What is an EMDR intensive?

EMDR Intensive Therapy offers you the opportunity to condense your therapeutic experience and progress in a shorter time period. While therapy is traditionally offered in a weekly one-hour format, EMDR intensives are highly concentrated sessions, occurring for 4-6 hours per day over the course of 1-5 days. This structure allows you to focus solely on healing, growth, and finding long-lasting improvement. 

WHAT DOES AN EMDR INTENSIVE LOOK LIKE?

EMDR Intensives typically occur in 4-6 hour blocks of time over the course of 1 - 5 days (depending on client’s needs and financial comfortability). When we meet with for your intake session, we will make a recommendation for the layout of your intensive treatment.

Intensives may also be scheduled for individuals engaged in weekly counseling that could benefit from intensive treatment on a specific issue or symptom.

DOES THIS WORK AS WELL AS WEEKLY THERAPY?

Research demonstrates that EMDR intensives are as effective as weekly therapy. However, intensives allow you to condense treatment down to a few days to one week instead of attending weekly therapy for an extended period of time.

IS AN EMDR INTENSIVE COVERED BY MY HEALTH INSURANCE?

Due to the structure of treatment and limitations of insurance plans, these intensives are not currently covered by medical or mental health insurance. The initial intake appointment is the only one that can be billed. The additional hours have to be self pay. Intensives are by schedule only in 4 to 6 hour blocks upon request.

3-hour Intensive: $800

4-hour Intensive: $1,400

8-hour Intensive: $2,800 (w/choice of one or two days)

12-hour Intensive: $4,000 (broken up over a week’s time)
