Advanced EMDR Intensive Training and Consultation for Therapists

Advanced EMDR Consultation + Practice Development

Design an EMDR intensive practice that is clinically deep, ethically grounded, and actually works for you.

You already know how to do EMDR.

Now you're ready to rethink the container in which you offer it.

Designing + Launching EMDR Intensives is an intimate, 3-month advanced consultation and implementation cohort for EMDR-trained therapists who want to thoughtfully move beyond the traditional weekly therapy model and begin offering extended or multi-day intensive work.

Together, we'll build the clinical framework, screening process, structure, pricing, policies, referral ecosystem, and launch plan you need to begin offering intensives with greater clarity and confidence.

You may already feel yourself outgrowing 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.

How do you determine who is appropriate for intensive treatment? How do you structure preparation and integration? What changes when you're working for several hours—or several consecutive days? How do you price the work? What belongs in your policies and informed consent? How do you collaborate with a client's existing therapist? And how do you market intensives without overpromising what trauma treatment can accomplish?

Those are the questions this cohort is designed to help you answer.

BUILD YOUR MODEL

Not a copy of mine. One designed 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.

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.

This cohort brings together what I've learned clinically and operationally so that you don't have to invent your intensive model alone.

This isn't a webinar or just another training.

There are only five seats.

The cohort is intentionally limited to five 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 is what makes this different from simply taking another training.

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.
