EMDR Intensives

An EMDR Intensive offers you uninterrupted, focused, dedicated, one-on-one time to delve deeply into the issues that are currently keeping you from living your most abundant and connected life.

In an EMDR Intensive, you and I will create a treatment plan together and then immerse ourselves in the profound work of EMDR therapy for a full 1-2 days. During our time together, we will address various challenges that may be holding you back, whether it’s a recent trauma, a lingering past trauma that continues to haunt you, ongoing stress that weighs you down, anxiety that restricts you, or any other obstacle that hinders your journey towards growth and fulfillment.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that facilitates healing by processing traumatic experiences and changing negative beliefs to alleviate distress and promote emotional well-being. To learn more about EMDR, click here.

1. Is coping with recent trauma. When you've experienced a recent traumatic event, its effects can disrupt your daily life and well-being. An EMDR Intensive provides an immediate and supportive approach to address your symptoms and guide you towards reclaiming a fulfilling and vibrant life.

2. Has limited availability for weekly therapy. If your schedule or commitments make it challenging to engage in regular weekly therapy sessions, an EMDR Intensive offers a concentrated period of focused work that accommodates your time constraints.

Wondering if this is for you?

An EMDR Intensive is for someone who:

3. Is seeking faster results. An EMDR Intensive could be the best choice for someone who is hoping to accelerate their healing journey and reduce symptoms more quickly. By working intensively, more material can be processed, and significant progress can be achieved in a shorter period.

4. Wishes to focus their work on specific issues. If you have specific issues or traumas that you wish to address comprehensively and in-depth, an EMDR Intensive allows for a concentrated exploration of those areas, facilitating profound transformation and growth.

Why would I want to do an EMDR Intensive?

Let me count the ways…  Here are a few benefits of working with me during an EMDR Intensive.

  1. Feel Better Now. If you find yourself struggling to regulate your emotions or thoughts, impeding your ability to live your life fully, an EMDR Intensive can help you to experience relief from this distress as soon as possible. With an EMDR Intensive, you don't have to wait for weeks or months to see improvements. The focused approach enables you to feel better now, allowing you to reclaim your life and find greater emotional stability and well-being.

  2. Fewer Hours in the Therapy Chair. With an EMDR Intensive, you can achieve significant results in fewer hours spent in the therapy chair. Unlike traditional talk therapy, where sessions are spread out over time, our intensive format eliminates unnecessary breaks and interruptions. By maintaining a consistent focus on your healing journey, you can maximize the impact of each therapy hour, allowing for more efficient progress towards your goals.

  3. Three Months of Therapy in Two Days. Imagine condensing three months of therapy into just two days. With an EMDR Intensive, you'll receive a concentrated dose of therapy, amounting to 12 hours of therapeutic work over the course of two days. This condensed timeframe allows you to experience the equivalent of 12 weeks of therapy in a single intensive, accelerating your healing process and bringing about transformative change more rapidly.

  4. Location Flexibility. You don't have to reside in Seattle or even in the same state to benefit from the EMDR Intensive program. I am able to work with individuals from all states, allowing you to access transformative therapy regardless of your location. If you choose to travel to my office in Seattle, I am happy to help you find a lovely place to rest your head at night during your stay.

What is an EMDR Intensive?

Here are some A’s to your Q’s

  • • The cost of an intensive varies depending on the duration of our sessions. For a full day comprising 6 hours of therapy, the fee is $1250. I charge on a half-day basis, so if our planned 2-day intensive is completed in 1 ½ days, the cost would be $1250 plus $625.

    • By choosing to work with me for an Intensive, you benefit from a reduced rate compared to my standard hourly fee.

    • To secure your Intensive booking, a non-refundable deposit of half the total fee is required. The remaining balance will be due upon completion of the intensive.

  • • The duration of an EMDR Intensive can vary based on your specific needs and goals. I offer 1-2 day intensives with the option to book a future intensive if you would like to spend more time on your healing journey.

    • I offer Intensives on Fridays and Saturdays (though only Saturdays for a 2-day Intensive).

  • • The EMDR Intensive will take place in my office in the Columbia City neighborhood in South Seattle, Washington.

    • If you will be travelling to Seattle for the Intensive, I will work with you to find a comfortable place to stay such as an AirBnb or VRBO.

  • • Getting started with an EMDR Intensive is simple. Fill in the contact form on my website, and I will reach out to you promptly.

    • We will schedule a time to have a conversation about your hopes and expectations for the intensive. Based on that discussion, we will collaboratively determine the best way to proceed and design a personalized plan that suits your needs.

Intensives may not be suitable for everyone. Your natural healing process and its timing are crucial for bringing about transformation. Together, we will determine the best treatment approach during the free initial consultation, considering your individual needs and circumstances.
