Loss is a universal experience and an unavoidable part of being human and we experience grief in many forms. Anticipatory, ambiguous, financial, loss of a loved one or pet, and divorce.

Anger is a complex emotion and spans a long continuum of intensity. We may have learned ways of coping that are ineffective in our relationships and in meeting our goals. Our therapists can help you manage and control your anger in healthy ways. Our experienced therapists provide guidance and support to help you identify the root causes of your anger, develop coping skills, and improve your relationships with others.

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach of treatment that has been proven effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Your therapist will work with you to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behavior. You will focus on what is going on in your life right now, learn new skills and strategies to manage effectively, and learn how your past experiences have affected you. While we cannot change the past, with therapy, we can change our current experience with our past. 

Our mindfulness based therapy helps clients focus on paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally. 

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a mental health treatment technique. This method involves bilateral stimulation while you process traumatic memories. EMDR's goal is to help you heal from and decrease the intensity of trauma or other distressing life experiences.

EMDR intensive sessions are a focused, accelerated form of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy designed to help individuals process trauma more efficiently than traditional weekly sessions.

What Are EMDR Intensives?

EMDR intensives are extended therapy sessions: typically lasting 2 to 6 hours per day. They offer a deep, immersive therapeutic experience that allows for more rapid progress in healing trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges.

How Do EMDR Intensives Work?

These sessions follow the same structured EMDR protocol but in a condensed format:

1. Pre-Session Preparation

● Identification of target memories or emotional themes.

● Introduction to EMDR tools and safety strategies.

2. Session Structure

● Begins with nervous system regulation utilizing grounding exercises, body scans, and visualization.

● Core EMDR work using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or tones).

● Focused processing of traumatic memories or stuck beliefs.

● Ends with integration and aftercare planning such as journaling or breathwork.

3. Post-Session Support

● Personalized aftercare plan.

● Follow-up to assess progress and determine next steps.

Benefits of EMDR Intensives

● Accelerated Healing: Faster symptom reduction compared to weekly therapy.

● Deeper Processing: Extended time allows for more thorough exploration of trauma.

● Reduced Dropout Rates: Clients are more likely to complete treatment.

● Flexibility: Ideal for those with busy schedules or who prefer a retreat-style format.

● Adjunct to Other Therapy: Can complement ongoing therapy with another provider.

Who Might Benefit?

EMDR intensives are suitable for individuals dealing with:

● PTSD or complex trauma

● Phobias

● Anxiety or depression

● Self-sabotaging behaviors

● Recent traumatic events such as an accident or assault

● Anticipated stressors such as public speaking, an interview, or a family event.

Considerations and Limitations

EMDR intensives may not be appropriate for everyone. They require:

● Emotional readiness and stability.

● Physical stamina for longer sessions.

● A safe and supportive environment post-session.

They may not be suitable during times of crisis, severe dissociation, or significant life changes.
