Virtual Therapy Intensives | EMDR, OCD/ERP & Couples

Why an Intensive?

When weekly sessions aren't enough, or fast enough

Traditional weekly therapy spends precious minutes each session warming up and catching up. Intensives keep you in the therapeutic zone, allowing deeper processing with less start-and-stop.

⚡

Accelerated Results

Research on massed-session formats of EMDR and ERP shows that concentrated treatment can produce meaningful gains in a fraction of the calendar time.

🎯

Focused & Immersive

No weekly reset. Extended sessions let us stay with the work, reaching depths that 50-minute hours often can't.

🗓️

Fits Real Life

Ideal for busy professionals, caregivers, military schedules, or anyone between life chapters. One weekend can move what months of Tuesdays couldn't.

Programs

Three intensive tracks

🌱

EMDR Trauma Intensive

For: PTSD, complex PTSD, childhood trauma, single-incident trauma.

What it looks like: Extended EMDR reprocessing sessions with a certified EMDR therapist, bookended by preparation and integration work. Formats from a half-day to a 3-day program.

Best for you if: You know what you need to work on and want to process it thoroughly, without reliving it in weekly installments for a year.

🧠

OCD / ERP Intensive

What it looks like: Concentrated Exposure and Response Prevention, daily extended sessions building an exposure hierarchy and working through it with expert coaching, plus between-session practice plans.

💞

Couples Intensive

For: Trust repair, communication breakdown, disconnection, premarital deep-dives, neurodiverse partnerships.

What it looks like: A private "couples retreat" over one or two days, Gottman-based assessment, structured conversations, and skills practice that would normally span months of weekly sessions.

The Process

How your intensive unfolds

Free consultation

We discuss your goals and determine whether an intensive is clinically appropriate for you, intensives aren't right for everyone, and I'll tell you honestly.

Pre-intensive assessment

A dedicated session to map your history, build coping resources, and design your personalized intensive plan.

Your intensive

Focused, extended virtual sessions with built-in breaks, paced to keep you challenged but never overwhelmed.

Integration & follow-up

A follow-up session to consolidate gains, plus a clear plan for maintaining momentum, on your own or in ongoing therapy.

Common Questions

Intensive FAQs

Are virtual intensives really effective?

Yes. EMDR and ERP both translate well to telehealth, and research on massed/condensed treatment formats supports their effectiveness. What matters most is the structure, the therapeutic relationship, and your readiness, all of which we assess before booking.

Is an intensive right for me?

Intensives work best when you have a focused goal, basic emotional stability, and the ability to rest afterward. During your free consultation we'll assess fit together, and if weekly therapy is the better path, I'll say so.

Can I do an intensive while seeing another therapist?

Often, yes. Many clients complete an adjunct intensive (especially EMDR) while continuing weekly therapy with their primary therapist. With your consent, I coordinate care so your gains carry back into your ongoing work.

How much does an intensive cost?

Individual intensives (EMDR or OCD/ERP) run from $1,500 (half-day) to $6,200 (3-day program); couples intensives from $1,750 (half-day) to $7,400 (3-day program). Book at least 3 weeks ahead and early-bird pricing saves roughly 10% (e.g., a half-day individual intensive drops to $1,350). Every rate is all-inclusive, pre-assessment, workbook, and follow-up integration session. A 50% deposit reserves your dates, payment plans are available, and superbills are provided for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
