EMDR & IFS Intensive Therapy in Colorado

Life can sometimes feel like it’s all too much—especially for women who seem to carry the weight of everything on their shoulders. Maybe you’re the one who feels like you’re never doing enough, who worries about not meeting everyone’s expectations, or who struggles with feelings of self-doubt, even though you work harder than anyone you know. You might feel disconnected from yourself and your relationships, and no matter how much you strive for perfection, something still feels like it’s missing.

What if, instead of staying stuck in these cycles, you could finally find relief, clarity, and a sense of peace? That’s where EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) intensives come in. These therapies, used together, have the power to create real change in your life. And the best part? You can experience this transformation faster than you might think.

Why Choose EMDR & IFS Intensive Therapy?

EMDR and IFS are both incredibly effective therapies, and when combined in an intensive format, they offer profound healing in a shorter period. If you’ve ever felt like traditional therapy just isn’t getting to the heart of the problem, this intensive approach may be the answer.

Instead of weeks or months of gradual progress, intensives give you the time and space to dive deep and make lasting changes faster.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck or like you’re just spinning your wheels, an intensive session could be exactly what you need to break free.

How EMDR and IFS Work Together

These two therapies, although powerful on their own, work together in a way that makes healing feel more possible and even more permanent.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing):

EMDR is a therapy that helps you process and heal from painful memories and experiences. If you’ve been carrying around past hurts, whether from childhood or more recent struggles, EMDR helps you reprocess those memories so they no longer affect you as strongly. The goal is to reduce the emotional charge of these memories so that they no longer hold you back.

When done in an intensive session, EMDR gives us the time we need to really focus on several areas of pain or trauma. It can help you process emotional triggers more quickly, offering relief that can feel like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.

IFS (Internal Family Systems):

IFS works by helping you understand the different parts of yourself—the inner critic, the protector, the wounded parts that still carry old pain. This approach gives you permission to care for these parts, offering them compassion, and helping them heal in a way that feels safe. The beautiful thing about IFS is that we don’t jump into healing your deep wounds until you, and all the parts of you, are ready.

In an intensive session, we’ll use IFS to connect with the parts of you that are struggling and give them the space they need to heal. This is what makes EMDR work even more powerfully—it’s the support of IFS that ensures you’re not diving too deep until your parts feel ready.

What to Expect During an Intensive Session

An EMDR and IFS intensive therapy session is all about you, your needs, and your healing journey. It’s personalized and focused, with plenty of time to do deep work. Here’s what you can expect:

Pre-Intensive Intake Before we dive into the intensive, we’ll have a conversation about your goals, what you’re struggling with, and any fears or concerns you might have. This helps me understand exactly how we can work best together during the intensive.
The Intensive Experience Once we get started, we’ll use EMDR to address the memories or experiences that are causing you pain. We’ll then incorporate IFS to make sure that the parts of you that are holding onto this pain are given the space and care they need to heal. You’ll have the time to explore these experiences in a way that feels safe and supported, allowing for deep, lasting change.
Post-Intensive Integration Healing doesn’t end when the intensive session is over. After the session, I’ll provide you with personalized strategies to help integrate the work we’ve done into your everyday life. If needed, we can schedule follow-up sessions to continue your healing journey.

Who Can Benefit from EMDR and IFS Intensives?

These intensives are perfect for anyone who:

Feels trapped in cycles of self-doubt, perfectionism, or emotional overwhelm.
Is carrying around unresolved trauma that keeps resurfacing.
Wants to break free from old patterns and rediscover who they truly are.
Longs for peace, clarity, and a more fulfilling life, but feels stuck in a rut.

If you’ve been in therapy for a while but still feel like something is missing, an intensive might be just what you need to make real progress.

Why Choose an Intensive?

Traditional therapy is amazing, but sometimes, progress can feel slow. When life is moving quickly, or when you’re dealing with big issues, you might need something more focused to help you heal faster. That’s where intensives come in.

Here’s why an intensive might be the right choice for you:

We focus deeply on you: Instead of the distractions of day-to-day life, we have uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your healing.
You’ll make faster progress: By dedicating hours to healing in one session, we can get through more material in a shorter time and see quicker changes.
It’s a more lasting experience: The work we do in an intensive can create long-lasting shifts, helping you to feel more grounded and connected to your authentic self.

EMDR and IFS Intensive FAQ

What’s the cost of an intensive?

Single 3-hour session: $900
2 Day, 5 Hour Immersive Experience: $1500

The cost reflects the deep work we’ll do together and the transformation you’ll experience in that concentrated time. This is an investment in your well-being and your future.

2. How quickly will I see results?

3. What if I get overwhelmed during the session?

Your safety is my top priority. We take things at a pace that works for you. Thanks to IFS, we don’t dive into deep trauma work until all the parts of you are ready. If at any point you start to feel overwhelmed, we’ll slow down and adjust the approach.
