EMDR Therapy Intensives in Scottsdale AZ: Accelerated treatment and sustainable change

Specialized therapy for healing and growth.

 

The struggles we face in the present are frequently tied to past experiences, leaving us burdened by negative beliefs about our worth, safety, security, power, and sense of agency. With this in mind, I offer a transformative approach called EMDR Therapy Intensives—an accelerated form of Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). This powerful modality can be used as a primary therapy or as a complement to the work you are already doing with your primary therapist.

I specialize in supporting the following areas:

Relational, developmental, and complex trauma

Attachment-related concerns

Parenting, pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum

Relational concerns

Anxiety

Depression and mood-related concerns

Grief

Addiction and recovery

Life transitions

Life purpose and meaning

Performance enhancement

Self-growth

What can EMDR help with:

EMDR therapy is a versatile therapeutic approach that effectively addresses both psychological and physical symptoms resulting from adverse life experiences. Its benefits extend to various individuals, including those impacted by trauma, individuals with anxiety and depression, individuals struggling relationally, those experiencing grief or loss, performance enhancement seekers, and personal growth seekers.

In essence, EMDR therapy is a powerful tool for anyone seeking healing, performance enhancement, or personal growth, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals.

EMDR Intesives

What is an EMDR Intensive?

EMDR Therapy Intensives are extended, structured EMDR sessions specifically designed to accelerate your healing journey. By incorporating longer session lengths and increased frequency, this format allows for a more focused and efficient therapeutic experience, tailored to meet your unique needs and treatment goals.

Although they’re called “EMDR Therapy Intensives,” the experience is designed to feel anything but overwhelming. This transformative approach prioritizes your pace, comfort, and individual needs, ensuring the process feels supportive and empowering—not intense.

With EMDR Therapy Intensives, you’ll benefit from a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific objectives. You’ll have the opportunity to spend extended time in sessions and the flexibility to meet multiple times in a single week. Additionally, you’ll receive a personalized workbook to help you track your progress and insights before, during, and after the intensive program, ensuring you have the tools you need for lasting change.

Sessions are offered in 90-minute and 3-hour increments and are available in the following formats:

  • “Intensively”: Ongoing sessions scheduled at a frequency that best suits your needs, allowing for a continuous therapeutic process.

  • “Intensive”: A defined number of sessions scheduled over a concentrated period, typically taking place over 3 to 5 days. This format provides an immersive experience, enabling you to dive deep into your healing work in a supportive and structured environment.

What is Adjunct EMDR?

Adjunct EMDR therapy is designed to complement and enhance your ongoing work with your primary therapist. Offered in an intensive format, this approach targets specific treatment goals, such as traumatic memories or intrusive symptoms, to accelerate progress in traditional therapy.

By focusing on key areas, adjunct EMDR can help overcome stuck points, facilitate deeper healing, and enrich the overall therapeutic process. This therapy is supplemental and does not replace or interrupt your ongoing therapeutic relationship with your primary therapist.

I collaborate closely with both clients and their primary therapists to ensure a cohesive, supportive experience throughout the adjunct EMDR process. Typically, adjunct therapy is short-term, consisting of 3 to 9 sessions, and is centered on resolving specific memories or symptoms that may be hindering therapeutic progress.

Adjunct EMDR

Why consider Adjunct EMDR:

You might sense that something deeper needs to shift, yet you’re unsure how to fully embrace a new experience of yourself with your current therapist. Despite gaining cognitive insights, your body still feels unsettled. Now, you're curious about how adjunct EMDR therapy can support this process alongside your primary therapist.

Perhaps, in collaboration with your current therapist, you’ve recognized that past experiences are influencing your present and that your concerns may be rooted in trauma. Now, you feel ready to engage in the healing process through adjunct EMDR therapy.

Maybe you’ve gained valuable insights through your current therapeutic work and developed resources to manage daily triggers. Now, you’re wondering if adjunct EMDR can help shift your mind and body’s response to those triggers, so daily management is no longer necessary.

I admire your courage in taking this next step.
