Hi, I’m Morgan Levine.

I’m a trauma therapist who outgrew the limitations of “traditional” therapy. My clients did, too.

Today, I run an intensives-only practice grounded in EMDR, IFS, attachment theory, and experiential and somatic approaches. I offer multi-day therapy intensives and retreat-style intensives, and therapists travel to me for their own experiential work, consultation, and training in intensive trauma therapy.

My path to this work grew out of a question I kept asking in my own practice: What becomes possible when we give trauma therapy more time?

That question fundamentally changed the way I practice—and now I help experienced EMDR therapists thoughtfully explore what an intensive model could look like in their own work.

Who I Work With

I work with therapists, healers, and caregivers who are self-reflective and have already done meaningful healing work and are ready to go deeper in a multi-day intensive format.

Many of the people who find me understand their history, have developed insight and coping skills, and can name their patterns. They also recognize that understanding alone hasn’t fully changed what they experience in their bodies, relationships, or inner worlds.

I’m especially drawn to working with:

  • Therapists, healers, and caregivers who are accustomed to holding space for others and want dedicated space for their own deeper healing.The high performer learning to rest, play, create, and experience childlike wonder without having to earn it.

  • The scapegoat who chose to live differently from their family of origin and is learning to trust themselves outside of the roles and expectations they inherited.

  • The golden child who became responsible, capable, or successful and is learning to put down the responsibility of rescuing, fixing, or carrying everyone else.

  • The lost child who learned to disappear, stay small, or need very little and is discovering greater safety in being seen, heard, known, and connected.

  • The cycle-breaker healing from the effects of growing up in a dysfunctional family or culture and wanting to create a different relationship with themselves, others, and the generations that come after them.

Clinically, my work often includes complex and developmental trauma, attachment wounds, generational and cultural trauma, grief and identity transitions, and the intersection of trauma with masking, burnout, and late-identified neurodivergence.

How I Came to Offer Intensives

For years, I practiced the way most therapists are trained.

Weekly 50-minute sessions.

Then I began offering 90-minute couples sessions. When I became an EMDR therapist, I continued using extended sessions because I kept noticing the same thing: meaningful trauma work often needed more time.

My clients were healing. And still, the structure sometimes felt at odds with the work.

Just as we settled into the nervous system…
just as protective parts began to trust…
just as deeper material started to emerge…

…it was time to stop.

We would return the following week and spend valuable time reconnecting, orienting to what had happened since we last met, and finding our way back into the work.

I began wondering:

What might become possible if time itself became part of the therapeutic intervention?

Around the same time, changes in insurance reimbursement made extended sessions increasingly difficult to offer. What initially felt frustrating pushed me toward a larger question:

Who decided trauma therapy had to fit into 50-minute increments?

As I studied intensive trauma treatment, I became increasingly interested in the structure of therapy—not only the modality.

I wanted enough time to follow the work rather than constantly watching the clock. I wanted to preserve all eight phases of EMDR while having the flexibility to move between preparation, processing, parts work, resourcing, rest, and integration.

So I started learning—and experimenting.

I pursued training and consultation in intensive therapy. I offered three-hour sessions and consecutive-day work. I refined my screening and preparation processes. I learned what worked, what didn't, when to slow down, and what clients needed before, during, and after an intensive.

Over time, I developed the model I use today: multi-day IFS-Informed EMDR Intensives grounded in all eight phases of EMDR, the AIP model, parts-informed treatment planning, relational attunement, nervous-system awareness, and intentional integration.

And something changed.

With more time, I didn't have to rush toward processing.

We could slow down. Stay curious. Follow the client's system instead of the clock. Protective parts could have the time they needed. There was room for processing—and also for rest, creativity, movement, nature, reflection, and integration.

Eventually, I realized I didn't want to return to a traditional weekly caseload.

Today, I run an intensives-focused practice and have completed more than 100 intensive therapy experiences.

Now I help experienced EMDR therapists explore what an intensive model could look like in their practice—not by replicating mine, but by thoughtfully designing their own.

Because offering intensives isn't simply about making sessions longer. It requires thinking differently about screening, readiness, treatment planning, pacing, ethics, preparation, integration, referral relationships, policies, pricing—and the therapist's own capacity.

An intensive isn't simply more therapy in less time. It's a different way of structuring the therapeutic container.

Sometimes one of the most meaningful changes we can make isn't adding another intervention.

It's creating enough time for the work we already know how to do.
