EMDR Intensives with Lisa

EMDR Intensives offer rapid progress in healing...

So if you are interested in EMDR with a DID knowledgeable therapist, this might be the opportunity you are looking for. I am exploring options for offering 2-3 day intensives, 9 am to 7 pm, on Fridays and Saturdays, starting in June.
So, what is an EMDR Intensive?
EMDR Intensives offer the opportunity to "break the rules" of the traditional 50 minute therapy hour. You work for 90 minutes at a time for four sessions a day over 2 days. You are able to select a trauma to target, and work intensively on that target in order to fully clear it without waiting a week between each session. Intensives are, as the name implies, emotionally taxing, but also an effective form of therapeutic work for some people.
Are EMDR Intensives Covered by Insurance?
Unfortunately, No. EMDR Intensives are a cash-only service, as insurance only allows billing for one, one-hour session per day.
What does an EMDR Intensive Cost?
We are currently exploring pricing, but the final product will be in the ballpark of $1500/day (6-9 hours of therapy)
