EmdR Intensives
More focused support for trauma processing
EMDR Intensives offer a concentrated option when weekly therapy feels too slow, hard to schedule, or like you spend most of the session catching up. Longer sessions create more continuity, dedicated space, and room to stay with what you’re working through.
EMDR Intensives are offered in person in Miami. Preparation and integration support may be available via telehealth for clients in New York, Florida, California, and PSYPACT states.
When weekly therapy feels too spread out
Focused support can create more momentum
Weekly therapy can be helpful, but it can also feel hard to keep the thread. By the time you settle in, catch up, and begin touching the deeper material, the session may already be ending.
EMDR Intensives create more dedicated space to focus on specific memories, symptoms, or patterns. The longer format can support continuity, depth, and a clearer sense of direction as you move through the work.
EMDR intensives may support:
Specific memories or experiences you want to process
PTSD or unresolved trauma
Repeating relationship patterns
Panic responses or anxiety loops
Grief, loss, or major life transitions
Chronic stress, burnout, or shutdown
Self-doubt, shame, or negative beliefs
What are EMDR Intensives?
A concentrated format for trauma processing
EMDR Intensives offer longer, focused therapy sessions designed to help you stay with the work instead of stopping just as things begin to open up.
Rather than spreading the process across weekly 50-minute sessions, intensives create dedicated time for preparation, EMDR processing, and integration, so you can work through specific memories, symptoms, or patterns with more continuity and support. Reprocessing may happen across multiple extended sessions, with the overall intensive unfolding over several days or weeks depending on your needs.
Preparation
We’ll clarify what you want to work on, build the resources you’ll need, and make sure you feel grounded and ready before moving into deeper processing.
ReProcessing
This may happen across multiple extended sessions, often several hours at a time, with timing and pacing shaped around what you need.
Integration
We’ll make space to process what came up, connect insights back to your everyday life, and support what continues unfolding after the intensive.
How an Intensive is Structured
A clear container for focused EMDR work
Each intensive includes preparation, one or more extended EMDR processing sessions, and integration support afterward. Reprocessing may happen in multiple blocks, sometimes close together and sometimes spread across several weeks, depending on what you need.
A typical intensive may include:
50-minute preparation session
One or more extended EMDR processing sessions
50-minute integration session
The exact format may vary depending on what you are working through, your current level of support, and whether an intensive feels clinically appropriate.
Fit and pacing
Intensive work is not the right pace for everyone
EMDR Intensives can be helpful when you have a specific focus and enough support in your life to make room for deeper processing. They are not about rushing your healing or pushing through more than your system can hold.
Before scheduling an intensive, we’ll talk through what you want to work on, what is happening in your life right now, and whether this format feels clinically appropriate. Your stability, current stressors, support system, and goals all matter in deciding the right pace.

Common questions
What else to know about EMDR Intensives
A few practical details to help you understand the format, the pace, and what kind of support is built into the process.

An intensive can focus on a specific memory, symptom, relationship pattern, belief, panic response, grief, transition, or trauma-related experience that feels ready for more concentrated attention.
-
A typical intensive may include a 50-minute preparation session, a 2-hour EMDR intensive session, and a 50-minute integration session afterward. The exact structure may vary based on your needs and clinical fit.
-
Yes. Preparation helps clarify the focus of the work, assess whether an intensive is appropriate, and build grounding tools so the process feels more supported.
