You work hard to be
excellent
shouldn't your EMDR therapy be too?
You’ve already tried talk therapy. It was helpful, but you didn’t get to the root of the problem.
You’re tired of working so hard to “cope.”
You don’t want to wait to feel better. You’re sick of dealing with “it” – whatever “it” is.
Wouldn’t it feel amazing to not have old emotional baggage getting between you and success in your work?
What does it mean to heal from the inside out?
We are born with a need for connection, love and belonging.
Our earliest experiences in life teach us what to believe about ourselves and others.
When we have painful early experiences that are overwhelming to us, we begin to experience disconnection and can start to fragment on the inside. Our young brains are not equipped to process these experiences.
These experiences become frozen in a bundle of feelings, images, thoughts, physical sensations and beliefs. We can start to feel unloved - and so begin to believe we are unlovable. We can feel unworthy or like we don’t deserve good things.
When we can't resolve this disconnection, it becomes the narrative about ourselves and will manifest itself in relationships that follow, continuing into adulthood.
This “not good enough” narrative shows up in our personal lives - but it also shows up in our careers.
EMDR Intensives, as part of a comprehensive approach to therapy, help us resolve those old, distorted narratives that do not serve you in your life today.
As the saying goes, we repeat what we don’t repair.
Aren’t you tired of seeing the same old patterns repeat themselves? Aren’t you tired of believing you can’t get what you want?
You can change the narrative.
Sometimes the traditional model of weekly therapy sessions is limiting.
Fortunately, EMDR therapy is not limited to the traditional format.
Are you ready to:
Feel like something is actually changing as a result of therapy
See change happen in days or weeks, instead of months
Resolve problems from the root instead of working harder to cope with the problem
Together we will:
Identify the thoughts, beliefs, emotions and physical sensations you are wanting to resolve
Create a customized treatment program with specific, targeted goals and timeline
Track the positive changes you experience from your EMDR Intensive. You will also get resources to support your ongoing growth.
Welcome to your EMDR Intensive
After your initial consult, we will meet for a full assessment session. We will identify the issues you are looking to work on, set goals, and discuss any barriers to your success. We will also assess whether intensive EMDR is right for you now.
Following your assessment session, we will meet for 3 intensive EMDR sessions. We will schedule your intensive sessions according to your needs. Sessions are virtual and typically last for 2 to 3 hours.
After your intensive EMDR sessions, we will meet for a follow-up session. We will reflect on what feels better, what changed, and what still needs attention. I will provide you with resources for ongoing learning and growth. Some clients decide they want to continue with ongoing EMDR therapy with me. Some clients return to their primary therapist to continue their work. Others do not need ongoing therapy.
EMDR Intensives can help you:
-
Feel more grounded and present - lift the weight off your shoulders
-
Strengthen your confidence, self-compassion and self-acceptance
-
Experience less rumination, preoccupation with others and guilt
-
Resolve underlying issues so there is less need to “cope”
-
Reach your goals in less time than traditional therapy
EMDR Intensives give you a path to emotional freedom on your terms.
Where I provide EMDR Intensives:
For most of my career, I lived and worked in Massachusetts. I now live in Virginia. I hold licenses to practice in both states. If you are located anywhere in either Massachusetts or Virginia, I am happy to provide EMDR Intensives online. In person EMDR Intensives can be arranged with prior notice if you are interested in traveling to the Richmond, VA area to work with me.
