Achieve Lasting Change in a Fraction of the Time

If you are struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, anxiety, or emotional distress, our specialized Trauma Intensive Program offers a concentrated path to resolution. By integrating the evidence-based power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with the rapid techniques of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), we can help you find profound relief in days or weeks, rather than months or years.

Choosing an intensive format 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 support.

• Faster Access & Personalization: My EMDR Intensives are personalized treatment plans that allow you to skip the 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.

What is a Trauma Intensive?

A trauma intensive compresses weeks or months of traditional weekly therapy into a short, focused series of sessions. This approach is ideal for those who are highly motivated, have complex work schedules, or require rapid relief from debilitating symptoms.

Your Customized Treatment Program

Your healing journey begins with a tailored treatment plan built around your specific, targeted goals and comfort level. We leverage the unique strengths of both EMDR and ART to create a flexible, powerful healing experience.

• Format: Intensives are delivered either in-person or conveniently virtually (HIPAA compliant).

• Duration: Typically comprising 3–9 focused sessions (depending on the complexity of the trauma).

• Session Length: Each session lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, allowing for deep, uninterrupted processing.

Why the Dual Approach?

We combine EMDR and ART because they offer a complete spectrum of resolution:

Is the Intensive Program Right for Me?

This program is highly effective for addressing a range of issues when a typical weekly format isn't fast enough.

You may be a good candidate if you are experiencing:

• PTSD or C-PTSD: Lingering effects from single-incident or long-term trauma.

• Phobias & Anxiety: Specific fears or generalized anxiety that interferes with daily life.

• Performance Blocks: Anxiety preventing success in careers, academics, or relationships.

• Recent Trauma: Addressing an event shortly after it occurred to prevent long-term distress.

• Scheduling Difficulties: You travel frequently or need to use concentrated time off for treatment.

 Intensives are suitable for individuals who are ready to commit fully to the process and desire immediate, noticeable change.
