what is an emdr intensive?

EMDR intensives are structured to provide multiple sessions of EMDR over a 1, 2 or 3 day period.

I offer EMDR intensives to women and moms who want to find relief from symptoms and traumatic distress more quickly than ongoing weekly EMDR sessions can provide.

EMDR intensives can be an adjunct to talk therapy if you’re working with another therapist.

Benefits of EMDR Intensives

Cost Effective

EMDR intensives are more cost effective. The up-front costs are greater, but EMDR intensives provide the equivalent of weeks or months of ongoing weekly therapy.
No More Weekly Sessions

Intensive sessions are completed in 1, 2 or 3 days. This reduces the need to find childcare or arrange your schedule around therapy every week.
Get Results More Quickly

Process through your traumas or distressing experiences in a shorter period of time; achieve your therapy goals and feel more settled, present and connected more quickly.

EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapy developed to help people heal from the symptoms and distress caused by traumatic or disturbing life experiences. EMDR has been extensively researched and found to be effective for the treatment of PTSD and other effects of trauma.
EMDR is used to treat many kinds of trauma and PTSD. In my practice I use EMDR therapy to:
Process and heal past traumas (childhood traumas, attachment wounds, abuse and neglect
Alleviate the distress/PTSD symptoms from previous pregnancy & birth related traumas
Help prepare you for labor, deliver, fertility treatment and postpartum life
Diminish fears/phobias of pregnancy and birth
Teach you skills to build up your inner strengths, calm your body and mind and keep you grounded in the present.
Yes, EMDR has been shown to be an effective treatment for depression by addressing negative thoughts and beliefs, painful emotions, and other symptoms of depression that can cause you to feel overwhelmed, stuck or hopeless.
