Regular therapy takes place in weekly, 50-minute sessions. Intensives are dedicated blocks of time (4, 8, or multi-day) focused on fast-tracking your healing. Additionally, intensives allow the opportunity to progress through your symptoms in a more succinct and focused way without interruption compared to a traditional 50-minute session.

Yes. While healing is a journey, intensives allow us to do “weeks’ worth” of work in one day by addressing core issues head-on.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, struggling to see progress, or dealing with trauma that’s weighing you down, an intensive is a great option. Our initial consultation will ensure it’s a good fit for you.

Think about intensive sessions as similar to a retreat. It’s best if you plan to set aside time, energy and engage support to ensure you’re able to get the most out of your experience.

Consider:

• Reducing afternoon/evening obligation to focus on self-care.

• Creating plenty of opportunities for activities that support you and your body (exercise, art, massage, etc…).

• Limiting work phone calls.

• Informing your support system so they are aware that you’ll be focused on self-care and growth during your intensive.

• Making a plan for a healthy lunch (packed or pickup) and consider a calming walk at the park on your intensive days.

Intensives are available both in person and virtually, offering flexibility to suit your needs.

Virtual Intensives

For added convenience, EMDR intensives are also offered virtually in the following states: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Utah, South Carolina, Florida, and Maine. Virtual sessions are conducted via a secure telehealth platform, allowing you to experience the same level of care and support from the comfort of your own home.

Custom Travel Options

If you would prefer that I travel to you for your intensive, we can discuss a specialized or custom option tailored to your needs. In such cases, you would be responsible for covering the additional cost of travel and accommodations as part of the package. Please feel free to reach out to discuss this option further if it’s something you’re considering.

Whether you choose in-person, virtual, or custom travel, you can expect a safe, supportive, and focused environment tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Yes, absolutely! Many clients find that follow-up sessions are incredibly helpful for integrating the insights and progress made during the intensive. After your intensive, you’ll have the option to book add-on intensive sessions for deeper work or transition to traditional weekly therapy to maintain momentum at a pace that feels right for you.

This flexibility ensures that your healing journey doesn’t end with the intensive. Whether you choose additional sessions or ongoing therapy, we’ll work together to create a plan that supports your long-term growth and well-being. The goal is to provide you with the tools and strategies to continue thriving well beyond our initial work together.

Absolutely not. We will be by your side, guiding and supporting you every step of the way. You’ll never feel lost or unsupported.

Your comfort is always my priority. Therapy intensives are designed to balance progress with a pace that feels manageable for you. Breaks are built into the session to give you time to reset, and we can pause or adjust the focus whenever needed.

If emotions or memories become overwhelming, we’ll use grounding techniques or shift directions to ensure you feel supported and in control. The flexibility of an intensive allows us to work in a way that prioritizes your well-being every step of the way.

Yes! During your pre-session consultation, we’ll explore your goals, challenges, and preferences to determine the best approach—or combination of approaches—for your unique needs. Whether it’s Brainspotting, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), or a blend of modalities, the goal is to create a customized plan that aligns with your healing journey.

If you’re unsure which approach might work best, don’t worry—I’ll guide you through the options and explain how each method can support your specific goals. This collaborative process ensures that your therapy experience is tailored, effective, and designed to help you achieve meaningful results.

We require at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling to allow us to accommodate other clients and prepare appropriately for your session. If you cancel or reschedule with less than 48 hours’ notice, the 50% deposit you paid to reserve your session will be forfeited.

This policy is in place because therapy intensives require significant preparation and reserved time, making it difficult to fill the spot on short notice. Thank you for understanding and respecting this policy as we work to provide the best possible care for all clients. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to reach out.

Absolutely. Therapy intensives can be highly effective for children and teens because they often process and respond to therapeutic work more quickly than adults. The focused nature of an intensive allows young clients to address trauma, anxiety, or other challenges in a way that feels manageable and productive for their developmental stage.

Additionally, the immersive structure provides the time and space for children and teens to build coping skills, boost confidence, and achieve meaningful progress without the interruptions of weekly sessions. Each intensive is tailored to meet their unique needs, ensuring a safe, supportive environment where they feel heard and empowered.
