EMDR INTENSIVES in Washington State

In-person therapy in Kirkland, WA & virtual therapy throughout WA State

Modern support for the modern professional

You’re tired of struggling with the same things over and over again.

As a professional, time is money, and your mental well-being is invaluable. You’re motivated to start feeling better, but either can’t find a therapist who is accepting new clients or have been waitlisted for weeks (even months). And even when you do find someone, carving out time week after week, especially during work hours, can feel nearly impossible.

Maybe you are experiencing:

Intense emotions that stay stuck in your body
Intense negative thoughts that are diminishing your self-confidence
Trauma triggers disrupting your ability to be present in daily life and relationships
Worries and fear of the unknowns of the future
Fear of losing it all due to being a first generation achiever

EMDR Intensives is an accelerated form of therapy that gives you the space to do the deeper work with uninterrupted time, in order to feel better faster.

In a fast paced world, the traditional therapy model has evolved to meet your needs.

EMDR Intensives is a modern approach for those that want flexibility in how they are supported.

EMDR Intensives can help you feel better faster.

Unlock deep healing in days, not weeks, with the targeted approach of EMDR Intensive. Tailored for specific goals or concerns, major life events, or overcoming obstacles, this accelerated experience saves you time and resources.

What is an EMDR Intensive?

EMDR Intensives is a concentrated way to accelerate the healing that you would experience in a typical EMDR session. Instead of the traditional weekly format of 50-minute sessions, we dedicate a block of time, whether it's in one full day or spread across multiple days. You get the full impact of EMDR without interruptions between sessions, making it a concentrated and effective approach to healing.

How does an EMDR Intensive work?

Before our EMDR intensive, we will meet for a Pre-Intensive Interview in order to discuss the goal or what you are hoping to see shift through the intensive. We will take a look at what your present day life looks like (stressors, ways you cope, your support system, and where you would like to see relief, growth, or a shift). During the EMDR Intensive, we’ll use reprocessing and calming techniques, like guided meditation and grounding, along with bilateral stimulation to target distressing experiences. This is a personal and customized treatment approach to you. After the EMDR Intensive, we will meet for a Post-Intensive Interview to reflect on what moments were most insightful and meaningful for you and how you can incorporate this into your life moving forward.

EMDR Therapy can help with a variety of issues. I help individuals that are wanting to see relief from:

anxiety and phobias
burnout in helping professionals
childhood/ attachment trauma or painful childhood experiences
depression and negative self talk
racial trauma
recent event trauma
self-esteem and confidence concerns

vicarious/ secondary trauma

What does an EMDR intensive include?

Pre-Intensive Intake Session

In this 90-minute session, we'll talk about your goals for the EMDR Intensive, preparing for the experience by pinpointing memories, beliefs, emotions, or images you want relief from.

*Personalized Treatment Workbook**

A customized treatment workbook is available as an add-on to your intensive package. Before your session, you’ll receive a workbook filled with assessments and guided activities to help you prepare and reflect. This resource is designed to clarify your goals, deepen your self-awareness, and support progress throughout your healing journey. You can use it to track your growth before, during, and after the intensive.

Customized Treatment Program

Experience your EMDR Intensive in 3 hour sessions, over the span of one or several days, tailored just for you, featuring targeted treatment and personalized resource activities.

Post-Intensive Interview Session

In a 90-minute session, we'll reflect on your experience, highlighting insights and areas of relief and transformation. We'll also discuss your next steps for ongoing growth and healing.

*Note: A customized treatment workbook is available as an add-on to your intensive package. The cost reflects two hours of therapist time spent reviewing your completed workbook before your intensive session, allowing for a more focused and personalized experience.

Options & Investment

Intensive therapy packages start at $1,800*

You can choose a one-time intensive or recurring sessions based on your needs and goals. The cost depends on your chosen format, such as a single 3-hour session or three 90-minute sessions spread across a week. It also varies by scheduling preferences, like weekdays versus weekends, and virtual versus in-person sessions. During our consultation call, I will provide a personalized estimate after we discuss which option feels most supportive for you.

*Total program hours include your 90 minute pre intensive, your 90 minute post intensive sessions, your 3 hour intensive session(s) and 2 hours review of your completed treatment workbook by your therapist. Additional hours may be added to your intensive at the discretion and availability of your therapist. A customized treatment workbook can be added on for an additional fee.

EMDR INTENSIVES:

A time efficient AND cost effective approach to therapy

LET’S DO THE MATH…

TRADITIONAL WEEKLY THERAPY

10-15 MINUTES: checking in from the previous session
20-30 MINUTES: EMDR reprocessing and resourcing
10-15 MINUTES: wrapping up/ closing out the session
TOTAL TIME SPENT: 50 - 60 minute session
= COST $225* for one session

With this approach, it could take upwards of a month (meeting weekly for 4 weeks) in order to address just one specific issue through EMDR.

RUNNING TALLY: $900*

BUT, life happens between sessions! You might find that you may need space to process other things that are popping up in life, which can further shift away from the initial stressors you began to address through EMDR therapy.

Though this can be an effective approach to therapy, you are likely to spend months, precious time, and pay thousands of dollars for an issue(s) you are wanting relief from RIGHT NOW.

TOTAL: $900* X # of months in therapy = $$$ spent

*cost will vary based on number of months that you engage in individual therapy.

VS.

EMDR INTENSIVE SESSION

10-15 MINUTES: checking in and establishing focus of the session
150-160 MINUTES: EMDR reprocessing and resourcing
10-15 MINUTES: wrapping up/ closing out the session
TOTAL TIME SPENT: 180 minute session
= COST $1,800*

In a span of just half a day, you could resolve one or several stressors. In just 3 hours of EMDR reprocessing, you are able to get double the impact of traditional therapy sessions. Why is this amazing? Because this process allows you to achieve significant progress in a shorter timeframe, ultimately resulting in fewer therapy sessions overall.

You can feel better sooner and faster.

*cost will vary based on EMDR intensive package that will best fit your needs

Simply put, opting for an EMDR Intensive will save you money, time, and ease your suffering sooner.

Great question! This depends on your goals for the EMDR Intensive.
