EMDR Intensive Therapy in Seattle:
Your path to accelerated healing and emotional freedom
Are you ready to experience profound healing in days rather than months? At my Seattle-based location, I offer specialized EMDR Intensive Therapy sessions designed to help you break free from trauma and embrace a more fulfilling life.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Intensive Therapy offers a powerful path to healing trauma and emotional distress. Unlike traditional weekly sessions, intensives provide concentrated, immersive treatment that can achieve meaningful progress in just a few days.
If you've been carrying the weight of trauma, struggling with painful memories, or feeling stuck despite your best efforts to move forward, intensive EMDR offers a powerful pathway to healing that works with your brain's natural capacity for recovery.
In my peaceful Seattle office, we create a safe, supportive environment where you can process past experiences and develop new perspectives, all while building resilience for the future. Unlike traditional weekly therapy that can stretch healing over months or years, EMDR Intensives compress that timeline, allowing for deeper processing and faster breakthrough moments. The benefits extend far beyond trauma recovery—through this powerful therapeutic process, you can experience transformative changes across many aspects of your life.

Why Choose EMDR Intensives?
This intensive approach offers several distinct advantages over traditional weekly therapy:
Accelerated Progress
Experience meaningful change in days rather than months. This concentrated format allows for deeper processing and faster breakthrough moments, helping you move forward in your life sooner. The momentum you build in a single intensive session can accomplish what might take months in weekly therapy.
Personalized Care
Your story is unique, and your healing journey should be too. I tailor each intensive session to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the focused attention and support you deserve. We work at your pace, adapting the approach based on what emerges during our time together.
Lasting Results
EMDR targets the root causes of emotional distress, not just the symptoms. By accessing your brain's natural healing capabilities, you move towards sustainable, long-lasting meaningful change. The neurological shifts that occur during intensive processing create enduring transformation.
Comprehensive Support
Throughout your intensive experience, you'll receive unwavering guidance and support, ensuring you feel secure and understood every step of the way. The extended time allows us to thoroughly prepare you, process material deeply, and integrate your experiences before you leave.
The Power of Concentrated Processing
There's something uniquely powerful about staying with the therapeutic process for extended periods. In weekly therapy, just as you're making progress in a session, you have to stop and wait another week to continue. This can create discontinuity and slow momentum. Intensives eliminate that problem—you can follow a thread of processing all the way through, working with memories and emotions as they arise naturally, creating deeper integration and more complete resolution.
EMDR Intensive Therapy offers a unique opportunity to achieve these transformative outcomes in a condensed timeframe, allowing you to move forward in your life with renewed purpose and vitality.
