What is an EMDR intensive?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is an evidenced-based therapy modality that was created specifically for the treatment of a range of unprocessed traumas.

As highly focused treatment plan, EMDR intensives are designed to address a variety of struggles, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, various phobias, panic disorders, relationship wounds, betrayal trauma, childhood trauma, grief, and more.

During these sessions, Robyn and her team use a combination of EMDR, Mindful Self Compassion, Integrative Trauma Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to effectively address your struggles in a set time frame.

How does EMDR therapy help you process trauma?

Unprocessed trauma can have a long term impact on your physical health. The goal of EMDR – and EMDR intensives – is to release stress and trauma from your body and mind, and give you the ability to discharge the energy that was previously used during fight-or-flight.

As we reprocess traumatic memories with EMDR therapy, we help the brain to integrate the memory, shifting the information to the part of the brain that stores memories and learnings. The memories will no longer feel distressing in your body, or activate your stress response system. 

Scheduling and pricing

Since EMDR intensives are customized to your needs, time frames and session lengths can vary. These time frames can range from 2-10 days, with 4-6 hours per day of therapeutic work depending on your set treatment plan.

The cost of an EMDR intensive is up to $1,200 / day, which includes 6 hours of therapy plus prep time.

“Robyn – I can't even fully put into words how incredible those three days were.  I feel more free than I ever thought was possible. Thank you for creating such a safe space for me to be able to fully face my pain and feel it and release it!  You are such a gift in my story!”
“My EMDR intensive was just what I needed to help me move past my childhood trauma. Now if it comes to mind, I no longer feel physically ill. I feel more empowered. I also loved the thoughtful touches included in the intensive, like meditation and stretching."
"Wow. I am so thankful I was able to spend three days working through my timeline of relationship patterns and anxiety. I made some beautiful connections that really helped me to resolve some difficult memories that were triggering in my relationship. Thank you so much for creating this program so I don't have to dig this stuff up weekly!"
"Robyn really understands the mind-body connection. She helped me process my trauma in a safe, supportive, and comforting way. Her space is comfortable, and the breaks made this experience feel more like self-care instead of painful hard work. I feel a lot of relief."
