Does your weekly 55 minute therapy session not feel like enough?
Intensives allow you the proper space and time to process Trauma, negative beliefs, or the obstacle that is in your way of meeting your goals.
You are an all in type of person, and the idea of chipping away at problems does not work for you
Consulting weeks or months is not the most effective way with a packed schedule or additional therapy
Sometimes, you need help right now. You can get it, a lot of it, instead of feeling stuck for longer than you have to.
Let’s try a new form of therapy
Intensives can:
Concentrate weeks of processing with Mindfulness and Somatic skills
Fit into your busy schedule
Provide immediate relief with follow ups and support
Help you reach your goals quicker, which means less money spent
EMDR and Mindfulness Intensive FAQs
What is an EMDR and Mindfulness Intensive?It is a personalized treatment format, designed to help move you through concerns, negative thoughts, and symptoms you are currently experiencing. A focused approach that allows you to process and heal by hitting the target in a prolonged setting.
Why do an EMDR and Mindfulness Intensive?If you feel the traditional therapy model has failed you and you are ready for something different for your mental health
You have experienced a painfully traumatic situation.
You want to use it as a mental health day for yourself
What are the advantages of the Intensive?The format allows for less time, money, and waiting to be spent. All while delivering the results you are looking for. Many people choose an intensive because they’re in pain, and they don’t want to wait weeks, months, or years to find relief and improve their lives. An intensive is a more efficient, effective, and evolved way to do therapy.
Are Intensives covered by insurance?We recommend you reach out to your insurance customer service representative and ask about extended therapy reimbursement for your specific policy.
How does an Intensive work?Before any work, we meet for a Pre-Intensive meeting to set up goals, look at your life now, and see how you are currently coping with your stressor. We will identify what is in your way as well as what the Intensive can do for you.
During the Intensive itself, we will go through ways to decrease your pain while connecting more to your thoughts and feelings regarding those memories.We will go through EMDR exercises as well as mindfulness and Somatic skills to help in the moment and when we are done.
After the Intensive, we will meet for a Post- Intensive meeting, and discuss any insights or shifts, what was most meaningful to you, and ways to help you going forward.
