EMDR Therapy Intensives

Focused, trauma-informed EMDR therapy designed to support meaningful healing in a shorter period of time.

How EMDR Can Help

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming or stuck in the nervous system.

• Trauma and PTSD symptoms
• Anxiety and panic responses
• Intrusive memories or nightmares
• Negative self-beliefs shaped by past experiences
• Body-based stress responses

How EMDR Works

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, tapping, or tones— while you briefly focus on aspects of a memory. This allows the brain’s natural healing process to integrate the experience in a more adaptive way.

You do not need to describe traumatic events in detail or relive them for extended periods. You remain in control throughout the process.

What to Expect in a 90-Minute EMDR Session

Grounding & Nervous System Regulation
Sessions begin with grounding practices to support safety and presence.

Resource Installation
We build internal resources such as calm, strength, and stability.

Trauma Reprocessing
Target memories are processed in a paced, contained, and supportive way.

Integration & Closure
Sessions end with grounding so you leave feeling steady and supported.

LGBTQ+ Affirming EMDR Support

EMDR intensives are offered within an affirming, inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating identity-based trauma, minority stress, rejection, or shame-based beliefs.

Support for Complex Trauma (C-PTSD)

For complex or developmental trauma, EMDR intensives emphasize pacing, stabilization, and nervous system safety—never pushing beyond readiness.

Support for Substance Use Recovery

For individuals in stable recovery, EMDR can help address trauma and triggers that contribute to cravings or relapse patterns.
