Usually one time per week for the the initial stage of therapy for best results, then less frequently over time. I will offer my professional opinion about this after an assessment, and in collaboration with you.  I provide care in the most useful and effective way possible, and respect your financial, emotional and time commitment.  

EMDR Therapy may be provided as an Intensive service, on a case by case basis. You could potentially bypass months of weekly sessions, and instead receive EMDR Therapy over 1-2 full days. Together, we  can assess if this is a healthy and safe option for you.
