EMDR Intensives in Madison, Wisconsin

Transform Your Healing with EMDR Intensives

For When Weekly Therapy Isn’t Enough, or Simply Doesn’t Work

You’ve done the work. Maybe you’ve been in therapy for months or years.

But you still feel:

  • Emotionally stuck, like the same patterns keep looping

  • Triggered by things you “should be over by now”

  • Disconnected from your body, your feelings, or people in your life

  • Anxious or dysregulated, even when things “look fine” on the outside

  • Frustrated by the slow pace of healing, or the lack of it

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. For many people, healing takes more than an hour a week. EMDR Intensives offer a focused, accelerated plan to healing when traditional talk therapy falls short.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing 

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and reduce the emotional charge they carry. Instead of revisiting every painful detail, EMDR taps into the brain’s natural ability to heal, reducing the impact of trauma, flashbacks, nightmares, and negative core beliefs.

EMDR Helps With:

  • Phobias

  • Grief & Loss

  • Self-Esteem Issues

  • Trauma & PTSD

  • Anxiety & Panic

  • Depression

What Is an EMDR Intensive?

✱ Extended Sessions

Work on specific goals without the interruptions or delays of traditional therapy.

✱ Focused Approach

Remove the stop-and-start rhythm of traditional sessions for more cohesive healing.

✱ Personalized Care

Tailored to your nervous system capacity and specific healing needs.

An EMDR Intensive is a customized, extended therapy session (3 to 6 hours per day) designed for deeper, faster healing than weekly sessions allow.

Why Choose EMDR Intensives?

Unlike weekly therapy, EMDR intensives offer a more focused and uninterrupted approach to healing, allowing for more cohesive healing in a shorter period.

Who Are EMDR Intensives For?

EMDR Intensives offer a focused, accelerated path to healing, ideal for those looking to go deeper, faster.

You might benefit from an intensive if you:

  • Feel stuck in traditional therapy or haven’t experienced lasting change

  • Want to process a specific trauma, memory, or trigger

  • Are emotionally stable and able to self-regulate

  • Are already in therapy and want to accelerate your healing

  • Have been referred by your current therapist for focused trauma work

  • Are managing symptoms like flashbacks, panic, or dissociation

  • Struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or emotional numbness
