EMDR Treatment

ASSISTANCE TAILORED TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL JOURNEY

EMDR Therapy

Individual counseling using EMDR Treatment and EMDR Intensives can provide many with relief and a faster path to healing from trauma.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING) THERAPY IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED THERAPY FOR TRAUMA HEALING

EMDR Therapy uses specific eye movements or other types of bi-lateral stimulation.

Your therapist will guide you through this process to help your brain process a traumatic memory or experience, leading to feeling less triggered over a faster time period than traditional talk therapy.

BENEFITS OF EMDR TREATMENT

  • Progress for those who feel “stuck” in their healing process
  • Opportunity for relief when other methods of therapy have not worked
  • Faster path to healing and peace
  • Reduces the intensity of distressing memories, making them feel less overwhelming
  • Builds new, healthier beliefs about yourself and your experiences
  • Effective for both recent and long-term traumas

Common Reasons People Seek EMDR Therapy

  • Trauma and PTSD, including single events or chronic/complex trauma
  • Processing deep-rooted pain from childhood or past experiences
  • Addressing underlying causes of depression, panic, and anxiety disorders
  • Reducing the impact of distressing memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
  • Rebuilding self-esteem and resolving negative self-beliefs
  • Enhancing emotional resilience and coping skills

EMDR Intensives

Focused Healing Through EMDR Intensives

EMDR Intensives offer a concentrated approach to trauma therapy, giving clients extended time to process painful experiences and find relief more quickly. This focused format allows for deeper progress in fewer sessions, supporting healing from trauma, anxiety, and negative self-beliefs.

Here’s How EMDR Intensives Work

Healing from trauma doesn’t always require months or years of weekly sessions. EMDR Intensives are a focused, extended version of trauma therapy that allow you to spend more time in each session and experience relief more quickly. Just like standard EMDR, bilateral stimulation is used to process painful experiences and reduce their impact on your daily life.

Think of it like this:

Weekly EMDR Therapy (x4) ≈ 1 month of progress

4-Hour EMDR Intensive ≈ 1 month of progress

8-Hour EMDR Intensive ≈ 2 months of progress

Who Might Benefit from EMDR Intensives?

An EMDR Intensive could be a good fit if you:

  • Feel like you’ve hit a plateau in traditional therapy
  • Want to move through challenges at a faster pace
  • Are dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or negative core beliefs
  • Have limited time for weekly appointments
  • Are preparing for a major life transition and want additional support

EMDR Intensives: Common Questions

HOW LONG IS AN EMDR INTENSIVE?
The length depends on your goals. Some people benefit from a half-day (about 4 hours), while others may do a full-day or even multiple days in a row. Your therapist will work with you to design the best fit.
Yes. At Insight Counseling and Wellness, EMDR Intensives are offered exclusively through secure telehealth. We use adapted methods for bilateral stimulation—such as tapping or digital tools—so you can experience the full benefits of EMDR from the comfort of your own home.

Yes. EMDR is a well-researched, evidence-based therapy. The intensive format uses the same structure and safety measures as weekly sessions—just with more focused time. Your therapist will ensure you have grounding skills and support throughout the process.

Intensives are most often used for trauma and PTSD, but they can also be highly effective for anxiety, depression, panic, grief, and negative beliefs about yourself. They are especially useful if you’ve been feeling stuck and want to see change more quickly.
Sometimes they do, but not always. Some people find an intensive is all they need, while others combine it with ongoing therapy for continued growth. It’s a flexible approach tailored to your needs.
No. EMDR Intensives are not billable through insurance and are only available as self-pay. This allows us to provide a customized and extended therapy format without the restrictions of insurance coverage.
If you’re looking for faster results, need a therapy format that works with your schedule, or want additional support before a significant life event, an EMDR Intensive might be a strong option. The best way to know is to schedule a consultation with our trained EMDR Intensive therapist.
