ONline and in-person sessions availableEMDR Therapy Intensives in South Pasadena, Los Angeles and throughout California
What is an EMDR intensive?
EMDR intensives are set up to provide multiple sessions of EMDR over a 1, 2 or 3 day period.
I offer EMDR intensives to busy women and birthing people who want to find relief from symptoms and traumatic distress more quickly than ongoing weekly EMDR sessions can provide.
EMDR intensives can be an adjunct to talk therapy if you’re working with another therapist.

EMDR is used to treat many kinds of trauma and PTSD. In my practice I use EMDR therapy to:
Process and heal past traumas (childhood traumas, attachment wounds, abuse and neglect
Alleviate the distress/PTSD symptoms from previous pregnancy & birth related traumas
Help prepare you for labor, deliver, fertility treatment and postpartum life
Diminish fears/phobias of pregnancy and birth
Teach you skills to build up your inner strengths, calm your body and mind and keep you grounded in the present.

Benefits of EMDR Intensives
-
Cost Effective
EMDR intensives are more cost effective. The up-front costs are greater, but EMDR intensives provide the equivalent of weeks or months of ongoing weekly therapy.
-
No More Weekly Sessions
Intensive sessions are completed in 1, 2 or 3 days. This reduces the need to find childcare or arrange your schedule around therapy every week.
-
