EMDR intensives designed for busy individuals to break free from burnout, self-doubt, and overwhelming stress.
Life in Suffolk County, NY, can be demanding for parents and professionals alike. Balancing work, family, and personal wellness often feels like an uphill battle. You’ve likely tried traditional therapy, and while it can offer helpful insights, progress often feels slow and unfulfilling. You find yourself leaving each session still carrying the weight of stress, emotional triggers, and self-doubt.
EMDR intensive therapy on Long Island provides a way to break free from this cycle. Instead of week-by-week sessions that barely scratch the surface, our intensives offer deep, focused healing designed to fit your busy life. Gain meaningful breakthroughs and find relief, faster.
EMDR Intensives – What Are They?
EMDR intensives on Long Island are structured, personalized therapy sessions designed to accelerate healing. Unlike traditional weekly therapy, our EMDR intensive therapy focuses on rapid, targeted progress over a few dedicated days. This flexible format allows you to work through deep-rooted emotions, body sensations, and negative beliefs that don’t align with your cognitive understanding.
Benefits of EMDR Intensives Include:
- Accelerated Healing: Engage in focused and sustained therapeutic work for faster results.
- Reduced Overall Therapy Time: Condensed sessions allow you to reach your goals in less time.
- Focused and Personalized: Tailored to your unique needs for a customized approach.
- Deeper Connections: Extended, immersive sessions foster a strong therapeutic relationship and deep healing.
Why Traditional Therapy Might Not Be Enough
Many individuals in Suffolk County, NY, find traditional therapy helpful for gaining insight. However, if you’re ready for more impactful results, EMDR intensive therapy may be exactly what you need:
- Insight Alone Isn’t Enough: While understanding the “why” behind your struggles is valuable, it doesn’t always shift deeply ingrained emotional or physical reactions. EMDR intensives on Long Island help rewire these responses.
- Therapy on a Lunch Break Isn’t Working: Short, fragmented sessions can leave you feeling emotionally drained without resolution. Intensive therapy allows for a more immersive, uninterrupted healing experience.
- Deep Healing Takes Time: Traditional 60-minute sessions, driven by insurance constraints, rarely allow for profound healing. Intensive therapy offers the dedicated time needed to work through core issues.
- The System Has Limitations: Many therapists are limited by insurance rules and lack access to integrated, specialized training. EMDR intensive therapy in Suffolk County breaks these barriers, offering holistic care that goes beyond surface-level solutions.
Research supports the effectiveness of EMDR Intensives!
Although EMDR intensive treatment is relatively new in the field, research has shown this approach to be well tolerated, safe, and an effective, non-invasive way to address severe PTSD and complex trauma histories. Patients across the board have experienced relief and reduced risk for prematurely ending treatment. Feel free to check out some more research here, here and here.
Intensive trauma therapy treatment is also an economically valuable way to approach healing the root of trauma. The same healing can be done in a shorter time frame, essentially resulting in a more affordable way to get back to living your life without painful reminders or triggers.

EMDR Intensive Packages and Pricing:
EMDR Intensives are not covered by insurance as a billable service.
At Long Island EMDR, we offer structured packages to meet your unique needs:
✨ Mini Intensives
Sometimes an hour just isn’t enough.
3-hour therapy sessions on a monthly basis. Our 3-hour mini intensives give you the space to slow down, breathe, and really go there — without rushing your healing process. Many of our clients find this format far more grounding than traditional weekly sessions. Mini intensives help you build trust with your therapist and create enough time to access deeper parts of your story.
While these sessions aren’t covered by insurance, we offer them at all locations. That said — in just one mini intensive, you can often accomplish more than three separate one-hour sessions.
🌿 Full Trauma Intensives
When you’re ready to go all in.
Our 3–5 day EMDR intensives are designed for clients who are ready to work through core wounds and release stuck trauma. These full-day sessions give you the time, safety, and therapeutic support to create real momentum in your healing.
Although insurance doesn't currently cover intensives, they’re the format we recommend for most people looking to make meaningful progress quickly. These experiences are deep, focused, and designed to help you reset your nervous system and reconnect with yourself.
Locations: Our intensives take place in our Smithtown or Bohemia offices, or virtually for your convenience.
Financing Your EMDR Intensive Treatment
At Long Island EMDR, we want to make care accessible to everyone and we understand paying upfront for intensive treatment may be out of reach for many New Yorkers. That is why we enrolled with Care Credit to provide financing options to our clients in order to increase their access to care.
