Extended EMDR Sessions
in Pennsylvania

Deeper healing through concentrated time.

Does it feel like an hour of EMDR every week just isn’t enough?

You spend the first 10 minutes of your session catching up, talking about what you’ve noticed since the last time you saw your therapist.

You and your therapist pick out the themes of your stuck points. You set up your target for processing, and you do about 30 minutes of EMDR.

Just as you reach a critical insight and it starts to hit in your body, your time is up. You feel rushed to close the session down and head into your next thing.

You know EMDR works and that it’s doing more for you than regular therapy has done for you.

But you feel like you could truly break through all the stuff it brings up — if only you had more time with the interventions at one time.

You’re in the right place!

Extended EMDR sessions can help you…

  • break down thought-based or feeling-based loops that make you feel miserable and unresolved

  • lessen your reactivity to negative, stressful, or activating events

  • decrease the amount of time you spend managing your mental health symptoms caused by said stressors

  • increase the amount of time you are able to actually stay present for the activities and relationships you care about

  • get more out of your mental health care — weekly/biweekly sessions stop feeling so repetitive and start opening more doors because extended sessions give you transformative change on that core, recurring issue every time

Allow yourself to imagine that.

More FAQs about EMDR Intensives

  • EMDR extended sessions can be a helpful adjunct for your regular therapy sessions with your established and trusted provider.

    1. Discuss your interest in an adjunct EMDR intensive with your primary therapist. You should have your therapist’s agreement that an EMDR intensive will assist your healing and growth process.

    2. Reach out to me in a free consultation call and state your interest in an EMDR intensive as an adjunct to regular therapy. Let me know about your goals, and we can discuss how you’d like to schedule your 90-minute sessions.

  • EMDR sessions are not directly covered by many health insurances at this time. They are an out-of-pocket service which you may pay for via a credit, debit, or HSA/FSA card. Payment plans are available.

    If your health plan offers reimbursements for out-of-pocket services, you may request a superbill from me to attain reimbursement.

  • Research has shown that, for people who have experienced complex post-traumatic stress, extended sessions promote lasting reduction of trauma symptoms.

    I want not just trauma survivors to experience healing at this level, but also people whose anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, or addictions have a root in unresolved disturbing memories to experience this healing, too.

    A handful of extended EMDR sessions could be a game-changer for your healing journey. I have observed in my clients that extended EMDR work allows them to get unstuck from going around in the same circles, and that intensives provide a sturdy foundation for any subsequent internal work and growth.

  • Longer EMDR sessions provide a greater sense of containment for distressing issues. Read about longer format EMDR therapy on my Intensives page.

  • Schedule a free consultation for EMDR extended sessions with me. During our call, we’ll discuss your goals, your previous therapeutic work, and your readiness for an EMDR intensive, as well as any questions you may have.
