Advanced EMDR Consultation + Practice Development
Design an EMDR intensive practice that is clinically deep, ethically grounded, and actually works for you.
Next cohort: April to June 2027
Live online · Open to clinicians across U.S. time zones
You have outgrown the weekly model.
Maybe you've experimented with 90-minute sessions, extended EMDR sessions, half-days, or occasional intensives.
Maybe you've seen how much can happen when you don't have to interrupt meaningful processing because the clock says the session is over.
And maybe you've wondered:
Could I build my practice around this?
But moving into intensive work raises much bigger questions than simply extending a session.
Those are the questions this cohort is designed to help you answer.
Design an intensive offering that fits your clinical work—and your life.
You bring your EMDR experience, your questions, and an emerging vision. Across four two-hour group sessions, you’ll develop one intensive offering with support for the clinical decisions, practical systems, and communication that bring it together.
-
Session 1: Design Your Offering
Clarify who you serve and how you want to work.
Explore intensive formats, client fit, screening and readiness, and your own clinical scope and capacity. Reflect on your ideal client experiences to shape an offering that draws on your strengths and the clients you work best with.
You’ll develop: A working blueprint for your intensive offering.
-
Session 2: Build the Client Experience
Create a thoughtful path from first inquiry through integration.
Map screening, preparation, the intensive itself, and follow-up. Work through pacing, collaboration, pricing, and practice policies, using adaptable templates to support your process.
You’ll develop: A client workflow and priority materials to personalize for your practice.
-
Session 3: Marketing
Help prospective clients and referring therapists understand your work.
Clarify your positioning and describe your intensive in language that feels natural to you. Explore website + marketing messaging, referral relationships, and consultations that support informed decisions and appropriate fit.
You’ll develop: Draft website or referral copy and a focused outreach plan.
-
Session 4: Prepare to Launch or Refine
Turn your decisions into manageable next steps.
Walk through your offering from inquiry to integration, identify remaining gaps, and troubleshoot clinical and practical questions. Build a realistic plan around your current practice, energy, and readiness.
You’ll develop: A personalized 30–60 day implementation plan.
Individual support for your specific questions
Alongside eight hours of group consultation, you’ll receive a 2-hr deep dive consultation session to personalize your model and work through questions that need focused attention. Templates also support your work between sessions. Participants will be encouraged to meet in-between sessions to create a bridge of peer support and build your intensive community.
Who this is for
This cohort is for EMDR-trained therapists who are ready to actively develop or refine an intensive offering. You likely have already started to offer extended sessions and you are ready to build or move further into a multi-day intensive model.
Bring a willingness to reflect, make decisions, try things between sessions, and learn alongside trusted colleagues.
BUILD YOUR MODEL
Not a copy of mine - But you can use what I’ve developed to designed your own intensive offering around the way you work.
A model that reflects your clinical approach, your clients, your capacity, your ethics, and the practice you actually want to build.
BUILD YOUR INTENSIVE MODEL
Not a copy of mine.
You'll leave with clarity around:
your intensive format and structure
screening, readiness and contraindications
preparation, processing and integration
pacing complex trauma within longer treatment windows
policies, documentation and informed consent
pricing and financial structure
working adjunctively with referring therapists
communicating what intensives can—and cannot—offer
marketing and referral development
a concrete plan for bringing your intensive offering into the world
You know how to do EMDR. Now let's build a different container for doing it.
Design + Launch an EMDR Intensive Practice
A 3-month advanced consultation and implementation cohort for experienced IFS-Informed EMDR clinicians ready to thoughtfully move beyond the weekly therapy model.
Morgan Levine, LCSW
EMDRIA Approved Consultant
Certified IFS-Informed EMDR Therapist
Founder, IFS EMDR Therapy + IFS EMDR Intensives
Learn from a therapist who built the practice you're considering.
I didn't start my career intending to build an intensives-only practice.
I spent years working within traditional therapy structures before gradually extending sessions and questioning whether the standard weekly model was always the best container for the depth of trauma work my clients were doing.
That evolution eventually led me to build a practice centered around multi-day, IFS-informed EMDR intensives.
Today, my clinical work has given me the opportunity to see what becomes possible when we have more time—not simply to process more material, but to slow down, listen to protective systems, attend to the nervous system, repair ruptures, integrate what emerges, and allow the work to unfold without repeatedly stopping and restarting.
