EMDR and Therapy Intensives
EMDR Intensives are short-term, targeted sessions to help clients maximize therapeutic impact and healing while minimizing the financial investment in the long-term. Sessions are customized for the client and can involve longer or more frequent sessions in a short period of time. Intensive therapy sessions can also be designed for those individuals who have a non-trauma targeted goal in mind and would like to develop skills and reduce distress more quickly.
EMDR Intensive
EMDR Intensive sessions are geared toward individuals wishing to work through either single incident or complex trauma issues.
Other Therapy Intensives
Intensive sessions can also be used for other types of therapy or targeted issues an individual wants to address in the short-term. Sessions are geared toward skill development and distress reduction/management.
How Does It Work?
Anyone interested in participating in either an EMDR intensive or other therapeutic intensive will need to participate in an initial intake session to gather history and make a plan for the process, interventions, and goals for treatment. An estimated duration of treatment will be discussed and frequency and length of treatment sessions will be decided with client. However, goals and duration, frequency, length, etc. may be adjusted at therapist and client discretion. The client will also participate in a follow-up session approximately two weeks after the last appointment to assess progress and address any residual symptoms.
What is the Financial Investment?
The financial investment is dependent on the length of treatment sessions. The client will be provided options for scheduling appointments with the financial investment indicated and a Good Faith Estimate will also be provided.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. EMDR is very useful for helping us process and reprogram our negative beliefs about ourselves that hinder our ability to function the way we’d ideally like to.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and it was initially developed as an intervention to reduce the distress and physical symptoms people experience as a result of a traumatic experience. It incorporates both physical (or somatic) trauma healing, as well as cognitive rewiring of our brains to interact with the memory differently. It’s not magic, and it can be really intense, but it is a powerful tool to help people heal from many types of single incident and chronic trauma.
