Let’s be real: carrying past stress, old narratives, or that constant on-edge feeling is exhausting. You want to move past the things holding you back, but the idea of sitting in traditional talk therapy for months on end feels daunting.
You don’t have to do it alone—you do not have to commit to endless weekly sessions just to explore whether a different format fits you.
Welcome to our EMDR Group Intensive. This is a structured, raw, and focused way to explore difficult material alongside a small group of people who understand that “I’m fine” is often a wildly ambitious statement. No toxic positivity, no performance. Just real processing.
This package is structured to be a tight, intentional container that offers a focused group format without requiring an open-ended commitment. It is set up as a four-session package that includes an individual intake and three 90-minute group sessions carefully designed to provide education, preparation, EMDR-based exercises, group support, and time for reflection.
No specific emotional outcome or timeline can be promised.
Format: 1-Hour Individual Session (1:1)
The Vibe: Just you and your therapist, dropping the guard.
What we do: Before jumping into the group, we meet one-on-one to identify one or two areas you want to explore, and discuss your goals, boundaries, coping resources, and questions about participating in the group. We'll map out your coping toolkit, establish your boundaries, and decide whether the group format feels appropriate and safe for your current capacity.
Format: Three 90-Minute Group Sessions
The Vibe: Completely unmasked, judgment-free, and grounded. Think of it less like a clinical circle and more like an intimate backstage session with a crew that just gets it.
What We Do: Three extended group sessions with time for preparation, structured EMDR-based exercises, breaks, reflection, and closing. We kick the standard 50-minute therapy clock to the curb. We utilize Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP). Because EMDR allows your brain to reprocess heavy memories internally, you never have to lay out your rawest secrets or deepest vulnerabilities to the room. You get the full clinical power of the track-by-track exploration without sacrificing a single ounce of your privacy.
You don't have to over-explain: In a group setting, you quickly realize you aren't the only one dealing with a brain that won't turn off. There is immense power in shared context.
A More Concentrated Format: Traditional 50-minute sessions can sometimes feel like you’re just getting warmed up right when the clock runs out. The 90-minute format gives the group more time for preparation, structured work, breaks, questions, and reflection.
Privacy Retained: You are in the driver's seat. You can work with your own targets without describing every detail to the group. You get the full clinical benefits of the protocol without having to voice your deepest vulnerabilities to the room. (Note: Confidentiality boundaries and group guidelines will be reviewed before we begin.)
You’re dealing with anxiety, burnout, or a stubborn life transition that has you feeling stuck.
You are tired of talking about the same things without feeling changes and want to learn about a structured, research-informed approach.
You appreciate a relaxed environment where you can wear sweatpants, say exactly what you mean, swear, laugh, cry, and show up as yourself without having to put on a polished performance.
The group intensives are a complete package. The $550 investment covers both the individual intake and all three 90-minute EMDR sessions.
Groups are strictly limited to 6 participants per cohort to ensure an intentional, supportive space.
