EMDR Intensives

A SHORTER PATH TO HEALING

Reduce time in therapy. Increase healing.

Are you seeking a focused, transformative healing experience that supports deep change in a shorter amount of time?

EMDR Intensives offer a powerful alternative to weekly therapy by providing extended, concentrated EMDR sessions designed to help you move through areas where you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for deeper healing.

You may benefit from an EMDR Intensive if:

  • You’ve made progress in therapy but feel stuck around specific memories, patterns, or beliefs
  • Weekly therapy feels too slow or no longer fits your schedule
  • You want to break repetitive, limiting, or unhealthy thought patterns
  • You are unable or unwilling to attend ongoing weekly sessions
  • You live out of state and would like to work with me in Virginia while visiting the Richmond, VA area

EMDR Intensives help you move forward—days, not months.


Discover your healing path with EMDR therapy that moves you beyond feeling stuck!


Experience the Power of EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and integrate distressing or traumatic experiences. EMDR works by activating your brain’s natural healing capacity, allowing unresolved memories, emotions, and beliefs to be reprocessed and released.

Through targeted EMDR techniques and guided support, clients often experience:

  • Reduced emotional reactivity
  • Relief from trauma-related symptoms
  • Increased clarity and emotional regulation
  • A greater sense of empowerment and self-trust

EMDR therapy is widely used to treat PTSD and complex trauma, and it is also effective for addressing limiting beliefs related to relationships, performance, creativity, business, and life transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do EMDR Intensives cost?

Intensive sessions are billed at $225–$275 per hour. A 50% deposit is required to reserve your appointment times, with the remaining balance due on the first day of the intensive. Reduced session fee options may be available—please ask.

How long do EMDR Intensives take?

Full-day and 2–3-hour virtual intensives typically take place over 1–4 days. Sessions generally run from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with breaks built in for full-day intensives.

Each intensive is individualized based on your needs and capacity.

How do I prepare for an EMDR Intensive?

Preparation is essential. I recommend creating space before, during, and after the intensive to allow the work to integrate.

Think of this time as a personal healing retreat. Support your nervous system with rest, gentle movement, time outdoors, journaling, art, massage, or other restorative practices.

Are EMDR Intensives more cost-effective than weekly sessions?

Yes. A single full-day intensive (up to 6 hours) can equal nearly two months of weekly 45–50-minute therapy sessions.

Because intensives reduce time spent opening and closing sessions, more time is devoted to processing and healing, making the work more efficient and focused.

Will you collaborate with my therapist?

Yes. With your written consent, I am happy to coordinate care with your therapist to ensure continuity and support.

Do I need to have another therapist?

Depending on your history and treatment goals, having an ongoing therapist can be beneficial for integration and continued support. EMDR Intensives facilitate significant progress but may not replace longer-term therapy for everyone.

We will discuss the best approach during your intake session.

Do I have to live in Virginia?

No. Clients often travel to Virginia for EMDR Intensives. The concentrated format allows you to complete the work in a short time while visiting the Richmond, VA area. Travel and accommodations are not included.
