EMDR Intensives

1-3 day Intensives

BENEFITS

Faster Progress

Many clients move through in days what could take months of weekly sessions. And in Alaska, where waitlists for weekly therapy can run 3-6 months, you can skip the wait.

Heal on YOUR time

Sometimes life doesn’t allow for traditional therapy, and we need more flexibility. You choose a schedule that fits your life. Juggling family and a career while dealing with anxiety, depression, or PTSD is overwhelming, and sometimes weekly therapy just doesn’t fit.

Stacey's Honest Truth:

“I’ve done my own weekly therapy, but if I ever need to work through something again, I’m choosing an intensive, hands down. Who wouldn’t want to clear out trauma and stuck points and get back on track ASAP? I’m all about efficiency, and for many people, intensives are the most efficient path.”

In an intensive, we don’t spend the first part of every session catching up or addressing the week’s crises. That leaves focused, uninterrupted time for the work that creates change.

What's included & What can I expect to accomplish?

Pre-intensive interview: We assess your goals and readiness.

Personalized treatment plan: Tailored to you.

Intensive sessions: Focused, uninterrupted time blocks.

Post-intensive support: Tools for continued healing and integration.

A one-day intensive can boost performance and confidence, or significantly reduce the effects of a single traumatic event, such as negative beliefs, distressing emotions and body sensations. Complex PTSD deserves more than one day. Many clients with Complex PTSD continue their work through monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly one-day intensives.

A 2- or 3-day intensive, on weekdays or weekends, may create meaningful change more efficiently than a one-hour session or a one-day intensive. We may be able to clear single-incident trauma, or fast-track work on complex relational trauma. We’ll decide which format fits you best during your pre-intensive interview.

Already have a therapist?

EMDR intensives work well alongside weekly therapy

Maybe you and your therapist feel stuck. Or maybe you understand new things in your head, but your body hasn’t caught up. An adjunct EMDR intensive can help. With your permission, I’ll coordinate with your therapist so your work continues smoothly when you return to weekly sessions.

 

Investment

A deposit is required to schedule your pre-intensive interview. If you move forward with an intensive, we apply your deposit toward your package price. If we decide together that an intensive isn’t the right fit, the deposit covers the interview, and you owe nothing more.

Intensives are self-pay only and are not billed to insurance

 Stacey is the owner and clinical director of Chugach Counseling, an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, and the former president of the Alaska EMDR Network. She has been working with adolescents and adults for 19 years, and as a licensed clinician for 12 of those.

Over the course of my career I have seen the transformational power of EMDR with hundreds of clients. Anytime a friend, family member, or even fellow Alaskan posting on social media shares about something tough they are struggling with, I dust off my soapbox and recommend EMDR emphatically. I am passionate about this work because I have been the client myself and witnessed firsthand how productive it is, and I have sat alongside so many clients as they break free from past events that have been holding them hostage.

How would we start?

EMDR Intensives can be done in one or multiple consecutive days of 3 hours of therapy each day

After your post-intensive interview, you can let me know if you’d like to schedule additional intensive days or if you feel good to stop there. It is important to note I have a small number of weekly therapy spots available Monday-Wednesday. If you would rather do weekly therapy instead of an intensive, you can join my waitlist and use your insurance benefits. The average wait time to see me specifically is 6-8 months. Intensive clients do not automatically become weekly therapy clients afterward.

Are Intensives right for me?
  • Have you been feeling that something profound has yet to change, but you’re not quite sure how to shift all the way into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist?
  • Do you cognitively understand things and know things, yet still emotionally feel differently, and your body is still confused or stuck in the past?
  • Are you curious about how intensive EMDR therapy can help as you work with your primary talk therapist?
  • Have you been meaning to get into weekly therapy for a while now, but your schedule has been so hectic and demanding that a weekly therapy appointment feels more overwhelming than supportive?
  • Do you need help, and a lot of it, right now, and you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better?
  • Are you a current, weekly client who is needing extra, focused support quickly? Maybe you’re frustrated, feeling like you’ve hit a plateau in your current therapy. Despite all the work you’ve done, there’s still something holding you back, keeping you from experiencing the freedom you know is possible.​
  • Are you someone who just prefers to work intensively?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, Intensives may be exactly what you have been looking for

If you’re in crisis, call or text 988 or go to your nearest ER. Intensives are not crisis care.

Research
  • Intensive trauma-focused therapy is well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely. Learn more here and here.
  • Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame. Learn more here.
  • An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD. Learn more here.
  • Even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that you won’t need after trauma healing. Learn more here.
What about after my Intensive?
Note: additional sessions beyond your EMDR Intensive are not included in the Intensive fee; recommendations are individualized based on your specific needs.
