EMDR Intensives in Vermont

Focused, accelerated trauma treatment designed to create meaningful progress in a concentrated format.

What Is an EMDR Intensive?

An EMDR Intensive is a structured, multi-day format of trauma treatment designed to accelerate progress.

Instead of meeting weekly over several months, treatment is delivered in a concentrated 2–3 day format.

This approach allows for:

  • Sustained focus on target memories

  • Reduced time between processing sessions

  • Increased therapeutic momentum

  • Structured preparation and integration

Intensives include a pre-intensive preparation session and a post-intensive integration plan.

Consultation is required to determine clinical appropriateness.

Who EMDR Intensives Are For

EMDR Intensives may be appropriate for:

  • Professionals with limited availability

  • Athletes during off-season or injury recovery

  • First responders managing cumulative exposure

  • Individuals preparing for major life transitions

  • Clients traveling for specialized trauma treatment

  • Those seeking accelerated progress rather than weekly therapy

Intensives are not appropriate for every clinical presentation. A consultation will determine readiness and fit.

Structure and Format

EMDR Intensives are typically structured as:

  • A pre-intensive consultation and preparation session

  • Approximately 12–15 clinical hours delivered over 2–3 consecutive days

  • Structured target sequencing

  • Breaks and regulation periods built into the schedule

  • A post-intensive integration plan

Intensives may be conducted locally or designed for clients traveling for care.

Scheduling is coordinated individually based on clinical goals and availability.

Is an EMDR Intensive Right for You?

EMDR Intensives are designed for individuals who are ready to engage in focused, structured trauma treatment.

This format is intentional, contained, and clinically guided. Preparation and stabilization are prioritized before trauma processing begins.

If you are considering an intensive, the first step is a consultation to determine readiness, clinical appropriateness, and scheduling options.
