You have it all together.
At least on the outside.
You’re good at juggling a lot and it shows. You’ve climbed the success ladder at work and handle multiple responsibilities. You’re able to manage more than most. You have a family that you love and pour yourself into. People depend on you, because you consistently show up.
But on the inside, you know there’s something that needs your attention. You’re feeling more and more distracted. On a good day, it’s causing your patience to thin and reactions to intensify. But on other days, you feel like you’re busting at the seams. You want therapy. You need it. But finding the space in an already full schedule feels daunting. With all the plates you’re spinning, how is there any time?
Weekly therapy simply doesn’t fit into the reality of your week.
But EMDR Intensives can.
EMDR Intensives allow the work to unfold at a pace that supports real movement, without the constant stopping and restarting of weekly sessions.
If you’re ready to focus and give yourself the time and attention this work requires, reach out to learn more.
An EMDR Intensive offers the support and space you need, without disrupting the rest of your life.

EMDR Intensives offer a focused, contained way to do this work

EMDR Intensives are designed to help settle the patterns that keep pulling your attention and energy away from the life you’re trying to live. With dedicated time and space, the work can unfold without the constant stopping and restarting that often comes with weekly sessions.

An intensive allows you to focus in, stay with the work, and give your nervous system enough continuity to create real movement. Instead of opening things up and immediately having to shift back into work or responsibilities, you’re able to remain present and supported throughout the process.

If you’re ready to step out of survival mode and give this work the time and attention it deserves, an EMDR Intensive may be the right next step.

EMDR Intensives by Lauran Daugherty Hahn, LMHC

Hi, I’m Lauran Hahn, LMHC, owner and clinical director of Mindful Living Counseling in Orlando. I’m an EMDRIA-Certified Therapist, an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, and an EMDR Facilitator with ConnectEMDR. All EMDR Intensives at Mindful Living Counseling are facilitated directly by me.

Trauma therapy is at the heart of who I am as a therapist. My own healing journey is what led me into this work and continues to shape how I show up with clients. Because of that, I’ve spent years deepening my training in trauma-focused approaches that support nervous-system regulation, pacing, and integration. I’m certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and also incorporate expressive arts modalities, including sand tray, when it supports the work.

I don’t approach trauma therapy as one-size-fits-all. I work integratively, using these modalities together to create a customized EMDR Intensive that meets you where you are in your healing process. The goal is always thoughtful, well-paced work that feels contained and responsive, not rushed or formulaic.

Commonly Asked Questions About EMDR Intensives

Have you been referred to EMDR Intensives by another professional? Or has a close friend or relative had profound results with EMDR and is now suggesting that you should try it?

If you’re wondering what in the world is an EMDR Intensive, we are here to answer those questions. There are aspects of EMDR Intensives that are different than regular talk therapy and we want to provide as much information about the process so you can feel comfortable before you even pick up the phone to call.

What should I expect in an EMDR Intensive?

EMDR Intensives are individualized, in-person therapy experiences designed to meet the specific needs of each client. Intensives are offered over one to three days, depending on your goals and readiness.

Full-day EMDR Intensives run from 9:30am–4:30pm and include built-in breaks throughout the day, including a lunch break.
Half-day EMDR Intensives run from 9:30am–12:30pm with a break.

Each intensive is intentionally paced and customized. For more detailed information about the process, you can read our blog: What to Expect in an EMDR Intensive.

Can I continue to meet with my therapist after my intensive?

Yes. Clients may schedule follow-up sessions after an intensive as needed. Follow-up sessions may include 2-hour sessions, half-day intensive (3 hours), or an additional full-day intensive.

How is an EMDR Intensive different from weekly therapy?

EMDR Intensives combine multiple sessions over the course of one, two, or three days. Your therapist will be able to guide you into healing more quickly as there is more time for content to come up for you to process. EMDR weekly therapy is a single session lasting 45 minutes, which can limit how much content you can process.

Why is an EMDR Intensive beneficial?

EMDR Intensives are beneficial for those who want to feel a more immediate difference in their day to day. With regular therapy, change accumulates over time, but in the intensive, you can accelerate the immediate transformation.

How does an EMDR Intensive save time?

During weekly EMDR sessions, we are required to transition into the therapy session, do a piece of EMDR Therapy work, and transition out of therapy all within 50 minutes. With an EMDR Intensive, we save hours in transition time by meeting over an extended period during the intensive.

How do I decide if I should do 1, 2, or 3 days of an EMDR intensive?

EMDR Intensives are 100% customizable to meet your needs. You and your therapist will meet for a 30 to 45-minute consultation and determine your goals for the EMDR Intensive. Your therapist will recommend the length of the EMDR Therapy Intensive based on your needs and goals.

Who is not a good candidate for an EMDR Intensive?

If you have a frequent and automatic dissociative response to stress, you might not be a good candidate for an EMDR Intensive. Please make sure you let your therapist know if this applies to you. Discuss any other concerns with your therapist so that you feel comfortable and confident about your decision to schedule an EMDR Intensive.

What Should I expect before the EMDR Intensive?

After your initial 45-minute consultation and once the required paperwork is complete, your therapist will curate an individualized workbook with pre-work designed to build resources and insight as you prepare for your intensive. With your permission, your therapist will contact your current/past therapists and/or your psychiatrist to help design an intensive that will allow you to effectively and efficiently meet to your goals.

What can I expect after the EMDR Intensive?

Your therapist will send you a follow-up packet containing the specific resources used in your intensive, along with additional materials to support your ongoing healing journey. Some clients choose to schedule a follow-up single-day intensive as needed or on occassion.

Upon your request, your therapist will contact your current therapist or psychiatrist and provide an update and recommendations for moving forward.

Do you use modalities other than EMDR in your intensives?

While the primary mode of therapy is EMDR during an intensive, we do incorporate other modalities. Examples of other types of therapy include Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, and sand tray.
