At the time the agreement is signed, the client will pay Luna Medina-Wolf, LMHC, a nonrefundable deposit equal to half the total cost of the Intensive. For example, this would be a $750 deposit per scheduled day for a 1-day EMDR Intensive or a $375 deposit for each half-day EMDR Intensive. The Client may reschedule their EMDR Intensive session up to one week before the scheduled date without penalty. If the Client completes the scheduled EMDR Intensive session(s), the deposit will be applied to the total cost of the session(s) as outlined in the agreement. The remaining balance is due at the beginning of the session.

We’re happy to work with clients from outside the state! However, to participate in our intensive program, you’ll need to be physically present within Florida during the sessions. We invite you to visit the Sunshine State for a few days of transformative healing. If you need assistance, we can recommend nearby accommodations to make your stay comfortable and convenient. Feel free to reach out to us for more details and support in planning your visit!

Because this is an intensive workshop we will actually do all the work when we are together. The only “expected homework” would be for you to practice your self soothing or grounding techniques if needed.

If you feel your life is not where you would like it to be and you feel you have done therapy but you feel you have not been able to reach your full potential, then an intensive might be right for you. EMDR defines trauma in a broader way. It can be related to big T’s that relate to significant events you experience or it can be a collection of many small t’s (million little cuts) related to helicopter parenting or high expectations. Through an intensive, EMDR can help you achieve your mental health goals much faster than other types of therapy by decreasing anxiety and improving your cognitive beliefs.

EMDR intensives provide a streamlined approach to addressing symptoms, offering a more concentrated and uninterrupted healing experience compared to traditional 50-minute sessions. With the intensive format, the overall treatment time may be significantly reduced, as time typically spent on tasks like: session check-ins, managing immediate crises or concerns, developing coping strategies that may not be necessary post-recovery, etc. are eliminated. This focused approach allows clients to dive deeper into the healing process without the usual session interruptions.

Absolutely, we encourage you to continue the work you are doing with your weekly therapist in addition to the EMDR intensive. The intensive sessions are designed to complement your ongoing therapy, allowing you to focus deeply on specific issues while still benefiting from the broader support and guidance your weekly therapist provides. Collaboration between your therapists can also enhance your overall progress and ensure continuity of care.

2-3 hours of EMDR therapy provides the opportunity to access powerful resources that can boost confidence and performance, or alleviate the harmful effects of a single traumatic event, such as negative thoughts, nightmares, and distressing emotions or physical sensations. While a short EMDR intensive can lead to meaningful healing, more complex conditions like Complex PTSD (resulting from ongoing, relational trauma or “little t” traumas) often require more extensive treatment. For clients dealing with Complex PTSD, we would want to have additional time and days for your intensive treatment. We will go over this together in the consultation call. We offer an online mini intensive of 3-6 hours. We offer 1-5 days intensives as well.
