EMDR Therapy Intensives in Santa Monica, California
If you’ve already done therapy, read the books, reflected on your story, and still feel like something inside hasn’t fully shifted… you’re not alone.
Ongoing weekly sessions may not be ideal for you.
If you’re high-functioning, responsible, and used to handling everything on your own, anxiety and emotional overwhelm may not look dramatic on the outside… but internally, it’s exhausting.
You may replay conversations long after they’re over.
Feel tense even when nothing is “wrong.”
Stay busy because slowing down feels uncomfortable.
Understand your history AND yet your reactions haven’t changed.
You don’t feel broken. You just feel tired of carrying everything inside.
How to Know When You Need EMDR Therapy Intensive
You might consider EMDR Therapy Intensives if:
You overthink and replay interactions constantly
Other people’s tone, distance, or silence affects you deeply
Your body feels tense, alert, or on edge most of the time
You feel emotionally drained from managing yourself internally
You understand why you’re the way you are, but still feel stuck
Weekly therapy feels slow or disruptive
You’re tired of reopening things and pulling yourself together again
You want relief that lasts, not just tools to cope
If this resonates, your nervous system may need a more focused kind of support.
You don’t have to stay stuck in anxiety, emotional reactivity, or constant self-management.
EMDR Therapy Intensives offer extended, uninterrupted time to work with what your body has been holding — especially patterns that are too automatic or deeply rooted to talk your way through.
Instead of spreading the work out week after week, intensives allow your system to process and settle in a more contained, intentional way.
Change is possible and it doesn’t have to take years.

FAQs about EMDR Therapy Intensives
If you have more questions have a look at the FAQ page or reach out.
-
EMDR Therapy Intensives are highly effective for anxiety, trauma, and PTSD because they allow extended, uninterrupted time for the brain and nervous system to fully process distressing experiences. Unlike weekly sessions, intensives reduce the stop-and-start pattern that can slow progress. Many clients notice meaningful shifts in emotional reactivity, anxiety levels, and body-based symptoms in a shorter timeframe compared to traditional therapy.
-
The primary difference between EMDR Therapy Intensives and weekly EMDR therapy is pace and depth. Weekly therapy typically occurs in 50-minute sessions with time spent re-stabilizing between appointments. EMDR Therapy Intensives offer several hours of focused work over one or multiple days, allowing your nervous system to stay engaged long enough for real integration and resolution rather than repeated emotional reopening.
-
EMDR Therapy Intensives can be an excellent fit for anxiety, PTSD, and complex trauma, especially for individuals who feel stuck despite previous therapy. Intensives are well-suited for high-functioning adults, professionals, and those who want deeper healing without months or years of weekly sessions. A consultation helps determine whether your nervous system, history, and goals align with an intensive format.
-
EMDR Therapy Intensives typically range from half-day to multi-day formats, depending on your needs and goals. Many intensives include structured preparation, extended EMDR processing sessions, and integration support. While everyone’s healing timeline is different, intensives often condense months of therapy work into a shorter, more focused window.
-
Yes. EMDR Therapy Intensives are often effective for people who have already tried talk therapy or even EMDR in a weekly format without lasting relief. If you understand your story but your body still reacts with anxiety, shutdown, or overwhelm, intensives allow the nervous system to process what was never fully resolved and not just understood intellectually.
-
Sometimes. EMDR Therapy Intensives can bring temporary fatigue, vivid dreams, emotional tenderness, or continued processing after sessions as your brain integrates the work. This is usually short-term and expected.
Your intensive is paced for nervous system safety, with grounding and integration built in to reduce overwhelm. Serious or lasting negative outcomes are uncommon when EMDR is provided by a trained clinician and your readiness is assessed upfront.
-
Yes. EMDR Therapy Intensives are offered online throughout California and can be highly effective via telehealth. Virtual intensives allow you to engage in deep trauma and anxiety work from the comfort of your own environment while maintaining the same structured, evidence-based EMDR approach. Research and clinical experience show that online EMDR can be just as effective as in-person treatment for many clients.
