EMDR Intensive
Why an Intensive?
Traditional talk therapy is a long-term support system to help you work through life challenges over time. But two things keep coming up for you:
Your schedule is demanding and unpredictable, making a weekly therapy appointment feel overwhelming.
You feel like you need a lot of help, and quickly. The idea of spending months in talk therapy makes it feel impossible to ever feel better.
Beneifts of an intensive
Intensives eliminate the need for months of living with trauma symptoms and the impacts they have on daily life and general wellbeing.
Since sessions are completed over three to five days, therapy goals can be achieved in a shorter period of time.
While there is a larger upfront cost, the shorter duration of treatment over all can save money.
Paying for my intensive
Due to the extended session time insurance will not cover the full costs of a EMDR Intensive.
What is an EMDR Intensive?
EMDR Intensives are concentrated and extended sessions of EMDR therapy. Instead of the traditional weekly sessions, EMDR Intensives involve longer, uninterrupted blocks of time, often spanning multiple days. This format aims to accelerate the therapeutic process and address issues more comprehensively
