EMDR intensives are perfect for individuals who have done talk therapy but would like something more, something deeper. You’ve talked about your trauma history or significant events in weekly therapy, but you don’t feel that you’ve made the progress that you desire. You are now well aware of triggers and circumstances that cause you distress, however, these troubling experiences still live in your body, leaving you vulnerable to survival mode, fight, flight, and freeze activation. It may not be significant trauma holding you back, but rather limiting beliefs and unconscious obstacles that interfere with having a more meaningful life. EMDR intensives can help you release unconscious blocks You are an aware and self-observant individual who is finally motivated to get “unstuck” in your life. Like many New Yorkers with busy lives, you don’t have the time or energy to devote years to healing via weekly psychotherapy sessions. You are looking for therapy that is super-charged, efficient with long-lasting impact.

“With advanced training in EMDR, Intensives, and many other modalities, I can help you uncover the true root of your issue, saving you months and years of talking about your struggles without gaining the relief you need to heal.” 

Love your current therapist? Yes, let’s Collaborate with Your Current Therapist!

I don’t want to mess with a good thing. If you’re already seeing a therapist, EMDR intensives can be done alongside the great work you’re already doing, as an adjunct to those efforts. You will find that EMDR enhances the work that you do with your current therapist. You continue to see your therapist weekly, while we do deep, focused processing of specific targets for a limited amount of time.

How does science-backed, evidence-based EMDR therapy lead to healing and restoration of mind & body?

The traditional approach to talk therapy is changing. thanks to science. We are learning that understanding and intellectualizing problems does not necessarily lead to healing. As much as you desire a reality-based life, your past experiences are likely interfering with your current reality, your dreams, your relationships, your quality of life.

The human brain is wired to ruminate, that’s how it keeps you safe. It’s just not always needed!

Your trauma mind keeps you looping with all kinds of fears, remembering, questions, and self-doubt. Most of these experiences get trapped in the mind and often show up as physical symptoms such as aches, pains, and mystery illnesses. The body holds many sensations and symptoms and when we connect to these sensations, we often find the healing and the wisdom. EMDR therapy connects the mind and body so that your experience feels less fragmented and more integrated. EMDR therapy as a treatment involves revisiting disturbing memories in a controlled manner along with bilateral stimulation, which is typically, tapping alternately and eye movement. It is believed that this process helps the brain reprocess traumatic experiences and encourages integration which includes a more adaptive perception and reframe. Successful EMDR helps you acknowledge the past without disturbing symptoms, empowering you to move forward in more positive ways..

what qualifies as trauma?

Perhaps you’ve heard of “big T” traumas and “little t” traumas? “Big T” trauma is what most people think of when it comes to traumatic events—things like catastrophic accidents, natural disasters, and violent crimes. “Little t” trauma refers to events that might not be as obvious but can still overwhelm our capacity to cope—events like parental divorce, switching schools, the death of a pet, and being left at summer camp. It may have been a single moment in childhood that forever changed your life, or a collection of events over time. No matter the origin of your trauma, EMDR intensives can help you rewrite the script so that you can heal and move forward with your precious life, in less time than traditional therapy.

Why choose an EMDR Intensive

  • Urgency - You’ve been participating in therapy for some time, but something has arisen that feels urgent and your current therapist does not offer EMDR Therapy. I’m delighted to work alongside your current therapy to help resolve this issue.

  • Flexibility - This working method is more suitable for many people's schedules and goals than having EMDR sessions once a week.

  • Comfort - When processing old trauma wounds, things can get stirred up. If the next session isn’t until the following week, that leaves a week of possible discomfort. With longer and more frequent sessions, we stay focussed on processing until the material feels finished.

  • Efficiency - With weekly EMDR, typically we take some time to settle in and review, and inevitably there is a pull to talk about events of the week, which takes us away from important therapy goals. When we work intensively we can stay focused on the trauma processing with less distraction.

  • Finances - The time saved in EMDR intensives translates to significant cost savings. Rather than paying for weekly therapy sessions spanning many months or years, you pay for six hours of immersive therapy which saves money compared to weekly sessions over time.

