EMDR Intensives

... offering intensive therapy for clients wanting relief & results faster than the weekly session model allows.

How is an EMDR Intensive different than regular EMDR?

Instead of coming in weekly for several weeks or months, an EMDR Intensive speeds up the whole process by condensing the sessions into a longer half day. There’s no stopping and starting, due to shorter session lengths. They are personalized treatment plans that allow you to skip the waitlist by giving you faster access to select spots for scheduling, and are designed to support your preferred schedule and timeline for your treatment goals.

Who is an EMDR Intensive for?

  • It’s for those who want more relief, faster. Some people just prefer to work through more material in a shorter amount of time.

  • It’s also a great option for those who have busy, inconsistent schedules that cannot commit to weekly therapy.

Your Intensive Includes:

  • Pre-consultation interview to assess for candidacy, as well as target unpleasant beliefs, body sensations, emotions, or images from which you are seeking relief.

  • The option of a personalized treatment workbook, which allows you to work on your treatment goals before, during, and after our intensive sessions.

  • A customized treatment program with targeted treatment goals. Therapy with EMDR Certified Therapist, Julie Kraai, is done either in person or virtually, often for 2-6 sessions (3-4 hours each session). 

  • Post-treatment interview to assess and support your adaptation to positive changes from treatment.

When can I schedule?

  • Intensives are typically scheduled Fridays or Saturdays (8am/9am - 12pm/1p), and Monday afternoons (1pm - 4pm).

“Perhaps the greatest joy we have as EMDR therapists is to hear our patients, when they have finished reprocessing their memories, tell us things like… “It’s over. Now it’s distant. It’s in the past.” And when they come back in the following sessions they say: “I remember, but it doesn’t bother me anymore.””
