EMDR intensives

A day held entirely for one person.

An intensive is EMDR given room: a single private block, with nothing else on the calendar, so the work doesn't have to stop and restart every seven days. For the right person at the right moment, that shape suits the material better than the weekly hour does.

What it is

A different shape for the same work.

Weekly therapy has a rhythm, and for most work that rhythm is right. But trauma reprocessing has a warm-up built into every session — it takes time to arrive, drop in, and reach the edge of the material. Then the hour's up, and you close it back down for a week. An intensive removes that tax. You arrive once, go deep, and stay in the work long enough to actually move through something.

It's still EMDR — the same first-line, guideline-recommended trauma protocol, delivered by an EMDR-trained clinician and paced to your nervous system — just given room. You might use an intensive to restart a process that's stalled, or for a single contained event you'd rather not carry across three months, or because your diary is easier to clear once than to protect every week. The day is yours alone — no other clients on the calendar, nothing else competing for the attention in the room.

Formats

Half a day, or a full one.

Both formats are quoted individually and include the preparation and integration around the day itself — the price you're quoted is the whole arc, not just the hours in the chair.

Half-day

A focused block

Roughly three hours of reprocessing in one sitting, with breaks — room to work a discrete target through, or to give a stalled process somewhere to go.

Full-day

A deeper container

A full day, structured with breaks and pacing built in — for layered material, or when you want to go as far as a single day can safely take you.

We'll size it together

Whether an intensive fits at all — and if so, how long — is what the consult decides. Bring the material and we'll work out which shape it wants.

Prep & integration

The day itself is only the middle.

An intensive isn't a walk-in. Beforehand, we meet to map what we're working on, build the stabilization skills you'll lean on during the day, and confirm this is the right container for it — so the day is spent working, not warming up. That preparation is part of the package, never a surprise add-on.

Afterward, reprocessing keeps settling for days. Integration sessions are built in to help you land what moved, notice what shifted, and fold it back into ordinary life. You aren't dropped off a cliff at five o'clock — the close is as considered as the open, because the point is a change that holds, not a good day.

The investment

Quoted by scope, in writing, up front.

Intensives are quoted individually. The figure follows the format and the prep and integration around it, and you'll have it in writing before anything is scheduled. There are no additions afterward.

Like all work here, intensives are out-of-network. A superbill is provided, and depending on your plan, part of an intensive may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement — worth checking against your specific benefits. See rates →
