EMDR Individual Intensive

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Intensive

EMDR INDIVIDUAL INTENSIVE

An EMDR individual intensive is an accelerated form of EMDR Therapy for people who want to focus on healing in order to achieve faster and lasting results. This condensed format of therapy can remove weeks, months, and years of living with unpleasant symptoms.

An EMDR Intensive typically entails 4-7 hour sessions per day for 1-5 consecutive days. While this may sound like a lot, EMDR Therapy is different than traditional talk psychotherapy. In fact, most people are delighted and surprised by how quickly the time passes.

Achieve faster and lasting results.

An experienced and highly trained EMDR clinician guides individuals through the healing process, helping transform distressing or disturbing experiences into neutral ones. Negative self-beliefs shift into positive ones, while emotional and physical discomfort fades, bringing clarity and relief. With the clinician’s expertise in EMDR therapy and the brain’s natural ability to heal, an intensive format allows for significantly deeper processing and resolution compared to traditional week-to-week therapy sessions.

The brain & body align, believing & feeling relief from all uncomfortable symptoms.

Intensives are offered in half-day, 1-day, 3-day, or 5-day formats, and will be scheduled based on individual needs.

Every participant undergoes a pre-intensive consultation and assessment prior to starting an EMDR intensive. During the consultation, we will explore your needs and determine whether an intensive is an appropriate and beneficial option. If it is, a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted to assess your current circumstances and readiness for intensive work.

Should an intensive not be the best fit, alternative treatment recommendations will be provided to better meet your needs.

All clients will receive a workbook or journal along with writing materials. Additional resources and literature may be recommended based on your unique needs.

Yes, every intensive includes a post-intensive consultation to review your progress and offer tailored recommendations for ongoing support.

If additional concerns arise after the post-intensive consultation, feel free to reach out via phone or email, and we can schedule a follow-up.

  • A full-day intensive (7 hours, including lunch and breaks) costs $1,200.
  • A half-day intensive costs $600.
  • A 50% deposit is required to confirm your reservation, with the remaining balance due on the last day of the intensive.
  • Cash, checks, HSA, FSA and all major credit cards are accepted.
Rather than being on the weekly payment plan of traditional therapy treatment, you will be investing a larger amount of money up front. In the long run, Intensives are more cost effective because the therapy is concentrated and highly focused. The work is much more efficient and in the end requires less session time and less cost overall.

When I reserve time for your intensive, I dedicate the a large block of time or an entire day to working with you. If you need to reschedule, please contact me as soon as possible—we’ll work together to find a new date, and your deposit or payment will remain unaffected.

If you need to cancel your intensive entirely:

  • For cancellations made more than 30 days before your scheduled date, any deposit paid will be refunded, minus a 50% scheduling fee.
  • For cancellations made within 30 days of your scheduled date, deposits are fully non-refundable.

This policy helps ensure fairness and allows me to accommodate others seeking care. Thank you for your understanding.

Although my practice is based in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, clients are welcome to travel from anywhere in the world to attend an intensive. If you plan to travel, I am happy to provide detailed information on local accommodations, transportation options, nearby airports, and the Gettysburg area to help with your planning.

Additionally, I am licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey.

Clients located in these states may be eligible for virtual intensive sessions. While in-person sessions are typically preferred, virtual intensives can be an effective alternative for some individuals depending on their needs and circumstances.
