Psychology Today Profile

EMDR Therapy & Intensives

Brianne offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process distressing memories, trauma, and negative beliefs that continue to impact their emotional well-being.

EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation alongside structured therapeutic processing to help individuals work through difficult experiences, reduce emotional distress, and develop more adaptive beliefs about themselves and their experiences.

For individuals seeking more concentrated therapeutic support, Brianne offers EMDR Intensives. These extended sessions allow additional time for preparation, trauma processing, and integration within a single appointment, providing an alternative to traditional weekly psychotherapy sessions.

Available EMDR Treatment Options

50-Minute EMDR Therapy — $180

An individualized psychotherapy session focused on processing distressing memories, trauma, negative beliefs, and emotional experiences using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

3-Hour EMDR Intensive — $900

An extended EMDR treatment session designed to provide focused therapeutic support for individuals experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or persistent emotional distress. This intensive allows dedicated time for preparation, targeted trauma processing, and integration within a structured therapeutic setting.

3-Hour Recent Trauma EMDR Intensive (R-TEP) — $950

A specialized EMDR intensive using the Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol (R-TEP), designed for individuals who have recently experienced a traumatic or distressing event. This structured approach focuses on processing recent traumatic experiences, reducing associated emotional distress, and supporting psychological recovery.

Preparation & Assessment

An initial consultation or preparation session is required before an EMDR intensive to assess clinical suitability, establish appropriate coping resources, and develop an individualized treatment plan. This appointment is billed separately at Brianne’s standard rate of $180 per 50-minute session.

Follow-Up Care

Follow-up sessions may be recommended to support integration, monitor treatment progress, and address emerging concerns. Additional 50-minute sessions are billed at Brianne’s standard rate of $180.

Important Considerations

EMDR intensives are intended for individuals who are clinically appropriate for extended trauma-focused treatment. Suitability is determined through an initial assessment considering emotional stability, trauma history, dissociation, current symptoms, and readiness for trauma processing.

Additional preparation or stabilization sessions may be recommended before proceeding with intensive treatment. Treatment outcomes and the number of sessions required vary based on individual needs.

Insurance Coverage

EMDR therapy and intensives are psychotherapy services and may be eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefits that cover Registered Psychotherapists, subject to the client’s individual insurance plan.

Clients are responsible for confirming their eligibility, coverage limits, and reimbursement requirements directly with their insurance provider.

Payment is collected in advance to reserve the intensive appointment. A payment confirmation is provided at booking, and an insurance-eligible psychotherapy receipt is issued after the service has been rendered, in accordance with applicable professional standards.
