Trauma processing within 1-2 weeks with our multi-day programs in
Wilmington, NC
What is an EMDR Intensive?
An EMDR Intensive specializes in therapeutic sessions designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma in a shorter, more concentrated time frame. This format allows for more profound exploration of trauma-related issues that may not be fully addressed in standard therapy sessions. It’s particularly beneficial for those who may be dealing with overwhelming anxiety, trauma, or PTSD, as it provides an opportunity to dive into and work through these experiences more quickly.
With our 2-4 day programs you can see result similar to 3-8 months of weekly therapy. This treatment is geared for individuals seeking a focused mental health treatment program to process their trauma within a short span of time.

Step-by-Step Process
-
Treatment begins with a free 30 minute phone consultation to discuss your needs, goals, and any specific concerns.
This call allows you to ask questions and determine if EMDR intensives are the right fit for you. During the consult you will be provided a treatment cost estimation based on your goals/budget.
No pressure will be put on you to book an intensive. A follow-up email regarding all the details we discussed will be provided shortly after the consultation with link back this page to pay for treatment.
Payment for prep session(s) and treatment will lock in your treatment dates discussed during consultation.
Payment will be considered a refundable deposit up till the initial preparatory session. Refunds will not be provided after the initial preparatory session.
-
During the preparatory session(s) we will gather detailed information about your history, symptoms, and current challenges. Identify the issues or “targets” we will be processing.
We will also create a strong foundation of phase II skills. I will provide psychoeducation of EMDR, the phases, coping skills to use outside session, and we will use EMDR resourcing skills in session.
This session is meant to be a buffer between you and the intensive. It gives you the chance to ask any questions, feel prepared, and also feel safe within our therapeutic relationship. As the clinician will have a better idea if you would be able to effectively process in the intensive or will have to recommend a different treatment approach before you fully invest into intensives treatment.
100% refund (for intensives bundle) and recommendations can be provided during the first prep session if treatment is not a good fit.
-
Collaboratively we will participate in a series of focused EMDR sessions (When and how long will be determined in consultation). During the session, you will be guided to focus on specific memories while using bilateral stimulation techniques (e.g., tapping, guided eye movements, buzzers, headphones). We will engage in breaks on an hourly basis or as needed.
Payment of service is required no later than the day before the service or the treatment will be canceled. You can pay through the website and use a payment plan or I can provide an invoice that can be paid online
-
Once treatment and processing is complete we will schedule a follow-up session to review progress, address any lingering concerns, and reinforce coping strategies. In this session we will develop an aftercare plan for services.
FAQs
Is this program covered by my insurance?
EMDR intensive therapy is not covered by insurance due to its format and the way it diverges from traditional therapy methods. Most insurance plans have specific guidelines regarding the frequency and duration of sessions, typically covering standard weekly appointments. However, EMDR intensives can involve several hours of therapy within a shorter time frame, which may not align with these guidelines. As a result, clients seeking this focused approach might need to explore out-of-pocket payment options.
When do I need to pay for treatment?
After the consultation, you will receive a summary email. If you decide to proceed a payment for the preparatory session and treatment will be required to officially lock in schedule dates discussed in consultation. You can opt to purchase a “ half day” initially if you want to try out this format before fully committing to a multi-day program .
This payment can be considered a refundable deposit up till after the initial preparatory session. At the end of the prep session you and your therapist can decide to move forward or to provide recommendations for more appropriate treatment. Refunds are provided via Square Space.

What do you recommend for those traveling?
If you are traveling I recommend having lodging accommodations on days you are processing. With EMDR you will experience a variety of symptoms after processing including: fatigue, triggers, insights, and dreams. With the 4 hour session format provided you may experience more fatigue than a typical 1 hour session. To get the most out this experience take the time to relax and treat this as a mental health retreat. Be sure to plan accordingly.
