What is EMDR Intensive Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma, anxiety, distressing events and other emotional challenges. EMDR intensives offer a powerful alternative to traditional weekly sessions by providing focused, accelerated healing.

EMDR Intensive Therapy could be right for you if you:

• have experienced a single incident traumatic event

• are a health care workers or a first responder

• have experienced multiple traumatic or distressing life events as an adult

• have an ongoing therapist (individual or couples) and find your trauma is getting in the way of other work or healing

• are motivated to change

Frequently Asked Questions:

I’ve tried therapy before, what’s different about this?
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which focuses on gaining insight and building skills, EMDR is a structured, trauma focused therapy that uses bilateral stimulation (eye movement, tapping, alternating sounds) to help the brain reprocess distressing memories. Many people arrive in my office having tried other types of therapies in the past. With EMDR Intensive work, we are able to achieve results much faster by working together for multiple hours in a row, at times over consecutive days. These allows you to make progress and get back to your day to day life much quicker

What are the costs associated with EMDR Intensive therapy?
EMDR Intensive Therapy is $200 per hour.

Can I use Insurance?
I am contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield and they will cover the first hour of each day’s session only. Clients are responsible for the full rate after that. For all other insurances, you can reach out to your insurances directly to see if they offer reimbursement.

Can I use my HSA/FSA card?
Yes!

What are the benefits of EMDR Intensive therapy rather than weekly sessions?
With EMDR Intensive Therapy, we are able to achieve the same results as weekly therapy but, rather than stretching the process out over many months, you are able to feel better faster.
