Have you tried traditional therapy, but still feel stuck?
I am excited to be offering EMDR intensive therapy!
What is it? I am currently offering EMDR intensive therapy sessions ranging from 3 hours to 3 days. We will use EMDR therapy to uncover and heal past traumas, stuck beliefs or anything else you are not moving past as quickly as you would like.
By using these longer EMDR intensive sessions, we are able to make progress much more quickly because we are not being interrupted by starting and stopping and losing ground between sessions. I have seen clients make an incredible amount of progress in a short time.
In fact, I am so excited to do therapy in this way that I am no longer offering traditional hourly therapy for new clients.
How does it work? We will meet for approximately 1-3 sessions beforehand to get history, develop a plan and make sure you have plenty of resources and strategies to manage the emotions that come up. (Current clients may already be at this point).
During the longer sessions, we will take regular breaks to stretch, walk around, or get a drink. I will have water, tea and snacks for those who meet in person at my office, or we can meet online. 6-hour sessions will have a 1-hour lunch break.
2 and 3 day Intensives: 2 and 3 day intensives are available for those who want the most accelerated way to work through trauma and difficult experiences.
Research: This model of therapy is extensively backed by research and is shown to be more effective and efficient than traditional hourly therapy. Click HERE to see the research!
Does insurance cover it? Insurance may cover the preparation sessions leading up to the intensive as well as follow-up sessions, but the intensive session itself is a non-covered expense and will be self-pay, paid in advance.
While this is an expense, it may be the least expensive option for you in the long run as it's very possible you will not need as many therapy sessions overall. I do accept HSA cards.
What if I already have a therapist? That's great! I enjoy working collaboratively with other therapists and it is usually no problem to do the EMDR Intensive sessions with me and then resume working with your current therapist.
What if I am not in Ohio? You have the option to travel to Ohio and meet with me for 3 consecutive days of 3 and 4-hour sessions. Upon returning to your home state, I will help you get linked with a local therapist for follow-up.
EMDR intensives are not a fit for everybody, but may be a great fit for you!
Are you ready to get on the path to getting unstuck and leveling up your progress?