As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, it was important to me that my intensives be clinically effective with the 8-phases of EMDR built into the design, while also being intuitive and flexible to meet the client in front of me.
This cohort brings together what I've learned clinically and operationally so that you don't have to invent your intensive model alone.
This cohort is intentionally limited to six clinicians so that we can work with your actual practice—not hypothetical examples.
You'll have space to bring your questions, clinical concerns, business decisions, stuck points, and evolving intensive model into the room.
You'll also be building alongside a small group of experienced EMDR clinicians wrestling with many of the same questions.
That combination of advanced consultation + implementation + peer community accountability is what makes this different from simply taking another training.
This isn't just another training. It’s an opportunity to learn, design, and receive supportive feedback in community.
There are only six seats.
Curious what intensive work feels like as the client?
My Experiential Intensives for Therapists offer clinicians an opportunity to step out of the therapist role and experience individualized IFS-Informed EMDR intensive work for themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. You do not need to currently offer intensives. This cohort is designed for EMDR-trained therapists who are interested in developing an extended-session or multi-day intensive model, as well as clinicians who have already experimented with longer sessions or intensives and want to refine what they are doing.
You should, however, have completed an EMDRIA-approved basic training and have 2+ years experience actively using EMDR in your clinical practice.
-
It's intentionally both. We'll consider the clinical and ethical decisions involved in intensive EMDR work—including screening, readiness, preparation, pacing, processing, integration, and working with complex presentations—while also building the practical infrastructure needed to offer intensives.
That includes pricing, policies, scheduling, documentation, referrals, marketing, and designing an intensive model that is sustainable within your practice.
-
You don't need to be 100% private pay, but this cohort will be most useful for therapists who have already transitioned at least partially into private-pay work or are actively moving in that direction.
Our conversations about designing, pricing, and marketing intensives will primarily focus on private-pay intensive practice models rather than building an insurance-based intensive model.
We offer support to take the next steps.
-
Yes - You'll have access to what I've learned from building my own multi-day intensive practice, including my intake process, workbooks, treatment planning, and collaboration approaches, but the goal isn't to replicate my practice.
We'll use the cohort to help you develop an intensive model that reflects your clinical approach, clients, capacity, ethics, finances, and the kind of practice you want to build. -
The goal is to move beyond simply learning about intensives and toward having an intensive offering you are prepared to implement.
Depending on where you're starting, that may include defining your intensive structure, screening process, pricing, policies, preparation and integration model, referral strategy, website messaging, and launch plan.
-
IFS-informed EMDR integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy with EMDR by tracking parts (such as protectors and exiles) throughout the EMDR process. This approach prioritizes relational attunement, nervous system pacing, and working with internal system dynamics during trauma processing.
-
An EMDR intensive is a way of delivering EMDR therapy using longer treatment sessions or concentrated blocks of treatment rather than relying exclusively on traditional weekly 50–60 minute sessions. Intensive structures can include extended sessions, half-days, full days, or multi-day treatment.
Designing an intensive requires consideration of client readiness, preparation, pacing, processing, regulation, integration, documentation, and continuity of care—not simply making a standard EMDR session longer.
-
EMDR-trained therapists interested in offering intensives can pursue advanced consultation and training focused specifically on intensive treatment. In addition to understanding how EMDR may be delivered within longer treatment windows, therapists need to consider screening, readiness, treatment planning, ethical practice, scheduling, pricing, documentation, collaboration with referring therapists, and integration.
Designing + Launching EMDR Intensives is a 3-month advanced EMDR consultation and implementation cohort designed to help EMDR-trained clinicians develop these elements within their own practices.
-
This cohort is intended for clinicians who have already completed an EMDRIA-approved EMDR basic training and have experience using EMDR clinically. It is advanced consultation and practice development rather than an EMDR basic training.
Therapists remain responsible for practicing within their individual competence, licensure requirements, professional ethics, and applicable laws and regulations.
-
There is no single structure that is appropriate for every therapist or client. An intensive may involve extended sessions, half-days, full days, or multiple consecutive treatment days.
A clinically thoughtful intensive model also considers what happens before, during, and after processing, including assessment, screening, preparation, treatment planning, pacing, regulation, breaks, integration, follow-up, and coordination with other providers when appropriate.
