Deep healing in less time
EMDR Intensives
Why Choose an EMDR Intensive?
Faster Progress: Make real breakthroughs in a single intensive session.
Deeper Focus: Spend 3 hours on EMDR reprocessing without interruptions.
Continuity & Flow: Stay immersed in the work rather than starting and stopping week to week.
Convenience & Flexibility: Complete your intensive in a few hours with minimal disruption.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a structured, research-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess painful experiences so they no longer feel as overwhelming.
In traditional therapy, EMDR sessions happen once a week for about an hour. In an EMDR Intensive, the same therapeutic process is condensed into several focused hours, often over one or more days.
This extended format allows your mind to stay engaged and connected to the work, creating faster, deeper change. Many clients describe it as “getting unstuck” - finally moving through emotions or memories that had felt too heavy to face.
What Are EMDR Intensives?
Every EMDR Intensive begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll explore your history, current symptoms, and goals so that your experience is completely tailored to you.
Each intensive follows three main phases:
Preparation:
You’ll learn grounding techniques, relaxation tools, and emotional regulation strategies. This ensures you feel steady and supported before we begin deeper work.
Reprocessing:
With EMDR, you’ll revisit specific memories or sensations in a way that helps your brain reprocess them safely. The goal is not to relive trauma, but to release its emotional charge.
Integration:
After each round of processing, we spend time grounding and reflecting on what shifted. This helps your brain and body fully integrate new, healthier perspectives.
Sessions are held in our White Plains office. It’s a peaceful space designed to help you feel comfortable, safe, and focused throughout the process.
Depending on your needs, EMDR Intensives can last half a day, a full day, or several days in a row. You’ll have time between sessions to rest, reflect, and recharge.

FAQs
How do I know if an EMDR Intensive is right for me?
If you’re ready for deeper focus, want to maintain momentum without weekly interruptions, or have specific challenges to address, an intensive may be a good fit. If you’re unsure, start with a traditional session.
How much does it cost?
An EMDR Intensive is a bigger upfront investment, but often more cost-effective than weekly therapy. You’ll spend less time on day-to-day updates and more time directly reprocessing trauma, so progress can happen more efficiently. EMDR intensives start at $550 with insurance, or $850 without insurance.
