EMDR & Therapy Intensives in Henderson & Across Nevada
Focused, Integrative Trauma Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Nervous System Healing
Focused, Integrative Trauma Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Nervous System Healing
Sometimes weekly therapy can feel limiting, especially when meaningful material begins to emerge just as the session is ending. EMDR and therapy intensives offer a more focused and immersive therapeutic experience. Creating space for deeper continuity, nervous system support, and integrative trauma work in a more spacious format than traditional weekly therapy.
At Ground + Bloom Therapy, intensives are individualized and thoughtfully paced based on each client’s goals, history, readiness, and nervous system needs. While EMDR may be a central component of the work, intensives will likely also incorporate somatic and mindfulness-based approaches, parts-informed work, grounding and resourcing practices, restorative elements, and yoga-informed support throughout the process.
A More Spacious Approach to Trauma Therapy & EMDR
An EMDR intensive is an extended therapy format designed to allow for greater continuity and depth than may be possible within the rhythm of weekly therapy. Rather than stopping and restarting the work each week, intensives create dedicated space to remain engaged with the therapeutic process for longer periods of time.
Some clients seek intensives because they:
- Want to make more efficient use of their therapy time by reducing the repeated process of checking in, stopping, and restarting the work each week
- Want a more concentrated and intentional therapy format that may help move the work forward more efficiently over time
- Are balancing demanding schedules and may benefit from concentrated therapy work rather than ongoing weekly sessions
- Prefer a more immersive therapeutic experience than traditional weekly therapy
- Are seeking deeper trauma processing and integrative therapeutic work
- Want dedicated time and space to focus more fully on healing and personal growth
- Have the emotional readiness, support, and availability to engage in deeper therapeutic work over a shorter period of time
Intensives vary in length and pacing depending on the client’s needs, treatment goals, and level of readiness.
What is an EMDR Intensive?
EMDR Therapy Intensives
My Approach
Rather than approaching intensives as emotionally overwhelming “marathon sessions,” I aim to create a thoughtful and regulated therapeutic environment with space for pacing, grounding, reflection, and integration alongside deeper processing work.
Depending on the client and clinical goals, an intensive may include:
- EMDR processing
- grounding and resourcing
- mindfulness and meditation
- yoga-informed movement or breathwork
- nervous system regulation practices
- parts-informed exploration
- restorative closure and integration
The structure of each intensive is collaborative and individualized rather than rigidly standardized.
- Adults who are already engaged in personal growth or therapy and are looking for a more immersive and focused therapeutic experience
- Professionals, caregivers, and high-functioning individuals with demanding schedules who may prefer concentrated therapy work over ongoing weekly sessions
- Individuals wanting dedicated time and space to focus more deeply on a specific issue, life transition, trauma history, or recurring pattern
- Clients who feel stuck in therapy and would benefit from greater continuity and momentum in the work
- Individuals interested in integrating EMDR with somatic, mindfulness-based, or parts-informed approaches
- Clients seeking a more intentional and spacious therapeutic pace with time for both processing and integration
- Individuals working through single-incident trauma, relational wounds, chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, or long-standing emotional patterns
At this time, intensives may not be appropriate for individuals experiencing:
- Active suicidal ideation with intent or recent suicide attempts within the past 12 months
- Recent self-harm behaviors requiring higher levels of support or stabilization
- Active psychosis, mania, or severe dissociation that would interfere with safe trauma processing
- Active substance dependence or untreated addiction that may significantly impact emotional regulation or stability during intensive work
- Significant instability, crisis, or safety concerns requiring more frequent support or a higher level of care
- Difficulty remaining emotionally regulated within longer-format trauma processing sessions without additional stabilization resources in place
Intensives may also not be the best fit for individuals looking for a quick fix or expecting trauma therapy to immediately eliminate all symptoms or distress.
The consultation and assessment process helps determine readiness, pacing, and whether an intensive format is likely to be supportive, safe, and clinically appropriate.
Depending on the structure and pacing of the intensive, sessions may include:
EMDR processing
grounding and resourcing
mindfulness and meditation
yoga-informed movement or breathwork
parts-informed exploration
nervous system regulation practices
integration and restorative closure
All intensives begin with an assessment and consultation process to determine fit, readiness, and appropriate pacing.
Mindfulness & Yoga
Yoga and mindfulness are powerful tools for enhancing mental and physical wellness. These practices can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while improving cardiovascular health, flexibility, and balance. Through mindfulness techniques and controlled breathing, individuals can cultivate greater self-awareness, compassion, and resilience. These practices can be tailored to suit different lifestyles and abilities, making them accessible to all people. Incorporating yoga and meditation into a therapy plan can complement other forms of treatment and support overall well-being.
Group Therapy and Yoga: Group yoga therapy offers a supportive and communal space for individuals to explore holistic well-being. Through shared experiences and guided practices, participants can harness the collective energy of the group, fostering personal growth, stress reduction, and enhanced self-awareness. The group dynamic provides a sense of community, making the journey to well-being both enriching and collaborative.

No, you don't have to do yoga in session if you don't want to. While yoga can be a helpful tool for managing stress and improving overall well-being, it's not a requirement for therapy. If you're interested in incorporating yoga into your treatment, we can discuss ways to integrate it into your therapy plan in a way that feels comfortable and manageable for you.
