EMDR Intensives in white plains, ny

Heal Trauma without Getting Overwhelmed

If you’ve ever felt like therapy sessions end just as you’re finally opening something important, you’re not alone. Traditional weekly sessions can feel slow, or like the healing work gets interrupted right when it’s gaining momentum.

EMDR Intensives offer another way. These extended, focused sessions give you the time and space to stay with the work and move through it more deeply. Many clients notice meaningful shifts in a single, immersive session.

👉 Not sure if an intensive is right for you? You can always start with a traditional EMDR session and see how it feels.

Traditional weekly therapy moves slowly.

  • After check-in and closing, only 20-30 minutes remain for EMDR reprocessing.

  • It can take weeks, even months, to work through one stressor. Daily stress often interrupts the process.

EMDR intensives are different.

  • You dedicate a focused block of time two to three hours of reprocessing in one session.

  • You go deeper. You stay focused. You make progress without losing momentum.

Because more work happens in one sitting, intensives are also cost-effective. What takes months in weekly therapy can often be resolved in half a day.

Clients often feel relief sooner, needing fewer sessions overall.

In short, EMDR intensives help you:

  • Heal faster with greater focus

  • Save time and money

  • Rely less on medications

  • Keep weekly therapy centered on present goals

You don’t wait months to feel better. With an intensive, real change comes sooner and that relief touches every part of your life.

Insurance may cover part of your EMDR Intensive package. I am in-network with Aetna and UnitedHealthcare. If you have out-of-network benefits, I use Mentaya, a service that helps you maximize reimbursement for therapy sessions.

Feel free to reach out for more information or guidance on using your insurance to support your intensive. I’m happy to help you navigate the process and make it as straightforward as possible.
