EMDR Intensives

Sometimes the hour ends before you are ready to stop.

You have found the words. You are getting somewhere. And then it is time to wrap up. EMDR intensives offer a longer session, with time to settle in and work at a pace that fits you.

Start with a one-hour consultation for $100. Meet your therapist, ask questions, and see whether an intensive feels like a good fit. If it is not a good fit after the consultation, let our team know and we will refund your $100 consultation fee. There is no obligation to book an intensive.

Your consultation is separate from the two-hour intensive, which starts at $550. The fit-based refund applies only to the $100 consultation fee.

Available in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Garner, and virtually across North Carolina.

When one hour does not feel like enough

Weekly therapy can be exactly what you need. But sometimes 50 minutes leaves you stopping just as the deeper work begins.

An EMDR intensive creates a longer, uninterrupted space to focus on one treatment goal with an EMDR-trained therapist. It may be a fit if you are working through trauma, grief, anxiety, a distressing experience, or a pattern that still feels stuck.

You do not need to know exactly what to target before reaching out. We will help you decide whether this format makes sense for you.

Before scheduling an intensive, we will talk through what is bringing you in, what you hope to work on, and whether an extended session is clinically appropriate.

Your therapist will create a personalized plan and pace the work around your nervous system, not a predetermined agenda. Breaks and grounding support are built in as needed.

EMDR intensives are private pay and start at $550 for a two-hour session. HSA and FSA funds may be used when eligible.

Already have a therapist? With your permission, we can collaborate with them so the intensive supports the work you are already doing.
