EMDR Intensive Program
Feel Better, Faster
Our Intensive program utilizes evidence-based practices including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), PE (Prolonged Exposure), Yoga Nidra, and Trauma Informed Yoga to expedite healing from a PTSD injury. Research suggests that intensive treatment can provide the same results as weekly therapy in a fraction of the time. The term “intensive” may sound intimidating, it simply refers to treatment being provided over a short amount of time versus being spread out over months, or even years.

Who’s a good fit?This program is a good fit for both first responders and non-first responders struggling with PTSD and ill effects of past or recent trauma—with a willingness and readiness to do the hard work of processing this trauma in an intensive format. Individuals may have a current therapist, however it is not a requirement of the program. It is recommended that individuals addicted to drugs or alcohol actively using within the last six months, and/or who are unable to abstain from substances for the duration of the program or those who have attempted suicide in the last three months, seek individual treatment to gain stability prior to beginning outpatient intensive treatment. Our program is not a good fit for anyone charged with, or arrested for: rape, sexual assault, or physical assault.

Why choose intensive treatment?The choice between weekly therapy and intensive treatment is a personal one. For individuals with limited time to dedicate to weekly therapy, an intensive is an effective option as you can accomplish in days what may take months or years with weekly sessions. Our intensive program is unique in that we incorporate evidence based treatments, like EMDR and Prolonged Exposure, with mindfulness and therapeutic yoga. Another benefit is being able to engage in these treatments from the comfort of your own home.

How do I choose from the Intensive options?Our practice offers an a la carte style menu that allows you to choose the type of therapeutic approach, as well as the length of treatment. We offer four or eight day intensives, and EMDR only, or a combination of EMDR and Prolonged Exposure/Trauma Incident Reduction. With the combination of therapeutic techniques, you have the benefit of working with two skilled clinicians. There are benefits to all of these options, though we recommend that individuals with significant childhood trauma and/or complex PTSD seek the combination approach and will likely benefit from the 8 day intensive over the 4 day intensive.

Do you accept non-first responders for intensive treatment?Yes. Our practice maintains 1-2 non first responder openings each month in either the four or eight day program.
