Therapy Intensives (EMDR Intensives)

FAQs: Therapy Intensives with Carolyn Yoder at Transformational Processes

Q1: What is a Therapy Intensive?

A Therapy Intensive is a focused and concentrated therapeutic experience designed to accelerate personal growth and transformation. It begins with an initial 1.5-hour intake session (if you are not already in counseling with me regularly). We then set up three 2-hour sessions within a single week. This format allows for a deep dive into an area you want to focus on. You are required to have a therapist who knows you well to do an Intensive if you are not in therapy with me. This is for the purposes of safety and integration of the work done.

Q2: What therapeutic modalities are used in Therapy Intensives?

In most intensives, the primary modality is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). So they are sometimes referred to as EMDR Intensives. But we also use other therapeutic approaches, including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Felt Sense---with a minimum of talk therapy. This eclectic approach is tailored to your unique needs and preferences.

Q3: How is a Therapy Intensive different from traditional therapy sessions?

Therapy Intensives differ from traditional therapy in terms of frequency and intensity. Instead of weekly sessions, you engage in a more concentrated therapeutic experience, addressing a specific issue or goals with greater depth and focus. It's a dynamic and efficient approach that often yields faster results and gets you over an obstacle or stuck point.

Q4: Who can benefit from a Therapy Intensive?

Therapy Intensives are suitable for clients working with me who want to accelerate their progress and for individuals working with other therapists who seek a targeted boost or wish to address specific challenges more deeply than talk therapy allows.

Q5: Is insurance coverage available for Therapy Intensives?

Currently, insurance does not cover Therapy Intensives. In addition, I practice as an out-of-network provider. However, sometimes the initial assessment session is covered, depending on your policy and if you have met your mental health deductibles.

Q6: Are Therapy Intensives conducted virtually and/or in-person?

In-person is the ideal way to conduct Therapy Intensives. In extenuating circumstances, an Intensive could be done online to clients who cannot travel. I am licensed to work only in the state of Virginia.

Q7: How much does a Therapy Intensive cost?

The cost of a Therapy Intensive is $950 (with an intake session) or $780 (if you are already my client and no intake session is needed).
