provide the leap you need quickly before resuming work with your regular therapist. For people who have busy schedules and would rather take a day or so out of work rather then manage scheduling time off every week, intensives are effective in managing time, as well. If you need to do significant amounts of work in a short timeframe, an intensive format is likely the best vehicle for the change you need. And especially if you have the skills you need and don't want to be in therapy indefinitely, consider the intensive model.
An intensive is worth around double the time of a typicaly therapy session conducted at 50-60 minutes weekly. This is because of the momentum that can be maintained by extending the time past that common 50-60 minute session duration. In addition, there are less obstacles between sessions, such as triggers that must be processed before deeper work can be accessed, or even life changes such as a change/loss of income, a move, or family emergencies or expansions.
With intensives, there is no waitlist. You can book an initial free screening (15-30 minutes) and from there set up the 2-hour intake. From there, if you'd like to schedule an intensive we find a time that works for you. All you have to do is reach out!
