More room to settle in, go deeper, and let the work unfold.
Sometimes the most helpful missing piece is simply having more time for the work. Intensive EMDR uses the same EMDR therapy approach in longer 90-minute and 2-hour sessions, with options for ongoing or as-needed scheduling. This work can also be offered as adjunct support alongside an existing therapist.

Intensive EMDR therapy to treat complex trauma, heal anxiety, and support nervous system regulation.
MIND + BODY HEALING
Honoring your whole nervous system.
Catherine Alvarado Therapy + EMDR is a holistic psychotherapy practice in Redondo Beach specializing in EMDR therapy and trauma-informed care. Our therapists integrate EMDR with attachment-focused, somatic, and depth-oriented approaches to support healing from trauma, anxiety, OCD, chronic stress, and other experiences that can leave people feeling emotionally stuck or disconnected from themselves.
We believe healing happens not only through insight, but through creating enough safety to process unresolved experiences, reconnect with the nervous system, and build a more grounded relationship with yourself. Each therapist brings their own style and specialties while sharing a collaborative, compassionate approach rooted in meaningful emotional healing and whole-person care.
We offer holistic, integrative therapy rooted in deeper healing.
