EMDR Therapy With More Time to Work
Sometimes 50 minutes doesn’t feel like enough time to get into the work you want to do.
Our Saturday EMDR intensive offers three hours of focused trauma therapy, with preparation beforehand and follow-up afterward. It’s a different way to approach EMDR when you have a specific concern you want to address and need more uninterrupted time.
One Saturday. One focused treatment plan.
Limited Saturday appointments. Clinical screening required.
When you’ve talked about it, but it still affects you.
You might understand where some of your reactions come from. You may have spent years talking about what happened, but still notice the same emotions, physical reactions, or beliefs showing up in everyday life.
EMDR is designed to help people work through distressing experiences and the ways those experiences continue to affect them.
An intensive provides a longer period of focused treatment without having to stop after a standard appointment.
It’s not about rushing through trauma. It’s about having enough time to approach the work thoughtfully.
One complete package. $1,250.
60-minute preparation appointment
We’ll review your history, discuss your goals, evaluate your readiness for EMDR processing, and identify a treatment focus. We’ll also work on any preparation and grounding strategies needed.
9 AM–12 PM
Three hours reserved for focused EMDR treatment. The appointment includes treatment preparation, targeted memory work when appropriate, breaks, emotional regulation, and a structured ending.
60-minute follow-up appointment
We’ll review your experience, assess changes, discuss what may still need attention, and plan next steps.
Your package also includes individualized treatment planning, preparation materials, and post-session guidance.
A different way to approach trauma therapy.
An EMDR intensive may be worth exploring if:
- You have a specific distressing memory or experience you want to address.
- You notice old experiences affecting how you respond to situations today.
- You’re working through a trauma-related belief about yourself.
- You have difficulty fitting regular weekly therapy into your schedule.
- You’re already engaged in therapy and want focused EMDR work around an identified concern.
Not everyone is ready for intensive trauma processing, and that’s okay.
We’ll discuss whether this treatment format fits your needs before scheduling the Saturday appointment.
Focused treatment, without unrealistic promises.
Some people notice meaningful changes in the way they experience a memory or respond to a trigger. Others need more time and additional treatment.
We work at a pace appropriate for you, with room to pause, take breaks, practice regulation skills, and adjust the plan. Tiredness, strong emotions, or continued processing afterward are possible, so plan some downtime after the appointment.

Frequently asked questions
Does the entire three hours involve EMDR processing?
Not necessarily. The appointment includes focused treatment, breaks, emotional regulation, and time to close the session appropriately. We adjust the pace based on your needs.
Will one intensive resolve my trauma?
There is no guarantee. The goal is meaningful progress toward an identified treatment goal. Some people need additional EMDR work or ongoing therapy.
Can I participate if I’m already seeing a therapist?
Potentially. With your permission, we can discuss how an intensive might fit alongside your existing care and whether coordination with your therapist would be helpful.
Is this covered by insurance?
The intensive is offered as a $1,250 private-pay package. We review your insurance circumstances and any applicable payer requirements before scheduling. Insurance reimbursement is not guaranteed.
Will I have to describe every traumatic detail?
Not necessarily. EMDR generally does not require you to provide a detailed verbal account of everything that happened. We’ll explain the process before treatment.
Is this available online?
In-person services are available at our Wheelersburg office. Secure telehealth may be considered for adults physically located in Ohio when clinically appropriate.
