EMDR Intensives

Accelerate the process of healing through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a powerful therapeutic modality that allows the client to complete therapy in a shorter amount of time compared to traditional talk therapy. EMDR Intensives are highly concentrated sessions occurring between 3-6 hours per day over the course of several days.

The advantages of EMDR intensives encompass a more rapid alleviation of pain and trauma-related symptoms, with results potentially achievable in days rather than weeks or months. This approach allows for more extensive processing within a shorter timeframe, which can subsequently save both time and financial resources. Additionally, it provides the opportunity for targeted treatment focused on specific objectives, facilitates deeper insights, minimizes disruptions from everyday distractions, and reduces the challenges associated with maintaining a commitment to weekly counseling sessions.