  • Relief - EMDR therapy offers rapid relief for many symptoms including anxiety, panic, phobias, nightmares, PTSD, depression, chronic pain, and emotional overwhelm. Immersive EMDR sessions offer faster results.

  • Faster - It can be enough of a challenge to maintain work and other obligations while working through trauma. EMDR processing can be briefly disruptive. Working in a concentrated way reduces the number of disrupted work days to just 1-3 days depending on your situation.

  • Deadline - You have something up and coming and you would like to resolve this traumatic memory.

what happens in an EMDR intensive?

EMDR intensive sessions offer the opportunity to address your triggers, core wounds, and trauma-related symptoms in an individualized and concentrated therapeutic manner. This structured approach facilitates and quickens the healing process in ways that weekly 50-minute psychotherapy sessions can’t. It can often be used adjunctly to accelerate your weekly therapy. After a history and goal-taking intake is completed, we design the intensive to fit your needs and goals. During the intake, we discuss your current life circumstances, triggers, external stressors, and coping mechanisms.

When we begin EMDR processing, you will experience healing, release, and relief. You will be supported to feel safe, resourced, and grounded. EMDR does not just use cognitive processing, but rather deep, mind-body-brain-nervous system healing. As an advanced, EMDRIA-trained clinician, it is my style to integrate other healing modalities into our sessions, such as Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), Positive Neuroplasticity training, and coaching. I’ve successfully synthesized these highly effective, evidence-based models to improve whole-body healing and transformation.

When we feel we have done the work together, we will meet a week later for a post-processing session to debrief and support integration to better understand how you can move forward in your life with your new and accurate, reality-based perceptions of yourself and your world.

There are many reasons why you now may need a concentrated Intensive EMDR therapy approach:

  • Require Rapid Relief - People who are experiencing severe symptoms of PTSD or trauma-related disorders and need rapid intervention to alleviate distressing symptoms may benefit from intensive EMDR. The concentrated nature of the sessions allows for quicker processing and relief. EMDR intensives can provide the stability and healing needed to move forward in your life.

  • Have Limited Availability - Individuals with busy schedules or who find it challenging to commit to regular weekly therapy sessions may find intensive EMDR more manageable. It condenses treatment into a shorter period, making it more feasible for those with time constraints. Many find that they make more progress in a handful of EMDR sessions than in years of traditional talk therapy and CBT therapy.

  • Prefer Immersive Therapy - Some individuals may prefer a more immersive therapeutic experience where they can focus intensely on their healing process over a few consecutive days or a week. This means less talking about the weak events, and more work focused on healing target problems. This immersion can help maintain focus and momentum in addressing trauma. An intensive allows clients to deeply immerse themselves in the therapeutic process without the distractions of daily life. This focused approach can help individuals gain insight, develop new coping strategies, and foster personal growth more effectively.

  • Enhanced emotional processing: The concentrated nature of intensives can facilitate more profound emotional processing and healing, enabling clients to work through complex or deeply-rooted issues more efficiently than in traditional therapy.

  • Seek Efficiency - Intensive EMDR can be appealing to those who value efficiency in their therapeutic process. It allows for comprehensive treatment in a shorter timeframe compared to traditional weekly sessions, potentially reducing overall therapy duration.

  • Desire Continuity in Care - EMDR intensives can ensure continuity in therapeutic care, minimizing breaks between sessions that might disrupt progress. This continuous care can be beneficial for maintaining momentum and preventing regression that frequently occurs in traditional psychotherapy.

Perhaps you’ve heard of “big T” traumas and “little t” traumas? “Big T” trauma is what most people think of when it comes to traumatic events—things like catastrophic accidents, natural disasters, violent crimes. “Little t” trauma refers to events that might not be as obvious, but can still overwhelm our capacity to cope—events like parental divorce, switching schools, the death of a pet, and being left at summer camp. It may have been a single moment in childhood that forever changed your life, or a collection of events over time. No matter the origin of your trauma, EMDR intensives can help you rewrite the script so that you can heal and move forward with your precious life, and in less time than traditional therapy.

What Does a Typical EMDR Intensive Day Look Like?

  1. Brief phone introduction - We will have a brief phone discussion to see if your goals are a good fit for an EMDR intensive. I will provide you with an estimated amount of time for the work. If it feels right for you, I will offer you my first opening so we can get started.

