EMDR & IFS Intensive
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) uses knowledge from neuroscience to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, and support the nervous system in healing. EMDR is a trauma-based treatment; it can be used to target specific traumatic experiences as well as anxiety, relationship challenges, and other difficulties in daily life where you might be wanting focused support.
Internal Family Systems is a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach to therapy, based in understanding ourselves through an inner system made up of our core self and various parts. By supporting people to understand various parts of themselves, and to access their Self, from that core, individuals come to understand and befriend their parts. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness. Our parts shift only when there is trust to be there, connected & attuned.
Intensives are personalized to meet your needs in terms of schedule and goals with therapeutic work. Intensives provide additional, concentrated support in a shorter amount of time (i.e. 5 hours on a weekend day).
Intensives Include:
Consultation and assessment to help identify the focus of the intensive, pre-screening and conversation to ensure the intensive is the best fit for you
Customized treatment program with targeted treatment goals
Post-treatment follow-up with resources and opportunity for further support
Often 2-3 days of intensive is recommended for an intensive experience
The treatment phase of the intensive is typically three separate sessions per day over a weekend. Yet, the structure is catered to meet each clients need. There will be breaks for meals, rest, writing/reflection, check-ins and self-care
Example Structure for one day of an EMDR or IFS tailored intensive:
60-minute (pre-intensive) assessment/consultation
3 hours of therapy for the half-day with 1 hour buffer time for breaks
60-minute (post-intensive) therapy session processing
Cost: $1,500/day (5 clinical contact hours)
Note: Insurance does not cover the cost of intensives. Please expect that this will be a cash-pay service that is not reimbursed by your insurance company.
