Focused Therapy. Dedicated Time for Deeper Healing.
EMDR Intensives provide a focused, intentional space to work through trauma and painful life experiences with more dedicated time and support than traditional weekly sessions. Is an EMDR Intensive right for you?
- Do you feel like weekly therapy sessions end just as you’re getting to the deeper work?
- Are you struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm that continues to affect your daily life?
- Do painful experiences from your past or present continue to affect your relationships, self-worth, or the way you see yourself?
- Are you ready to have more dedicated time to work through trauma without feeling rushed by a traditional therapy session?
- Do you feel stuck in patterns you continue to repeat and haven’t been able to fully move through emotionally?
If any of these sound familiar, an EMDR Intensive may be the next best step for you.
In our time together, healing from trauma will be our main focus but based on the package you choose and your goals, additional topics may include:
Domestic violence and abusive relationships
Divorce, separation, betrayal, and relationship trauma
Trauma related to chronic illness or major life changes
First responder trauma and occupational stress
Attachment wounds and family-of-origin patterns
Boundary struggles and people-pleasing
Low self-worth and critical inner voices
Emotional stuck points
Instead of stopping in session just as the work gets deep, EMDR Intensives allow you to stay with the healing process — building true momentum toward lasting change.
What are EMDR Intensives?
- Deeper healing: EMDR Intensives allow you to dive deep into your healing and explore your issues in more detail without any rush.
Focused progress: EMDR Intensives provide extended time to work toward your therapeutic goals with greater continuity than traditional weekly sessions.
- More support: Extended time with your therapist helps you process, connect, and heal at a deeper level.
EMDR Intensives offer a focused approach that provides more dedicated time for therapeutic work than traditional weekly sessions. This extended format can allow clients to work more deeply toward their individual treatment goals.
How Do EMDR Intensives Work?
When you combine the focused structure of an intensive with the powerful healing method of EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), you create the opportunity for lasting transformation.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to help your brain reprocess painful memories and beliefs — allowing emotional wounds to heal.
Rather than stopping just as the work begins to deepen, the extended format provides more time to stay with the therapeutic process. For some clients, this concentrated approach can support meaningful progress without being limited to a traditional 50-minute session.
You’re investing in dedicated time and space to focus intentionally on your healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can benefit from an EMDR Intensive?
Anyone seeking faster, focused support can benefit.
If you’re struggling with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or feeling stuck in your healing journey, an intensive can be a powerful tool for change.
Can I book an intensive even if I have another therapist?
Yes!
An EMDR intensive can be an excellent supportive addition to the therapy work you’re already doing.
We can collaborate with your current therapist (if you wish) to ensure the intensive complements your broader treatment goals.
Can insurance cover the cost of an intensive?
No, unfortunately, EMDR Intensives are self-pay only. Pricing can be found here.
Insurance companies do not currently cover the extended format of EMDR Intensives.
What days are intensives available?
We schedule intensives based on mutual availability.
Typically, EMDR Intensives are offered during either a morning block (11 a.m. – 2 p.m.) or an afternoon block (1 p.m. – 4 p.m.).
How do I schedule an intensive?
The first step is a free 10 – 15 minute phone consultation to see if an EMDR Intensive is a good fit for your needs.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule an intake appointment first.
After your intake, we’ll plan your intensive session and schedule a follow-up session for continued support afterward.
What if I can’t work through everything in one EMDR Intensive? Can I book more?
Absolutely!
You are welcome to book multiple EMDR Intensives spaced according to your needs, whether that’s only one time, once a year, every few months, or even more frequently depending on your goals.
I don’t live in Georgia. Can I still schedule an intensive?
Yes! EMDR Intensives are available in person at my Georgia office or virtually for clients who are physically located in Georgia at the time of their session. If you live outside of Georgia, you are welcome to travel to my office for an in-person EMDR Intensive.
Because I am licensed in Georgia, I am unable to provide virtual sessions to clients who are physically located outside of Georgia.
If you’re traveling from out of state for your intensive, I’m happy to provide local hotel recommendations.
Is there a sliding fee scale for intensives?
No, a sliding scale is not available for EMDR Intensives.
However, payment plans or Afterpay are both available to make the investment more manageable with interest-free payments.
How do I prepare for my intensive?
- You’ll receive a custom workbook that you’ll need to complete before your intensive.
- Give yourself time and space to reflect on it.
- We also recommend that you get adequate rest the night before and keep your schedule clear for recovery afterward.
- Water and snacks will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring anything that helps you feel comfortable and grounded (a blanket, journal, tea, etc.).
What should I expect during the EMDR Intensive?
You’ll spend focused time working one-on-one with your therapist in a safe, supportive environment.
Sessions may include EMDR, grounding exercises, parts work (IFS), mindfulness, and time for reflection.
The pace is guided by your needs.
This is your space to explore deeply, move through stuck points, and experience healing without interruption.
What happens after the EMDR Intensive is complete?
You’ll have a follow-up session to check in, process what came up, and determine next steps.
From there, we may continue meeting weekly, schedule another EMDR Intensive, or connect you back with your current therapist — whichever path feels best for your ongoing growth and support.