  2. Initial Intake session - You’ll start with scheduling a free 90-minute intake consultation. We will discuss your goals for the intensive as well as identify key goals, resources, and limiting beliefs.

  3. Processing Session - A standard processing day will be 3 hours, over 3 days, typically. We identify the target memories that you would like to process. We begin the resourcing protocol then move on to processing target memories. We’ll use the last 30 minutes or so to help you regulate.

  4. Debriefing, follow up session - We summarize the targets that we worked on together, as well as the processing parts work and other aspects of your experience.

If this is adjunctive work, I’m happy to talk with your individual or couple therapist to discuss your experience and ongoing therapeutic goals.

How does online EMDR work with a trained trauma therapist NYC?

As an extensively trained online trauma therapist with a NYC private practice, I have found online EMDR treatments to be just as effective as in-person treatments. I supportively guide you through bilateral stimulation techniques like eye movements or alternative stimuli. We notice and talk about what comes up. You will get incredible results without reliving the trauma. The only difference is that a screen is between us. EMDRA intensives are no different. You will work to ensure that you are in a secure and comfortable environment with your pet and any snacks and beverages that you may need.

Are there safety concerns with eMDR and is it safe for me?

While generally considered safe, EMDR therapy can certainly lead to some temporary emotional discomfort and strong feelings. Many report headaches, fatigue, and experiencing vivid dreams. It's important to remember that EMDR isn't a good fit for everyone. Together we will decide if it’s a good fit for your healing journey. Individuals with complex trauma or C-PTSD will certainly need more preparation and resourcing and healing will be a much longer endeavor, not suitable virtually and may need modifications such as a less intensive format.

EMDR intensives are a great fit for…

  • Painful memories and past experiences

  • Negative beliefs, thoughts and feelings (unworthy, unlovable, not enough)

  • Anxiety, fears, and phobias

  • Chronic sadness

  • Medical traumas and chronic pain and illness

  • Relationship patterns and dynamics

  • Grief, loss, or experiences that disturb your nervous system

  • Divorce and separation

  • Attachment wounds and betrayal

  • Recent traumatic events (EMDR intensives can help avoid experiencing PTSD)

  • Traumatic car accident, fire, or natural disaster

  • Victim of a crime, including sexual assault 

EMDR intensives are not a great fit for…

  • Individuals experiencing active suicidality

  • Individuals experiencing severe dissociation

  • Individuals who are experiencing overwhelming life stressors

Helpful strategies woven into EMDR Intensives

  • Internal Family Systems & parts work

  • Positive Neuroplasticity

  • Positive Psychology

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  • Somatic exercises

  • Nervous system regulation support

  • Self-compassion exercises

  • Guided meditations

  • Breath work and resourcing

  • Energy medicine

  • Manifestation and unblocking

About Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan

I’ve been in the holistic wellness & psychology field for nearly twenty years. As a licensed psychotherapist with a private psychotherapy practice in New York City, I blend what I’ve found to be the most effective practices in psychology, neurobiology, attachment, alternative medicine, nutrition, coaching, and mind-body medicine practices. I believe that lasting change and transformation is possible when given the right tools to thrive. I’ve received extensive training and certification in a range of innovative, effective, and evidence-based therapies to offer comprehensive care.

As a holistic psychotherapist, I believe it’s important to address the root cause of emotional and somatic suffering. As a trauma-trained therapist, I am influenced by humanist and existential philosophy, relational theory, attachment theory, psychoanalytic concepts, mindfulness, and somatic, mind, and body psychology. I have received extensive post-graduate training in EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Nutrition and Integrative Medicine For Mental Health, and more. In marriage and couple counseling, my work is influenced by the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

As neuroscience demonstrates, the brain can heal, and the body and mind are inextricably linked. My 20+ years of experience with mindfulness, yoga therapy, and meditation greatly influence my work as a mental health provider. A Holistic therapy model ensures that you thrive in the many aspects of your life—including your relationship with yourself and others. Together, we work with practices designed to create an environment that supports optimal physical and mental health well-being.

