EMDR Intensives are a concentrated form of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy designed to provide meaningful and lasting relief from trauma-related symptoms. Unlike traditional weekly therapy, EMDR Intensives offer extended, focused sessions that allow for deeper healing, faster progress, and greater continuity in the trauma reprocessing process.

These intensives are ideal for individuals who want to engage in trauma work without the disruption of weekly appointments stretched out over many months.

Each intensive is more than EMDR reprocessing alone. Sessions are thoughtfully structured to include:

• Resourcing and nervous system regulation
   
• Somatic practices
   
• Parts work and parts mapping (IFS-informed)
   

This integrative approach supports whole-person healing by helping clients build emotional stability, understand protective responses, and ensure that trauma processing unfolds safely and effectively.

For many individuals, especially those with childhood trauma or complex PTSD (CPTSD), protective parts may understandably emerge during trauma work. When these parts are mapped, understood, and supported, the reprocessing phase becomes significantly smoother and more sustainable.

Accelerated Healing
Extended sessions allow for focused, uninterrupted processing and faster symptom reduction.

Deeper Trauma Resolution
Intensives provide the time and space needed to work through traumatic memories with greater depth and integration.

Mind-Body Regulation
Somatic and body-based techniques help calm the nervous system and restore a felt sense of safety.

Internal Harmony Through Parts Work
Parts mapping supports compassionate connection with protective and wounded aspects of the self, promoting lasting inner stability.

Personalized Treatment
Each intensive is customized to your unique history, goals, and readiness, ensuring that the process feels safe, attuned, and effective.

We begin with a comprehensive review of your history and the experiences that may still be impacting you. Together, we identify themes, triggers, and potential targets for reprocessing.

Before any trauma processing begins, we build a strong foundation of coping skills, grounding tools, and regulation practices that can be used in daily life to manage anxiety, stress, and emotional activation.

We take time to identify the protective parts of the self that developed during traumatic experiences. This step is especially essential for those with complex trauma, as protector parts often need support and trust before deeper processing can occur.

For many clients with CPTSD, this foundation phase may take two intensives, ensuring that protective responses do not interfere with the healing process once reprocessing begins.

Once preparation is complete, we move into extended EMDR reprocessing using bilateral stimulation. In many cases, we are able to complete at least one major target, often the most significant trauma that still feels unresolved.

• For single-incident trauma, two intensives may be sufficient
   
• For complex PTSD or childhood trauma, a minimum of three intensives is typically recommended
   
  • Two sessions to build foundation, resourcing, and parts mapping
     
  • One session focused on deeper reprocessing of a primary target
     

Sessions do not need to be scheduled back to back. Intensives can be spaced out over time to allow for integration and flexibility.

EMDR Intensives are offered both virtually and in person, providing trauma-informed, integrative care in a calm and supportive setting.

To schedule a four-hour EMDR Intensive, please call or text to set up a free consultation.

Spaces are limited to ensure personalized care and adequate integration time.

Mindfulness is a practice that involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment.
