Virtual EMDR Therapy Intensives
To boost therapy outcomes, I have specialized all our treatments to be virtual EMDR intensives.
What’s an Intensive?
EMDR intensives are longer sessions that happen over a shorter timespan (2-5 hours versus 45-60 minutes in traditional therapy). The custom treatment plan can last from just a few days to a few weeks. They’re like “short bursts of intensive healing” because they are more focused than traditional talk therapy and can produce rapid resolution of trauma over just a few sessions.
What’s included in an EMDR Intensive?
-
An extensive 120-minute intake interview: To help us both understand your goals and desired therapy outcomes. We’ll get to know each other and make sure you feel comfortable. We will design our time together for the best outcomes based on your preferences, goals, and needs.
-
Customized treatment plan: To identify your pain points, triggers, limiting beliefs, body sensations, and treatment goals.
-
Break times: To give you opportunity for reflection and integration of therapy techniques.
-
A post-treatment follow-up: To check in on your progress and overall wellness. To support your shifts in treatment and to identify any needs for follow-up sessions, if desired.
-
Secure HIPAA-compliant online portal: To ensure trust, confidentiality, and privacy, all our meetings will be held through a secure and reliable online video portal. You will be provided a private video link with instructions before each session.

Below are the EMDR intensive models I offer. Each treatment plan is personalized with targeted goals based on your personal experience.
Full Day EMDR Therapy Intensive
A full-day EMDR therapy intensive provides focused, in-depth support with Annie’s undivided attention and energy, helping you break through emotional barriers, gain clarity, and experience meaningful progress in a single transformative session.
-
Option 1: For maximum results in the shortest time, we will meet for three full day intensives (9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, an hour lunch) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, I will recommend you take time out for reflection, integration of your work in therapy, self-care, rest, and time for movement outdoors. We will schedule a 1 hour follow up 2-3 weeks after the completion of your intensive
-
Option 2: We will meet for three or more full day intensives (5 hours with an hour lunch) over a 1 month period. My availability is typically Tuesday and Thursday, between the hours of 9AM and 3PM.
Recent Trauma EMDR Therapy Intensive
This intensive is for you if you’ve recently been through a traumatic event (approximately within the last ~3 months) or have been experiencing intense ongoing emotional trauma, grief, or pain after an experience in your life. Not sure if that is you? Learn more here.
We will schedule two to eight, 2-hour long sessions over the course of one to four weeks. This will allow you to get the fastest relief from your recent trauma.
GRIEF, LOSS, & BREAKUPS
This intensive is for you if you’ve recently experienced a painful loss and you are experiencing intense ongoing emotions, distress, and grief that is making it difficult for you to live your life or has left you feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Not sure if that is you? Learn more here.
We will schedule two to eight, 2-hour long sessions over the course of two to eight weeks. This will allow you to get the fastest relief from your recent trauma.
sUPPLEMENTAL EMDR THERAPY
Having an established, supportive relationship with a primary therapist can be an incredible resource and often life-changing. However, there are times that you may feel "stuck" in therapy. We can support you by providing brief EMDR intensive therapy as a supplement or "adjunct" to your regular talk therapy to accelerate the healing process of trauma or other pain points that have not resolved with other forms of therapy.
We can partner with your primary therapist in providing a specialized therapeutic approach to help you move through those acute pain points or where you feel "stuck".
Reminder: All of our sessions are held virtually via a secure, HIPAA-compliant online video platform.
IS A PERSONALIZED EMDR INTENSIVE RIGHT FOR ME?
EMDR therapy intensives might be a good fit for you if…
-
You are fed up with being stuck, distraught, or in pain and want to feel better – fast.
-
You find the weekly (often month/year-long) therapy model too painful, too slow, or not fitting for your schedule or lifestyle.
-
You’re busy and have a lot on your plate.
-
You want customized treatment that works for your schedule, budget, goals, and timeline.
-
You want personalized, committed attention from your therapist for your specific trauma or problem.
-
You’re ready for relief – now!
why virtual?
Because it’s awesome and more convenient for all of us.
Benefits of virtual sessions include:
-
You can be in the comfort of your own home (or chosen space) for 100% of the treatment.
-
Less scheduling issues.
-
Easier coordination around work and other commitments.
-
No commute, traffic, or parking hassle.
-
Be comfortable, wear what you want, have comfort items nearby (blankets, pillows, fans, etc.)
-
Have your favorite drinks and snacks on hand.
-
Don’t worry about doing your hair, makeup, dressing up, or waiting around in an office.
-
Relax about potential worries of others seeing or “judging” you – a huge benefit of virtual therapy is that you can feel safe, relaxed, and private in your space. This also helps in creating a trusting, comfortable environment with your therapist!
-
If you have a pet – feel free to let it snooze by your side or cuddle up in your lap – animals are wonderful companions and can in fact positively affect our emotions! (We will surely have our fur babies by our side at times. 🐶)
-
Feel more secure and private in your own space.
-
We all stay healthy and safe (yep, Covid-19 is still around).
