Do You Want to Feel Better, Faster?

If you're looking to complement traditional talk therapy with EMDR, or prefer to progress through EMDR more quickly than the typical one-hour weekly session, our intensives provide an effective solution. Regardless of the type of trauma you've experienced or how it has affected you, EMDR can help regulate your nervous system, alleviate PTSD symptoms, and increase resilience, helping you feel better, faster.

What are EMDR Intensives?

EMDR is a trauma therapy and PTSD treatment developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro. To learn more about the treatment and how it works, refer to our EMDR page! EMDR Intensives are therapy sessions that are longer than the average 55-minute session. Embodied Wellness, PLLC offers intensives to meet your needs: 90-minute and half day (3-hour) intensives and full day (6- hour) intensives.

  • You’re super busy!: Sometimes it’s not possible to fit a weekly online therapy appointment in your busy schedule. It can be more effective to commit to a few hours in the morning or afternoon.

  • Cost-effective: It might feel overwhelming to see the upfront cost of an EMDR. When you consider the cost of weekly online therapy over a year, intensives may be less expensive. There can also be cost of delaying your trauma treatment such as missed hours at work, problems in your relationships and feeling down.

  • You want to feel better, faster: Maybe you have been in weekly therapy and want to relieve trauma symptoms faster.

What’s Included in an EMDR Intensive?

EMDR intensives are personalized to YOU and your needs. All intensives will include the following:

Comprehensive Intake

At Embodied Wellness, PLLC, your treatment will start with a comprehensive intake so you are prepared and ready for EMDR. Our EMDR therapists carefully assess your needs through a culturally sensitive and trauma informed lens. We utilize assessments to assess for dissociation and any other symptoms that might interfere with trauma reprocessing.

Consultation with Professionals

Trauma treatment cannot be not done in isolation. We believe that in order to heal from trauma, you often need support from other professionals such as therapists, doctors, body workers, etc. As a part of the intensive process, we will collaborate with the other providers on your team to ensure you are receiving the best care.

Personalized Treatment

EMDR intensives are not a one-size-fits all model. Together through the assessment process and by discussing your goals, we identify the length of EMDR intensive that fits best for you. At Embodied Wellness, PLLC, we offer 90 minute, 3 hour (half day) and 6 hour (full day) intensives. All intensives include short breaks and longer intensives include a break for food and nourishment. Depending on your symptoms and goals, we recommend participating in at least 2-3 full days of EMDR intensives to get your desired results. Your EMDR intensive can be customized based on length and how many you have. We only offer intensives once a week due to the time the body and mind needs to process in between sessions.
