EMDR for Trauma Support
EMDR Intensives are extended 2–3-hour therapy sessions designed to help you process trauma more deeply and efficiently than traditional weekly appointments. Instead of spreading work out over months, an intensive allows you to stay engaged, regulated, and focused, helping you move through painful memories and emotions in a structured, supported way.
Using EMDR therapy, a highly researched trauma-healing method, these intensives are ideal for individuals seeking faster progress, preparing major life transitions, or wanting focused care for complex or long-held experiences. Our clinicians offer EMDR intensives in a safe, compassionate environment at our clinic in Edmonton, supporting those processing traumatic loss, sudden or violent events, car accidents, or ongoing symptoms like anxiety, grief, and emotional overwhelm.
What to Expect
Deep Processing Session
Your intensive includes extended EMDR trauma processing using bilateral stimulation, grounding tools, and regulation strategies. This dedicated time supports a deep healing experience, allowing your mind and body to work through memories and emotions with fewer interruptions.
​
Integration & Follow-Up
After the intensive, your therapist will help you integrate what came up, discuss the next steps, and recommend follow-up sessions if needed. You’ll leave with tools to support ongoing emotional stability and clarity.
