“Do you ever feel like weekly therapy isn’t enough?” Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety, grief, or trauma (past or present). This is where EMDR therapy intensives can help. If you’re looking for an accelerated and focused therapy approach the intensives may be for you.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy intensives are, how they work, and whether they might be the right fit for your healing journey. If you’ve been considering EMDR therapy intensives, this guide will provide the clarity you need to make an informed decision.
What is a EMDR Therapy Intensive?
A therapy intensive is a short-term, highly focused therapeutic experience designed to help you make significant progress in a short period of time. Instead of meeting weekly, EMDR therapy intensives involve extended sessions over one or multiple days, allowing for a deeper dive into your specific challenges.

Anxiety or panic attacks
Grief or loss
Burnout or stress
Self-esteem or self-doubt
Why Choose a EMDR Therapy Intensive Over Weekly Therapy?
Weekly therapy offers consistent, gradual progress, however, your work schedule or family commitments may at times mean that you have to cancel or skip a week or two, which delays the process of completing your therapy goals. EMDR therapy intensives are perfect for clients who:
Are motivated and ready to commit to focused deep therapeutic work
Want to focus on a specific issue
Have limited time in their schedule for ongoing therapy
How long is a EMDR therapy intensive?
It varies, but most are 3-4 hours in one day or split across several days. Learn more at EMDR Intensives. What happens after the intensive? We create a follow-up plan for continued support, whether that’s additional sessions or tools to use on your own.
