EMDR Intensives
Are you longing to feel lighter, more connected to yourself, and more at ease in your daily life? Sometimes, 50-60 minute therapy sessions aren’t quite enough to get to the deeper layers of healing. If you’ve been carrying the weight of old trauma, overwhelming emotions, or patterns that feel hard to change, EMDR intensive sessions, which are 2-3 hours, might offer you the space and support you’ve been looking for.
What Are EMDR Intensives?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) intensives are extended therapy sessions, lasting 2-4 hours, designed to create a deeper, more focused space for healing. These longer sessions allow us to slow down and really tune into your goals, without the pressure of the clock.
I integrate somatic practices and parts work into EMDR intensives. This gentle, holistic approach helps you not only process stuck memories but also connect with your body’s wisdom and the different parts of yourself. Together, we’ll work toward creating more harmony within, so you can feel truly grounded and whole.
Think of it as a healing retreat for your mind, body, and nervous system—a chance to step away from life’s busyness, release what you no longer need to carry, and focus fully on your inner well-being.
Who Are EMDR Intensives For?
An EMDR intensive might be a good fit if you:
Feel stuck or frustrated in your healing journey and want to go deeper.
Struggle with anxiety, trauma, or overwhelming memories.
Want to work through a specific event, recurring trigger, or challenging pattern.
Prefer a less frequent, more focused therapy schedule to fit your life.
Are ready to prioritize your healing in a safe, supportive environment.
Some people choose to schedule intensives at a regular but less frequent cadence, finding this approach better suits their lifestyle or goals. Whether you’re new to EMDR or have experience with it, we’ll design your session together, ensuring it reflects your needs, goals, and comfort level. Whether you’re working on one specific issue or looking for deeper clarity, your experience will be unique to you.
What to Expect in an EMDR Intensive Session
Before your session, we’ll have a free consultation to talk about your goals and ensure this approach feels like a good fit. I’ll also provide simple ways to prepare, like grounding practices and tips for self-care.
During the session, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and comfortable. I’ll guide you through EMDR techniques, incorporating somatic and IFS parts work to help you gently process stuck emotions, memories, and sensations. You’ll have plenty of space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself as we go.
Afterward, I’ll share resources and ideas to help you integrate what we’ve worked on. This might involve identifying a simple routine for you to do at home, like journaling prompts, movement, meditation, or other forms of self care and integration. We design everything collaboratively so that it feels like a right fit for your needs.
Why Choose an Intensive Approach?
Life can be so full, and it’s not always easy to fit weekly therapy into your schedule. EMDR intensives offer an alternative that allows you to:
Create space for deep, uninterrupted healing.
Make noticeable progress in just one or a few sessions.
Walk away with tools and insights you can continue to use.
Many clients describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves after just one intensive session. It’s a chance to give yourself the care and attention you truly deserve.
Logistics and Practical Details

90 minute session: 260$

A Warm, Trauma-Informed Approach
Healing can feel vulnerable, and it’s so important to feel safe and supported along the way. By weaving somatic work and parts work into EMDR, we can help you not only release old pain but also reconnect with the deeper, wiser parts of yourself and come away feeling more resourced, lighter, and connected to yourself.
