EMDR Therapy Intensives

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy Intensives are a modern approach to accelerated healing from trauma and emotional distress by offering personalized treatment without the wait.

 

You get faster access to focused sessions tailored to your schedule and goals. Unlike standard 50-minute sessions, Intensives are 3-4 hours each day, split into 1.5 to 2-hour segments, over multiple days. Perhaps you are needing help, and a lot of it, as soon as possible. Rediscover your inner resilience and live the life you deserve sooner.

The traditional approach to weekly therapy is evolving to meet the needs of busy people, like you. In today's climate, there's a heightened demand for flexibility in accessing counselling and therapy. 

EMDR Intensive Therapy can help with...

  • Trauma stemming from assault, abuse, neglect (PTSD)

  • Painful childhood experiences, childhood/attachment trauma (CPTSD)

  • Issues with self-esteem

  • Stress, anxiety, phobias, OCD

  • Dealing with depression and negative self-talk

  • Recovery from accidents/injuries, chronic pain/illness, medical trauma

  • Improving performance and boosting creativity

  • Addressing addictions

  • And more...

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy designed to help you heal from past traumas and distressing experiences.

 

Using gentle techniques, EMDR taps into your brain's natural healing abilities, allowing you to process painful memories in a safe and supportive environment.

 

It's like giving your mind the tools it needs to untangle knots of stress and pain, paving the way for profound emotional healing and a brighter future.

What are the advantages of intensive therapy in terms of cost-effectiveness and time efficiency compared to weekly therapy?

In a typical weekly therapy session, the structure often involves approximately:

​​

  • 10-15 minutes update

  • 20-30 minutes for therapeutic work

  • 10-15 minutes to wrap up the session 

​

This routine might go on for about a month, costing roughly $880 for four weekly sessions. But, things in life often pop up between sessions, changing what we talk about and how we do therapy. So, weekly therapy could end up taking a few months ($880 * multiple months) costing more as we go along, without necessarily fixing the problems bothering you right away.

With a Therapy Intensive,

the structure often involves approximately:

​​

  • 10-15 minute chat to catch up and figure out what we're focusing on 

  • Dive into 160-210 minutes of deep therapeutic work

  • Followed by another 10-15 minutes to wrap things up

​​

With this intensive approach, you could tackle one or multiple stressors in just half a day, costing between $1,452-$1859. Plus, since deep therapeutic processing is so effective, you're often getting more benefit than you'd get from traditional therapy sessions. That means you're doing more work in less time, needing fewer therapy sessions overall. You'll start feeling better sooner, and you won't have to keep taking time off work or paying for childcare to make it to your sessions.
