Intensive Therapy

928-254-0113

In this Four-Hour EMDR Intensive session, we work together to decrease the effects experienced by a single event trauma or a self-limiting belief system and get you back on track to engaging fully in your life. A four-hour EMDR Intensive is a great way to shift your perspective on yourself and your role in the world, moving you into a healthier paradigm. ​

We all have a story. For some of us, the story of our lives has tragic episodes that have shaped us in ways that are painful and sometimes difficult to recognize or endure. Clearing the Story Intensives helps to challenge and change your perspective on your life and your narrative of who you are today.  EMDR is a significant component of this intensive, along with interwoven tools and resources to navigate and heal symptoms.  The duration of your intensive will be determined based on your needs and goals in your consultation call.

You have willingly put the welfare of others before yourself and have made sacrifices to honor your moral code. It's now time to heal yourself.  EMDR Intensive Therapy Sessions provide effective intervention and evidence-based treatment for PTSD, Moral Injury, Depression, Combat Operational Stress, military sexual trauma and mental health issues that may arise from your service to your country or community. Intensives for veterans and first responders are Two to Four-Day in duration. These Intensives are a viable solution for active duty soldiers between deployments.

What is Intensive Therapy?​

Intensive Therapy is a private mental health retreat that consolidates months of weekly sessions into two to four days of uninterrupted outpatient therapy.  It's designed to make profound and rapid changes in your mental health that can shift you into a new and healthier perspective. ​

What makes an Intensive a good choice for treatment?

​​​Intensive therapy lets you explore your unique story and discover your core and habitual thinking, defining you and your current life experiences.  EMDR  is an integral part of intensive therapy and is a therapeutic tool that is highly effective in helping to resolve trauma, PTSD, depression,  and anxiety.  The accelerated pace of therapy in an Intensive makes it both a cost-and time-efficient way to make progress and a wise investment that pays for itself.   

Intensive Therapy lets you tackle your experiences, past or present, that are blocking your future.  Personal, therapeutic transformation is done without months of daunting weekly therapy.  Go deep without distraction and make effective internal changes. Take back your life!

Intensive Therapy is an immersion in healing

HOW DO I SCHEDULE AN INTENSIVE?

​Intensives begin with a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. This is not a therapy session; it's an opportunity to ensure that an intensive session suits your current needs.  Once this is determined, we will discuss the duration of your intensive to customize it to fit your therapeutic goals.  At this time, we will schedule a one-hour intake session and your four-hour or multiple-day intensive.  A 50% deposit will be collected to hold the intensive date. ​ Any questions that you may have can be answered at this time.

HOW DO I KNOW IF AN INTENSIVE IS not A GOOD FIT FOR ME?​

​​An Intensive would not be appropriate if you are actively having thoughts of suicide, self-harming, or harming others or have been diagnosed with a Personality Disorder.  An Intensive is not a recommended if you are active in an addiction to drugs or alcohol. Participating in an Intensive Therapy session requires a minimum of four months of dedicated recovery work after completing treatment.

​CAN I USE MY INSURANCE?

​Intensive Therapy sessions are private pay as insurance does not cover this type of therapy.  You will be provided a Superbill upon request.

​​​WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE A COUNSELOR?

​​An Intensive enhances the therapy that you are already doing with your current counselor.  If your counselor does not specialize in trauma work or does not provide EMDR, intensive can be a helpful adjunct to your treatment.  Intensives can also be beneficial in couples therapy, where one partner may need additional treatment to help with the progress in couples therapy.

​WHAT IF MY SESSION IS COMPLETED EARLIER THAN THE DAYS THAT I SCHEDULED FOR MY INTENSIVE?

​During our consultation, you'll be given enough time to cover your stated issues when your intensive is scheduled. However, to provide comfort for scheduling multiple days, after the first day, if it is agreed to end early, you will only be charged for the time used, rounded up to the half day.

WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN AN INTENSIVE?

If you are coming from out of town to participate in an intensive lodging, transportation, and meals are
not included.  Upon request a list of accommodations and local restaurants is available.

​​WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL?

​​ ​A 50% deposit is required to secure the Intensive date. If your start date is within two weeks from the day you're booked and you cancel, your deposit is non-refundable. Otherwise, you can request in writing a refund of 50% of your deposit for your canceled date. Or you may reschedule your session once. If you cancel again after rescheduling, the deposit will be forfeited.

​​DO YOU CONDUCT TELEMEDICINE FOR INTENSIVE THERAPY SESSIONS?

​Intensive therapy sessions are provided only in person and telemedicine is not offered.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER MY INTENSIVE THERAPY SESSION IS COMPLETED? ​

​Once you complete your Intensive Session, you move on to your daily life. It can take a few days for things to settle in. You may be tired for a few days. Sleep may be slightly impacted, but that should settle down over the following week. Some people report not feeling like the same person that started the Intensive, that their perspectives have changed, as has how they manage emotional experiences. There is often a sense of renewed hope.  At the end of your intensive, we will schedule a 30-minute follow-up call approximately one week later for additional support.  Sometimes an additional intensive may feel like a good option to you and that can be discussed during your follow-up call.
