What Are EMDR Intensives?
EMDR intensives in our practice are concentrated therapy sessions that span one to several days, as opposed to traditional weekly appointments. Our immersive experience allows for continuous, uninterrupted progress, enabling you to delve deeply into the root causes of your distress and work through them more efficiently. Each intensive is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that you receive the most effective and personalized care possible.
The Power of Intensives vs. Regular EMDR Therapy
Traditional EMDR therapy typically involves one-hour sessions conducted once a week. While this approach is beneficial for many, it can sometimes prolong the healing process, especially for those with complex trauma or who are experiencing significant distress. EMDR intensives, on the other hand, provide a concentrated therapeutic experience, allowing for sustained focus and momentum in your healing journey.
Some of the key benefits of EMDR intensives are:
- Accelerated Healing
Intensives provide the opportunity to address multiple traumatic memories and associated negative beliefs in a shorter period, often leading to quicker and more profound relief. - Reduced Delays
With back-to-back sessions, there is less time for re-traumatization or new stressors to interfere with your progress, enhancing the continuity and effectiveness of treatment. - In-Depth Processing
The extended time frame allows for a deeper exploration of issues, facilitating comprehensive processing and integration of traumatic experiences.
How EMDR Intensives Work At Our Practice
How do I learn more about EMDR intensives?
Information for EMDR intensives at Sage Minds Counseling is available for anyone to learn more about. By reaching out to our practice, you can get in touch with one of our specialists who can provide more details about the intensive and how you can get scheduled for one.
What is the cost of an intensive?
- Full day intensives cost $1000 per day and include 6 hours of therapy.
- A minimum 50% deposit will be required to book and confirm your appointment.
- Any remaining balance will be paid on the first day of the scheduled intensive.
- We like to start with one day, but if any additional hours are needed they are billed in half-day increments (3 hours). The need for extra days will depend on the client's needs and what the therapist deems is appropriate for their intensive experience.
How long does the intensive last?
EMDR intensives with our practice can range anywhere between 1 to 3 days depending on how the client has progressed on day one. How many intensive days are required and scheduled can be discussed between you and the therapist. A full intensive day works from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM with a scheduled lunch in between.
