EMDR Therapy (Insurance-Covered)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a well-researched therapy that helps people heal from trauma, distressing memories, anxiety, and overwhelming life experiences.

In EMDR, you don’t have to retell every detail of what happened. Instead, we focus on how the experience is stored in your nervous system. Using gentle bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping), your brain is supported in reprocessing difficult memories so they no longer feel as intense, intrusive, or emotionally charged.

Sessions are typically weekly, covered by insurance, and move at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Over time, many clients notice fewer triggers, reduced emotional distress, and a greater sense of calm and control.

EMDR Intensives (3-Hour Sessions)

EMDR Intensives are an accelerated option for clients who want deeper work in a shorter period of time.

Rather than meeting weekly for months, intensives involve extended 3-hour sessions that allow us to stay focused and make significant progress in a single day. This format can be especially helpful for:

• Long-standing trauma

• Clients with limited availability

• People who feel “stuck” in weekly therapy

• Those wanting faster relief

Intensives are more immersive and structured, with time built in for grounding and integration. Because of their length and format, EMDR intensives are typically private-pay and not covered by insurance.

EMDR-Informed Alternatives (Twice-Weekly, Insurance-Covered)

For clients who want trauma-focused work but prefer or need insurance coverage, we also offer EMDR-informed alternatives with twice-weekly sessions.

This approach uses key elements of EMDR and other evidence-based trauma therapies, while spreading the work across sessions. Meeting twice per week helps maintain momentum, supports nervous system regulation, and allows for steady progress without the intensity of a long session.

This option is often a good fit if you:

• Want a structured, trauma-informed approach

• Benefit from more frequent support

• Prefer insurance-covered sessions

• Want flexibility while still moving forward consistently
