EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy originally developed for trauma and PTSD, and now used for anxiety, grief, chronic pain, performance blocks, and more. Rather than requiring you to talk through every detail of a difficult memory, EMDR uses structured attention and bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements) to help your brain process and “digest” experiences that got stuck — often bringing rapid, lasting relief.

Traditional therapy unfolds in 50-minute weekly sessions, often a helpful pace, but not always the right one. For clients who are ready to do deeper work, who feel “stuck” in weekly processing, or who simply don’t have months to spend easing into trauma work, an EMDR Intensive offers another option: extended, focused sessions designed to create meaningful movement in days rather than months.

At Clarity Therapies, I offer EMDR Intensives for individuals who want to process trauma, anxiety, grief, or stuck life patterns in a concentrated, well-supported format, without the start-stop rhythm of weekly sessions.

An EMDR Intensive replaces (or supplements) the traditional weekly-session model with extended blocks of time — for example, a half-day, full-day, or multi-day format — dedicated entirely to your process. Instead of spending 10 minutes of each session re-orienting and 10 minutes closing down before you’ve really gotten anywhere, an intensive gives your nervous system the time it actually needs to move all the way through trauma targets.

–Momentum, not restarts. Weekly sessions often end just as you’re getting into the material, and a full week passes before you return to it. Intensives let you stay in the process long enough to reach a real resolution.
–Faster results. Many clients accomplish in a few intensive days what might otherwise take months of weekly appointments.
–Deeper preparation. Extended time allows for thorough preparation and resourcing before any reprocessing begins, so the work is paced to your system rather than the clock.
–Fewer transitions. You’re not repeatedly re-entering and exiting difficult material across many separate weeks; the work happens in a contained, supported arc.
–Flexibility for your life. Intensives are well suited to people who have a hard time with weekly sessions because of difficult or unpredictable schedules, or for those who want to make significant progress quickly, or before a specific life event like a wedding, deployment, medical procedure, etc. Intensives are not a shortcut but rather a structure that often increases safety by creating preparation, pacing, and the room needed to do a full desensitization and reprocessing procedure in one session.

Every intensive I offer is built on a foundation of careful preparation. Before any reprocessing happens, we spend real time building resources, understanding your internal system, and making sure you feel equipped to do this work well. My preparation work draws on several complementary approaches.

I bring an IFS (Internal Family Systems)-informed lens to preparation and stabilization work. IFS understands the mind as made up of different “parts” — for example, a protective part that stays busy to avoid pain, or a younger part still holding an old hurt. Before reprocessing a memory with EMDR, it’s enormously helpful to know which parts of you might feel activated, protective, or hesitant, and to build trust with those parts first. This reduces overwhelm and helps ensure the work goes at a pace your whole system can tolerate.

I am currently completing my IFS Level 1 training through the IFS Institute, with expected completion in December 2026, and I integrate IFS-informed principles into my preparation and stabilization work.

In addition to IFS, I draw on evidence-based, Parts- and Memory Therapy focused preparation methods used widely in trauma therapy. This work helps identify how memories are organized and held in the nervous system, and helps resource and stabilize any parts of you that carry fear, shame, or protectiveness — so that when we do move into EMDR reprocessing, it can unfold smoothly and safely.

Why this combination matters. EMDR alone is powerful, but pairing it with parts-work-informed preparation means:

– We identify blocks before they stall reprocessing mid-session
– Protective or fearful parts feel heard and included, rather than overridden
– You leave sessions feeling more integrated, not just “activated and tired”
– The pacing is tailored to your actual internal system, not a generic protocol

– People who feel “stuck” in weekly therapy and want to build real momentum
– Trauma survivors seeking focused, structured processing
– Clients preparing for a major life transition or event
– Clients who want concentrated care in a shorter window
– Anyone who has done some therapy already and is ready to go deeper

*Intensives are not appropriate for every situation; clients in acute crisis, without adequate outside support, or with certain complex presentations may be better served by ongoing weekly care first. This is something we’ll discuss together during your consultation.*

– A pre-intensive consultation call to discuss goals and confirm fit
– Full preparation and resourcing time (including IFS-informed parts work)
– All scheduled reprocessing hours
– A post-intensive integration/closing conversation
– A written summary of session goals and recommended next steps

An intensive isn’t just a longer session , it’s concentrated clinical time, careful preparation, and full attention devoted entirely to your process. Many clients find that what they accomplish in a single intensive would otherwise take months of weekly sessions to reach, often making the total cost of care comparable to — or less than — extended weekly therapy, while getting there faster.

Individual EMDR Session: $200

| Half-Day Intensive | 3 hours | $560 | Save $40 |
| Full-Day Intensive | 6 hours | $1,100 | Save $100 |

All breaks are included in the listed session length, no additional time is charged.

Intensives cost less per hour. Booking your time in a single, focused block isn’t just clinically effective and it’s a better value. Each intensive format is priced below the equivalent hours purchased individually, as a way of rewarding the commitment it takes to show up for concentrated, deeper work. The longer the intensive, the more you save.

EMDR Intensives (individual and couples) are private pay, and payment in full is due at time of service. While I don’t bill insurance directly, a superbill can be provided upon request with an itemized receipt with the diagnostic and procedure codes needed to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services, though this varies widely by plan.

When trauma shows up in the relationship, it doesn’t just live in one person; it shows up in the space between partners. Old wounds, attachment injuries, and painful past experiences can quietly shape how couples argue, disconnect, seek reassurance, or shut down. EMDR for Couples is a specialized approach that brings the same trauma-processing power of individual EMDR into the relationship itself, helping partners understand and heal the patterns that keep them stuck.

Rather than only exploring communication skills or surface-level conflict, EMDR for Couples looks underneath the argument to what’s really being triggered. When a partner reacts strongly to something that seems small, it’s often an old wound getting activated in the present moment. Using EMDR alongside relational and attachment-focused interventions, we can help each partner process the individual pain driving the pattern, while also strengthening the bond between you as a couple.

How It’s Different from Traditional Couples Therapy?

– Addresses root causes, not just symptoms. Instead of only managing the fight you keep having, we work toward healing what’s underneath it.
– Individual healing within a relational context. Each partner’s own history and nervous system responses are honored, without losing sight of the relationship as a whole.
–Reduces reactivity. As old material gets processed, partners often find they have more capacity to stay present and connected during hard conversations, rather than getting hijacked by old pain.
–Builds lasting change. Because EMDR targets the underlying material rather than just behavior, the shifts can be deeper and more durable.

As with individual work, EMDR for Couples isn’t the right starting point for every relationship; active safety concerns, ongoing infidelity, or acute crises are typically addressed first. This will be discussed openly during your consultation.
