Virtual EMDR Therapy Intensives in MO, IL, MA & NV
A quicker way to heal from trauma
Still feeling stuck, even after months or years of therapy?
You’ve done the work. You’ve shown up. But somehow, the pain still lingers. The same triggers keep showing up in your relationships, your body still feels on edge, and you’re tired of circling the same patterns without relief.
Maybe talk therapy helped some, but it hasn’t gotten to the root. Or maybe the progress feels too slow and you're craving a deeper shift.
You’re not broken. You just need a different kind of support. EMDR intensives offer a focused, accelerated path forward so you can finally move through what’s been holding you back.
How it works
-
Initial consult – We’ll talk through your needs, goals, and whether an intensive is the right fit.
-
Pre-intensive prep – You’ll complete a few guided exercises to help you feel ready, safe, and supported going in. I will work on creating a custom workbook for you.
-
1–3 days of focused EMDR sessions – We’ll meet for full or half day session/s of EMDR work, paced with your nervous system in mind.
-
Post-intensive session – Two weeks after the intensive we will meet for a follow up to determine any additional resourses that may be needed.
EMDR Intensives can help you heal from trauma quicker than traditional talk therapy
An EMDR intensive gives you 1–3 full or half days dedicated entirely to your healing. During this time, we’ll focus solely on you—no distractions, no rush—using EMDR to help you process the pain that’s been keeping you stuck.
By spending one to three full or half days in EMDR intensives, you can move through more healing than you might in months of weekly sessions.

FAQs
Q: Who can benefit from intensives?
A: Therapy Intensives are perfect for people that are ready for relief now. If you’re ready to see things change in your life and your relationships but you don’t want to wait for that to happen next year - a Therapy Intensive may be right for you. If you have a specific topic, trauma, or stressor that you want support with - this can be the focus of your Therapy Intensive. The dedicated time will be customized specifically to you and your goals.
Q: Why should I do a Therapy Intensive instead of a normal 50-minute therapy session?
A: Therapy Intensives are more effective and efficient than normal 50-minute therapy sessions. Typically in a 50-minute session, there are at least 5-10 minutes of “check-in” at the start of the session and usually, 5-10 minutes spent on “closing up” or “checking out” at the end of a session - Leaving only 30-40 minutes for deep therapeutic work. Therapy Intensives are different. A 3-hour Therapy Intensive allows for 2.5 hours of depth work. That’s the equivalent of five 50-minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!
Q: If I already have a primary therapist, can I do intensive as an adjunct therapy?
A: Absolutely! Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.
Q: Can insurance cover the cost?
A: Unfortunately, no. I do not accept insurance for intensives. Most insurances will not cover the cost of intensives.
Q: Is the investment worth it?
A: EMDR intensives are a powerful way to experience deeper healing, faster. Instead of waiting months to feel relief, you can make meaningful progress in just a few days. And when you consider the time, energy, and cost of weekly therapy over many months, intensives can actually be the more efficient, effective choice. EMDR 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, an EMDR Intensive is actually more cost effective. Instead of waiting months, you can get the same results in a few days.
Q: Where does the EMDR intensive take place?
A: I offer EMDR intensives virtually in Missouri, Illinois, Nevada and Massachusetts. I may also be able to offer the intensives in-home, locally, in Southwest Missouri. It’s best to allow time outside of sessions to be unscheduled or filled only with self-care activities like exercise, body work (acupuncture or massage), and creative expression – drawing, painting, cooking. For those traveling to Springfield I love to share a list of “Favorite Things” to help you make the most of your time outside of session.
Q: How many Intensive Days should I schedule?
A: Great question! This depends on your goals for the Therapy Intensive. Some goals can be reached in a 1 Day Intensive (3 hours), but other goals are more complex and may require a 3 Day Intensive. I can help you determine the number of days that would work best for your therapy goals.
Q: When are payments due?
A: A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at the time you book your Therapy Intensive. The remaining 50% is due on the first day of the Intensive Session.
Q: What if I’m interested in a Therapy Intensive but I’m not 100% sure?
A: Let’s schedule a time to talk! I’m happy to answer any questions and explore your unique situation to see if a Therapy Intensive may be helpful for you.
