If you’ve done the talking… If you understand why you are the way you are… and your body still reacts like the past is happening right now. EMDR intensives are designed to help your nervous system reprocess what talking alone can’t reach.
This is not about reliving trauma. It’s about helping your brain and body file it correctly, so the past stops interrupting the present.


An EMDR intensive is a concentrated, trauma-focused therapy experience that allows for deeper processing in a shorter timeframe than traditional weekly sessions.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) supports your brain in doing what overwhelming experiences often interrupt: processing and storing memories in a way that no longer feels dangerous or activating.
Best for:
We assess readiness together in the pre-session to ensure pacing and emotional safety.
The EMDR intensive is intentionally structured to support your nervous system before, during, and after deep trauma processing. Rather than compressing EMDR into one long appointment and sending you back into life without support, this structure creates a contained, ethical, and trauma-responsive arc of care.
The 90-minute pre-session is where we slow things down before going deep. This phase ensures that the work is intentional and safe, rather than rushed or reactive. The 4-hour intensive is the heart of the experience, but it is not four hours of nonstop processing. When we remove the pressure of a traditional time limit, we allow your system the space it needs to process rather than perform. The after care and integration session, examines and reflects on the work we did and examine how the results allowed you to show up in your life.


Preparedness & Readiness

Processing With Regulation

Integration & Aftercare

Trauma doesn’t always unfold neatly inside 50 minutes. Intensives allow us to stay with the work long enough for meaningful shifts to occur, without leaving you holding it alone for a weeks at a time.
Emotional flashbacks, body memories, nervous system activation.
Profound grief, identity grief, complicated emotions that linger.
Attachment injuries, boundary struggles, repeated relationship patters.
The "strong one" fatigue, perfectionism, chronic stress load.
People please. over giving, internal criticism, shame cycles.
A memory, season, relationship, or event that still hijacks the present.
This EMDR intensive is a high-touch, thoughtfully structured experience designed to support deep, focused healing with care before, during, and after the work.
This structure ensures that you are not rushed into deep work—and not left holding it alone afterward.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed therapy approach that helps the brain and body process experiences that were too overwhelming to fully integrate at the time they occurred.
When something distressing happens, the nervous system can get “stuck” in survival mode. Even long after the event is over, the body may continue to react as if the danger is still present—through anxiety, emotional reactivity, intrusive memories, or feeling easily overwhelmed.
EMDR works by supporting the brain’s natural healing process so those memories can be reprocessed and stored in a way that no longer feels activating or unsafe.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not rely on retelling your story over and over.
Instead, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or tones) to help the brain reprocess distressing memories while staying grounded in the present.
This allows:
You are not reliving the trauma—you are reprocessing it with support, so it no longer has the same hold on you.
EMDR is effective for:
Many clients say EMDR helps their body finally “catch up” to what they already know intellectually.
