STRESS, ANXIETY, TRAUMA
A trauma therapy intensive can provide the breakthrough you need to finally move forward. This intensive program combines the evidence-based EMDR or ART therapy approach with a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
During the intensive, we’ll work together to identify and process negative emotions and traumatic experiences. Through the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), you'll learn how to reframe your thoughts and responses to triggers, leading to a more positive and resilient mindset.
An EMDR therapy intensive is ideal for those who are seeking a more focused and accelerated approach to healing. Rather than traditional therapy sessions spread out over several weeks or months, an intensive program provides concentrated and transformative treatment in a condensed period of time.
Don't let trauma or anxiety hold you back any longer. Reach out today!
Intensive Therapy can help you feel better faster.
Intensive therapy is a way of accelerating the healing that would typically take place at a slower rate within the traditional weekly therapy format.Its a powerful time intensive tool to jumpstart the healing process; instead of going to therapy weekly, you set aside a chunk of time ( 1/2 a day, 1 or 2 days) to accelerate your therapy work. Intensives help you to deep dive into your healing journey and make significant strides in a shorter period of time.

Perhaps you’re needing help — and a lot of it—right now, and you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly model of therapy to feel better. You may be someone who prefers to work intensively, Or perhaps you’re working with a therapist and you’re needing to do a specific piece of trauma processing work before returning to your regular sessions.
This type of therapy would not be suitable for those who experience a high level of dissociation and require more stabilization. This type of therapy would not be best suited for someone who is suicidal or experiencing psychosis. Regular sessions over a longer period of time would be safer and appropriate.
