Intensives are two to six hours long rather than fifty-five minutes, which allows deeper exploration and saves time on transition periods (beginning a session and wrapping it up). I began offering intensives for EMDR clients who wanted to complete EMDR more quickly, but I now also offer intensives for parts work and for couples.

Intensives are a good option for those who are hoping to accelerate their inner work, and can also be helpful for those who have trouble scheduling therapy sessions on a weekly basis. For EMDR intensives a single session may be effective, depending on what you are hoping to process and how you respond to EMDR. However, for parts work and couples counseling a single intensive will likely not be adequate because these processes require longer-term work both in and outside of session with a therapist’s guidance and feedback.

Intensives are $200 per hour, though I offer some spots at a reduced rate for those with lower income.
