Focused, immersive EMDR work — designed to move you further, faster.
A concentrated alternative to weekly therapy for people who are ready to feel different now, not eventually.
"Isn't years of weekly therapy the only way to really work through trauma?"
It's one way — but not the only way, and not always the most effective one. Weekly 50-minute sessions require you to reopen difficult material and then close it back up before you've fully processed it, week after week.
An intensive removes the stop-start. You get sustained, uninterrupted time to go deep, stay in it, and come out the other side within the same few days — with none of the momentum lost to a week's gap in between.
Two ways to do the work, depending on what you need.
EMDR Intensive
Dedicated, focused sessions held over three consecutive days at my Great Barrington office — structured entirely around your goals.

The same focused EMDR work, paired with restorative add-ons like acupuncture and massage through Emma Dweck — a fully immersive few days of healing.

Likely A Good Fit
- You've done insight work already and are ready to move through something specific
- Your schedule makes weekly sessions hard to sustain consistently
- You want focused, accelerated progress on one or two clear goals
- You're stable day-to-day but stuck on a specific pattern or memory
Not Yet A Fit
- You're in an acute crisis or actively unsafe
- You're newer to therapy and haven't yet built any coping foundation
- You prefer weekly EMDR and the steady rhythm of ongoing sessions
- You don't yet have a support system to return to after the intensive

Book a ConsultFrequently Asked Questions
How long is an EMDR intensive?
The standard intensive is 3 days, totaling 17.5 hours of dedicated EMDR work. For clients already in ongoing therapy with me, shorter, customized intensive lengths may also be available — ask about this during your consultation call.
Do I need to be an existing client to book an intensive?
No — intensives are open to new clients as well as those already in ongoing therapy with me.
Will you coordinate with my current therapist or prescriber?
Yes. Every intensive package includes collaboration calls with up to 2 of your providers, so your care stays connected after the intensive ends.
What happens after the intensive is over?
You'll leave with the intensive workbook and a review session to help you integrate the work, plus a plan for continued support with your existing providers.
Is an intensive as effective as weekly therapy?
Yes — the concentrated, uninterrupted format is designed to produce outcomes equivalent to approximately a year of weekly therapy, in a fraction of the time.
