EMDR Therapy Intensives

EMDR Therapy Intensives are for people looking to do months worth of therapy in a short period of time. During the initial consult, part of the process is to assess if this may be a good fit for you and your needs. EMDR Therapy Intensives are not for everyone, and do require that people have an adaptive coping skills practice in place. Ideally, you have a mental health therapist who you see weekly, and Erica may also check in with your primary therapist to inquire about readiness for this process.

What makes a therapy intensive different? 

Besides the reality of extended time, some people take a moment to open up in a traditional hour long therapy session. An intensive created space for this reality. Intensives can also be incredibly helpful for those who struggle to make hour long weekly or every other week sessions, and/or who are coming to therapy between work/family realities. This is an intentional uninterrupted (besides lunch) time for the work that supports you to reach your therapy goals, and process through a lot of work in a shorter period of time (1 day, vs several weeks of weekly sessions).

Therapy intensives are not for everyone, 

and the initial consult supports identifying which route may be best for you and your needs. The extended intake also supports a thorugh exploration and practice of your history and resources (internal & external) that will support this work. What coping skills work for you? What does not work for you? What have been barriers to therapy? What are the thoughts you have about yourself, your experiences, and the world around you? In the extended intake we will also practice some skills to identify what will be supportive for you during your intake. This also gives Erica the opportunity to create the intensive plan specific to you and your needs.

EMDR Therapy Intensives are self-pay only, as they are not covered by insurance. Intensives are for folx who may not have the capacity and/or schedule for more traditional weekly/bi-weekly therapy sessions. A thorough, initial 2 hour intake is required prior to any EMDR Therapy Intensive work with Erica. An EMDR Therapy Intensive is at minimum 4 hours, and up to 7 hours (plus a 1 hour lunch break) or an entire weekend.

Example:
Half Day: 9am - 1pm
OR
Full Day : 9am-1pm, lunch, 2pm-5pm

Erica is currently scheduling EMDR Therapy Intensives for February - june 2024.
