Find Healing Faster: EMDR Intensives & Retreats

Deep Healing in Less Time—

Because You Deserve Relief Now

If traditional weekly therapy sessions feel like they barely scratch the surface, you’re not alone. Trauma healing takes time, and for many, the standard 55-minute session isn’t enough to truly dive in and process what’s needed for real breakthroughs.

That’s where EMDR Intensives and Retreats come in.

Unlike traditional therapy, EMDR intensives give you more processing time in a shorter period, allowing you to experience deeper healing and faster symptom relief. Whether you're looking for a focused, accelerated approach or a supportive adjunct to your ongoing therapy, this may be the solution you've been searching for.

Is an EMDR Intensive Right for You?

✔ You feel like weekly therapy isn't enough—your sessions end just as you’re starting to dig into the real work.

✔ You want faster relief—you don’t want to wait months (or years) to see meaningful change.

✔ You're currently working with a therapist for day-to-day support but need an intensive, trauma-focused approach to accelerate healing.

✔ You want a more cost-effective option—by reducing time spent on check-ins, coping skill reviews, and session transitions, intensives often require fewer sessions overall to achieve results.

Why Choose EMDR Intensives?

📌 Backed by Research—Studies show that intensive EMDR can lead to faster symptom reduction with similar or better results than traditional weekly EMDR.

📌 Reliable, Rapid Progress—EMDR intensives have been proven to create significant PTSD symptom relief in a very short time frame.

📌 Eliminates Therapy Interruptions—Instead of spending time each week on check-ins, crisis management, or regaining composure, intensives allow for deep, uninterrupted healing in just a few days.

🔹 Extended EMDR processing time for faster breakthroughs.
