Deep Healing,
Accelerated.
EMDR Intensives offer the uninterrupted time and focused space your nervous system needs — so you can move through what's been stuck without stretching it across months of weekly appointments.
Schedule a Free ConsultationReady to shift something now — not six months from now.
EMDR Intensives are tailored for specific goals, limiting beliefs, life events, or long-held patterns that feel ready to move. This accelerated format lets you dedicate real time and focused energy to what matters most — so healing doesn't have to wait for a weekly opening in the calendar.
This might be a good fit when:
- A weekly rhythm is hard to maintain due to work, travel, or caregiving
- On a waitlist and not wanting to wait months to begin real work
- Looking to complement ongoing therapy with a focused, accelerated push
- Wanting concentrated support moving through an obstacle or towards a specific goal
- Feels like circling the same material in therapy without real breakthrough
- A specific event, memory, or trauma that's ready to be processed fully
- A limiting belief about worth, capability, or safety that keeps resurfacing and is holding you back from what you know is possible
- A fear, phobia, or chronic pattern that's been narrowing life
People who seek out intensives are often carrying something that hasn't resolved on its own — emotions that feel bigger than the moment, a persistent inner critic chipping away at self-confidence and worth, or a sense that their reactions are coming from somewhere older than the present situation. It might show up emotionally as anxiety or depression. It might also show up in the body as chronic tension, pain, or somatic symptoms tied to stress or overwhelm. For some, it surfaces at night — in nightmares, hypervigilance, or the inability to feel safe enough to truly rest. Whatever form it takes, there's a readiness to meet it, and to move through it.
The arc of an intensive is different — by design.
A 50-minute weekly session is so valuable for many reasons. However, it does require time to arrive, warm up, and then close down before the hour is gone. An intensive is built differently. With a longer arc across each session, the brain and nervous system have time to settle in, deepen the processing, and begin building new positive neural pathways — rather than stopping just as real movement begins.
This is what makes intensives feel different from even good weekly therapy. The work has room to complete itself. Each session builds on the last, and integration happens within the container rather than across weeks of waiting. It is, in every sense, an investment in healing.
Pre-Intensive Session
We start with a 90-minute pre-intensive session to map your goals, explore your history, and identify what you most want to shift. This is also where we establish resources and prepare your nervous system so that when the intensive begins, you're grounded and ready to go deep.
Intensive Day(s)
Intensive days run in half-day blocks — enough time to settle in, move through material fully, and integrate what's shifting before we close. Sessions weave together EMDR reprocessing, somatic support, and resourcing, all tailored to what your system needs that day. One intensive day is often enough for a specific target; more complex histories may span two or three days.
Post-Intensive Session
We close with a 90-minute post-intensive session to reflect on what shifted, honor what emerged, and map a path forward. Whether you return to your existing therapist, continue with occasional sessions, or simply carry the integration forward on your own — you'll leave with clarity about next steps.
EMDR + Somatics —
woven together.
As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and EMDR specialist, I don't do EMDR in isolation. Our intensive work integrates body-based awareness and Somatic Experiencing with EMDR — so we're not just processing memories, we're helping your whole system feel safe enough to actually change.
With more than two decades of experience in trauma-informed care, I work with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, identity transitions, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from years of holding too much. The intensive format allows me to meet you where you are and stay with you long enough for something real to shift.
An accelerated path — and a more efficient one.
Healing is worth investing in. When you look at the actual time spent in deep processing, the intensive format offers something that weekly sessions simply can't — sustained, uninterrupted momentum. Here's how the two compare.
Three hours of uninterrupted EMDR reprocessing is the equivalent of what most people experience across many months of weekly therapy — with the added benefit that your nervous system never has to stop, reset, and find its way back in. The work gets to go all the way.
Payment is due at time of service. Intensives are not billed through insurance, though a superbill can be provided for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Extended intensive packages are discussed during your free consultation.
FAQs
No. The pre-intensive session includes preparation and stabilization work so you feel grounded and ready before we begin processing. We won't move into the intensive until your nervous system is resourced and prepared.
Yes — intensives work beautifully as an adjunct to ongoing therapy. Many clients bring the shifts from an intensive back into their regular work. I'm happy to coordinate with your provider if that feels supportive.
Yes. Intensives are available both in-person in Seattle and virtually throughout California and Washington State.
The best way to find out is through a free 20-minute consultation. We'll talk through what you're working on, whether the intensive format makes sense, and what a package could look like for your specific goals.
The starting package of $2,100 includes your pre-intensive session (90 min), your intensive processing day(s) (3 hours, flexible across one or two days), and your post-intensive integration session (90 min). Extended packages for more complex work are available and discussed at consultation.
