The Solution for Rapid Relief
If weekly sessions feel like a disruption to your busy life, or if you simply need to feel better now, an EMDR Intensive is designed for you. I offer a focused, high-impact alternative to traditional talk therapy, allowing for deep trauma resolution in a fraction of the time.
Why Choose EMDR Intensives? (Evidence, Efficiency, & Flexibility)
Choosing an intensive format with me offers proven advantages over standard weekly therapy:
Meeting Your Needs: The traditional model of weekly psychotherapy is shifting to meet your needs. Now more than ever, I recognize the necessity for flexibility in how you get specialized support.
Faster Access & Personalization: My EMDR Intensives are personalized treatment plans that allow you to skip the typical waitlist by giving you faster access to select spots. They are designed to support your preferred schedule and timeline for achieving your treatment goals.
Faster Symptom Reduction: Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy is well-tolerated by clients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with results that are often similar to, or even better than, standard weekly care.
Reliable, Rapid Improvement: Intensive EMDR treatment has demonstrated its feasibility and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms within a very short timeframe.
Effective for Complex Trauma: An intensive program utilizing EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for Complex PTSD.
Compelling Economy and Efficiency: The intensive format significantly decreases overall treatment time because we eliminate the pauses typically spent on:
Routine check-ins at the beginning of each weekly session.
Addressing immediate current crises and concerns.
Focusing extensively on stabilizing and coping skills that become unnecessary once the trauma is healed.
Assisting the client in regaining composure and transitioning out at the end of each session.
Why work with a certified specialist?
Certification represents a commitment to the highest standards of EMDR therapy. In our intensive sessions, I utilize advanced protocols and years of specialized experience to ensure your processing is safe, efficient, and thorough. You aren’t just getting more time; you’re getting expert level precision.
Logistics & Investment
I offer EMDR Intensives both in-person at my office in Greenville, SC, and virtually to clients in South Carolina and North Carolina.
Intensive Program Options
I offer different levels of support designed to match the complexity of your goals.
The Deep Dive ($350): A 90-minute session focused on processing
The Focused Day ($450) A single-day intensive consisting of a 2 hour processing block. This is ideal for targeting a specific recent event or a singular performance block.
The Intensive Duo ($900): A two-day intensive totaling 4 hours of processing (2 hours per day). This format allows us to move past the surface and begin resolving deeper, more persistent triggers.
The Full Transformation ($1800): My most comprehensive package, featuring 8 hours of processing over four days. This is highly recommended for addressing Complex PTSD or long-standing childhood wounds.
Which one is right for me? The best package for you depends on the "layers" of the trauma or distress you wish to resolve. During our Pre-Intensive Consultation, we will discuss your history and goals together to determine which program offers the most effective timeline for your healing.
These specialized services are typically considered private pay due to the extended session length.
Payment: To reserve your dedicated time block, a deposit is required at the time of booking. While I am open to discussing payment plans, the total balance must be paid in full by the end of our final processing session.
Insurance: I am a private-pay provider. If you have "Out-of-Network" benefits, I can provide a superbill for you to submit for potential reimbursement from your insurance carrier.

Because of the extended session length, EMDR Intensives are typically private-pay.
