EMDR Intensive Sessions for Survivors of Recent Sexual Assault
Experiencing a sexual assault can leave you feeling overwhelmed, unsafe, or disconnected from yourself and the world around you. Our EMDR Intensive Sessions offer a focused, compassionate approach to processing trauma, helping you regain a sense of stability and control without the need for ongoing weekly therapy. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—an evidence-based method for processing distressing memories—these intensives allow you to make significant progress in a short time. Sessions are tailored to your needs and may incorporate somatic and mindfulness techniques to support your nervous system as you heal.
Unlike traditional therapy, EMDR Intensives condense multiple sessions into five three-hour sessions, providing structured and effective trauma processing without requiring you to relive every detail of what happened. This approach is ideal if you're looking for relief from intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, anxiety, or dissociation in a focused and supportive setting. If you’re seeking a safe, accelerated path toward healing, contact us to see if an EMDR Intensive is right for you.
