At Rooted Counseling & Wellness, we specialize in treating trauma and are proud to offer EMDR Intensives.  These sessions are designed to provide a powerful opportunity for deep therapeutic exploration and transformation within a condensed timeframe. These sessions are thoughtfully customized to meet your unique needs, creating a focused, supportive environment for meaningful healing.

Why Choose an Intensive?

Unlike traditional weekly therapy, EMDR intensives allow you to start your healing journey quickly and see the impact of sessions sooner.  Consider these benefits: 

• Concentrated Focus: Often times in weekly therapy life gets in the way and consumes sessions, distracting from therapy goals of trauma recovery.  EMDR Intensives are intentional, structured, and transformational.  
• Symptom Relief: This format reduces the time spent living with trauma symptoms, improving work, relationships, parenting, and overall well-being.
• Cost: While the initial cost is more, the length of treatment is shorter which may save money spent on trauma treatment long term. 
• Quality & Accessibility: Clients who live in rural areas or even out of state can travel to our offices in Draper and South Jordan for a few days to receive this high-quality and premier service with minimal time away from work and family. 

What to Expect During an EMDR Intensive

During these sessions, you will engage in a process called pendulation, which involves alternating between the processing of traumatic memories and breaks that incorporate practical skills and resourcing techniques. This dual approach not only facilitates effective memory processing but also equips you with valuable tools to ground, contain, and regulate your nervous system in daily life

Our EMDR therapists are trained in Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Movement, allowing us to integrate these evidence-based modalities into the EMDR process. These techniques, known as interweaves, help to alleviate symptoms, deepen the therapeutic experience, and enhance your overall progress toward healing.

Flexible Scheduling Options

We offer several formats to fit your schedule and therapeutic needs:

• 5 hours over 3–4 days
• 5–6 hours over 2–3 days
• 3–4 hours over 4–5 weeks

This flexibility ensures an immersive experience tailored to your availability while promoting profound healing and personal growth.

Investment and Payment Details

EMDR intensives are offered as a premium, self-pay service at $200 per hour, with a minimum commitment of 15 hours. Please note:

• We do not bill insurance for this service as insurance does not cover EMDR Intensives.  We also do not provide balance billing or super bills for these services.
