Intensive EMDR Therapy
Our practice offers EMDR intensives that provide dedicated time for focused work beyond the standard therapy hour. Available for teens and adults in Redondo Beach and online for all of CA.
Intensive EMDR offers a longer EMDR therapy session format for those who want more space to settle in and engage in deeper processing. Rather than working within a traditional 50-minute session, intensives are scheduled in extended blocks—typically 90 minutes to two hours—so the EMDR therapy work can unfold without feeling rushed or cut short.
Having this extra time allows sessions to move at a more natural pace. There’s room to stay with the process, explore experiences more fully, and bring the work to a place that feels complete and contained. For many, this uninterrupted space makes it easier to stay connected and move through material that can be harder to access in shorter sessions.
This format can be a good fit for those who prefer a more immersive approach or want to focus on specific concerns with added intention. Sessions are thoughtfully planned based on individual goals, readiness, and capacity, with ongoing attention to safety, grounding, and regulation throughout.
Many people find that intensive sessions support deeper engagement and a stronger sense of continuity from one session to the next. Whether used occasionally or alongside ongoing therapy, intensive EMDR offers a way to work with depth and care while honoring each person’s pace, needs, and natural rhythm.
