Trauma Therapy Intensives: Feel Better Faster

---

A Trauma Therapy Intensive is an accelerated form of therapy. We will meet for a focused period of therapy, ranging from a few hours to several days, designed to help you process and heal from trauma more quickly and deeply than traditional weekly sessions. It combines several trauma therapy techniques in a safe, structured format.

Many people wonder if working through trauma intensively — over a few hours or days — is too much. But actually, research shows the opposite.

Intensive trauma therapy is well tolerated and can help people feel better, faster.
Studies have shown that doing focused trauma therapy over a short period (like a few days) can lead to faster results than weekly sessions — and it may even lower the chances of dropping out early.
van Woudenberg et al., 2018 | Bongaerts et al., 2021

EMDR intensives have been shown to reduce trauma symptoms in a short space of time.
Even a few days of EMDR-focused therapy has helped people make real progress, showing that it’s not just possible — it’s effective.

Greenwald et al., 2020

This approach is also safe and promising for complex trauma.
For people with long-standing or layered trauma, intensive EMDR therapy has been found to be a safe and effective way to begin healing.

Logie et al., 2021

It can save time — emotionally and practically.
One of the reasons intensives can be so powerful is that you’re not starting and stopping every week. You spend less time:

• Settling in
• Talking about day-to-day stress
• Repeating coping strategies
• Re-regulating after every session

That means we can go deeper, stay focused, and help you feel better sooner.

Start by scheduling a free 30-minute consultation. We’ll talk through your needs, answer any questions, and decide together if an intensive is the right fit for you. If you have any questions feel free to contact us below. 

After the intensive, we’ll have a follow-up session to help you integrate the work and explore next steps. Some clients return for additional intensives, continue with their own therapist, or check in as needed.

Absolutely. Many clients come for a trauma intensive while continuing with their current therapist. I’m happy to coordinate with them (with your permission) to ensure continuity of care.

We can work with a wide range of trauma — including childhood trauma, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, medical trauma, grief, relationship trauma, accidents, and other overwhelming life experiences.

Weekly therapy offers gradual progress over time. A trauma intensive allows us to work deeply, without the stop-start nature of weekly sessions. It’s ideal if you want faster results, have limited time, or are ready to make a big shift.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you want to make meaningful progress in a shorter time frame, an intensive might be right for you. We’ll explore this together during a free consultation before booking.

That’s ok. You don’t need any previous experience. We’ll begin with a thorough assessment and preparation session to make sure you feel ready, safe, and supported throughout.

Yes — intensives are carefully structured and include preparation and integration to ensure emotional safety. We move at your pace, and I’ll provide resourcing tools to help you regulate and process what comes up.

Yes, Trauma Therapy Intensives — including EMDR — can be done safely and effectively online. I use Zoom and tailor the pace to ensure a supportive and confidential experience from the comfort of your own space.

These intensives are ideal for adults dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, childhood abuse, single-incident trauma, or those feeling stuck in traditional talk therapy. They’re also great for people preparing for big life events or needing fast, focused support.

Some insurance plans may reimburse a portion of the cost of an Intensive. I recommend calling your insurance company first in order to get details about your specific plan.  I’m happy to provide more information to help with this process. 

Trauma Therapy Intensives give you the results you would get from months of therapy in a much shorter period of time.  If you add up the cost of weekly therapy, a Trauma Therapy Intensive is actually more cost effective. Instead of waiting months, you can get the same results in a few days.
