EMDR Intensives for Deep, Lasting Healing
Trauma-Informed Counseling for Adults
There are moments in life when you know you are ready for deeper work.
Not just coping.
Not just insight.
But real healing.
EMDR Intensives offer a focused and powerful way to address trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and long-standing internal patterns — in a structured, supportive, and highly intentional format.
This approach is especially well-suited for adults who:
Feel stuck despite previous therapy
Carry unresolved trauma or painful memories
Struggle with anxiety, relationship patterns, or codependency
Desire meaningful change in a defined season of work
As a trauma-informed counselor specializing in EMDR therapy and parts-based (IFS-informed) work, I help clients move beyond surface understanding and into deep internal transformation.
What Is an EMDR Intensive?
An EMDR Intensive is an extended therapy session — typically three hours — designed to allow for focused trauma reprocessing without feeling rushed or fragmented.
Rather than stopping just as the work begins to deepen, we create space to:
Stay regulated and grounded
Access core memories and attachment wounds
Engage in thorough EMDR trauma reprocessing
Integrate the work in a contained and supported way
For some clients, this means incorporating occasional 3-hour sessions alongside regular therapy.
Others may choose to set aside a dedicated day and complete two extended sessions for concentrated progress.
We design a rhythm that aligns with your goals, capacity, and life circumstances.
A Thoughtful and Flexible Structure
Most clients maintain 60-minute sessions for:
Nervous system regulation and resourcing
Building internal awareness
Strengthening parts-based skills
Preparing for and integrating intensive work
When ready, extended EMDR sessions allow us to go deeper.
This flexible structure provides both stability and momentum — honoring the pace of healing while creating meaningful movement.
What We Address
EMDR Intensives can be particularly effective for:
Childhood trauma and attachment wounds
Anxiety and panic patterns
Codependency and relational distress
Shame-based beliefs and negative core narratives
Spiritual confusion or identity struggles
For clients seeking Christian trauma-informed counseling, faith can be gently integrated into the work when desired. Healing often involves not only the mind and nervous system, but the heart and spirit as well.
We approach this work with humility, clinical excellence, and deep respect for your story.
What Clients Experience
Clients who engage in EMDR Intensives can expect:
Greater Emotional Freedom
Responding rather than reacting
Living with increased steadiness and clarity
Nervous System Regulation
Understanding how trauma lives in the body
Developing lifelong resourcing skills
Confidence in Parts-Based Work

Investment
EMDR Intensive sessions are billed at $120 per hour and are self-pay.
This format allows for depth, flexibility, and focused clinical care.
The Invitation
Healing is possible.
Not rushed.
Not forced.
But intentional.
If you are ready to move beyond coping and into lasting change, EMDR Intensives may be the next right step.
Together, we will approach your story with clarity, compassion, and courage — working toward healing, wholeness, and freedom.