talk therapy not enough? Find lasting Healing & Transformation with EMDR

If traditional talk therapy has not yielded the desired healing results, it might be time to consider a different model of care. I’ve been trained in many effective therapies, but I find myself consistently returning to EMDR. EMDR Therapy changed my practice years ago because it works and it changes lives. It is the one treatment method that is consistently powerful and transformative for my patients, especially when other highly effective therapies such as IFS, CBT, and Somatic Experiencing are integrated into sessions. Therapy is highly individualized, and depending on your unique needs, chosen therapy modalities may include: EMDR, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, CBT, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing®. I completed EMDRIA-approved EMDR advanced Levels I & II training and supervision many years ago and I’ve used it in my New York City psychotherapy private practice consistently and with excellent results.

EMDR therapy is highly effective in addressing underlying beliefs, patterns, and blocks that can hinder progress in traditional therapy or life coaching. EMDR treatment can help transform mere survival into thriving, leading to a life free from disruptive symptoms. By reprocessing difficult or traumatic memories, EMDR can boost resilience and vitality in the nervous system. EMDR is not only for trauma; it is also valuable for enhancing performance in athletes, creatives, and work-related endeavors. During the pandemic, many of us discovered that EMDR can be effectively offered to many patients virtually. Virtual EMDR can be a powerful addition to your therapy journey, whether used in conjunction with your existing therapy or as a standalone solution. learn more about EMDR Therapy

Expert, experienced Online Therapy Serving NYC & NY State Residents

faqs about online therapy in nYC: how does Virtual therapy/video therapy work?

The technology for telemedicine has been available for decades, but the pandemic made virtual therapy a necessity. It's surprising how many people have benefitted from online virtual therapy. Like many therapists in NYC, I've been conducting virtual sessions for some time, so I'm comfortable working with technology. It's important to note that teletherapy isn't suitable for everyone seeking counseling, as many people prefer conducting psychotherapy sessions in person.

How does Online therapy work?

This holistic psychotherapy and wellness practice in New York City understands that many people have busy schedules and may find it difficult to commute to therapy sessions. That's why I offer virtual therapy and telephone therapy as modern options for counseling. This is especially convenient for individuals who work, travel, have young children with different schedules, are young adults, college students, or expats. After scheduling an online session, you will receive a secure session link from the HIPAA-compliant platform SimplePractice. You can access the virtual therapy office using your computer, iOS/Android phone, iPad, or any other tablet-enabled device. Most laptops have a built-in camera and microphone, making it easy to participate in the sessions. Creating an emotionally safe space in your home or office for virtual sessions is also important, and all you need is a strong internet connection.

What kind of therapy is offered virtually?

Online sessions are treated the same way as face-to-face sessions, using the same evidence-based therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic psychotherapy, life coaching, wellness coaching, and stress management. Remote EMDR has been found to be just as effective for trauma resolution and other concerns as in-person EMDR. However, not everyone or every situation should be treated remotely, so it’s important to contact potential therapists to determine if virtual therapy is appropriate for your situation. Research now demonstrates that therapy sessions conducted by teletherapy are just as effective as face-to-face therapy. Read the research.

Who can benefit from virtual therapy?

Anyone can access high-quality therapy in a private, confidential, and convenient manner. Seeking therapy with an experienced NYC psychotherapist can lead to healthier relationships, new perspectives, reaching goals, and building resilience. Therapy can provide support during stressful and challenging times, helping you feel less alone with your problems. Living in New York City comes with unique challenges, including a fast-paced lifestyle and high levels of stress. If you're experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, loss, substance use, or unresolved trauma PTSD, know that you're not alone. Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan offers evidence-based counseling and an integrative psychotherapy philosophy tailored to your unique needs. As a licensed psychotherapist in New York, I can see you whether you live in the NYC metro area or anywhere in New York State. There are various modern therapy options available, such as BetterHelp, TalkSpace, and the numerous licensed psychotherapists and psychologists on Psychology Today who provide high-quality therapy in the US and worldwide. Interested in receiving therapy in New York using your health insurance benefits? Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan is In-Network with BCBS & Aetna, and Out-of-Network with most health insurances. I have also been reimbursed by Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, Emblem, Oxford, United, and many more for out-of-network mental health services. Most of my clients are compensated about 50-100% of my fees.
