"Trauma is not what happens to you, it’s what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you."

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful relational approach that helps individuals process traumatic memories and experiences in a safe, supportive environment. 

By fostering a strong therapeutic relationship, EMDR encourages clients to explore their feelings and thoughts while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements. 

This process facilitates the integration of distressing memories, allowing for healing and a deeper understanding of how these experiences shape current emotions and behaviors. 

While clients navigate their journeys of recovery, their compassionate connection with their therapist becomes a vital component, creating a space where growth and resilience can flourish.

"EMDR is not a therapy of the past; it is a therapy of the present, helping clients resolve their past while focusing on their future." - Francine Shapiro

EMDR intensives provide a unique and focused therapeutic experience for those looking to address trauma and related emotional challenges more quickly. 

Each session is typically longer than a traditional 50 minute session, allowing for deeper processing of distressing memories and feelings in a supportive environment. 

Before committing to an intensive, we will meet to determine if this approach is a good fit for your specific needs and circumstances. 

It's also important to note that a portion or all of these sessions might not be covered by insurance, so we’ll discuss any financial considerations upfront. 

By condensing the EMDR protocol into intensive sessions, you can engage in meaningful work without the longer waits associated with traditional therapy. This can accelerate healing and empower you as you gain valuable insights and coping strategies. 

Whether you’re addressing trauma, anxiety, or other issues, EMDR intensives offer a supportive opportunity for profound transformation and recovery.
