Frequently asked questions

Concentrated time to do the work that weekly sessions often only touch. We stay with what matters instead of stopping when the hour ends.

Weekly sessions are 60 minutes. Intensives give more uninterrupted time so we can go deeper without the stop-and-start of a standard schedule.

The Focus Intensive is one 3-hour EMDR block, with a 90-minute prep session and a 60-minute integration session. The Depth Intensive is two 3-hour EMDR blocks, with a 90-minute prep session and a 90-minute integration session. Prep is scheduled a few days before the intensive, and integration a few days after.

Everyone's healing looks different, so there isn't a set number. It depends on what you're working on, your history, and how you respond to EMDR. For one specific memory or event, some clients notice changes within a few sessions. For more complex or long-term trauma, people often need more time. Intensives fit concentrated work into one or two 3-hour EMDR blocks, and some clients add follow-up sessions afterward. During your free 20-minute consultation, we'll talk about your goals and which option makes the most sense for you. We'll also check in on your progress together along the way.

EMDR is one of the most studied therapies for trauma, and research on intensive formats is growing. Many people find that longer, concentrated time lets them go deeper than weekly sessions allow. Results are different for everyone, and no therapy can promise an outcome. The consult is where we look at whether an intensive fits what you are carrying, or whether weekly EMDR therapy is a better start.

Yes. What you share in sessions is protected health information under HIPAA and is kept private, with the few exceptions the law requires, such as a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, or suspected abuse of a child or vulnerable adult. Clinical forms are completed in the secure client portal, never through the public website form or email.

A non-refundable $500 deposit secures your intensive dates, and the remaining balance is due 14 days before your prep session. With 14 or more days' notice you can reschedule once at no cost. Read the full Deposit and Cancellation Policy.
