What is a Therapy Intensive?

Intensives are designed to provide longer and more frequent therapy sessions over a shorter period, thereby accelerating your recovery. It can be in a one-on-one setting or a group setting (think couples or family, typically a pair of people + therapist).

Who is an EMDR Intensive For?

Intensives are offered in two formats:

1)EMDR Intensives for individuals with chronic stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation

2) Couple or Family Intensives to build connection and communication tools you can begin to implement immediately

Individual EMDR Intensives:

You’re doing your best to hold everything together—for your family, your work, your faith. But lately, the mental load feels unbearable. You’ve prayed, journaled, talked to friends, maybe even tried weekly therapy before. Still, you’re exhausted, anxious, and stretched so thin it feels like something has to give.

As your therapist, I want you to know: you're not alone—and you're not broken. You're just tired of trying to process everything in one 45-60-minute session a week. That’s where EMDR therapy intensives comes in.

An intensive might be exactly what you need if:

✨ You're already in weekly therapy but feel stuck or overwhelmed, and you know you need extra support to move forward right now.

✨ You're new to therapy, but you prefer to dive in deep and make meaningful progress quickly—no slow starts.

✨ You’ve been meaning to start therapy, but your schedule is already maxed out. The thought of adding another weekly commitment feels overwhelming.

✨You’re running on fumes and need tools, peace, and healing—now, not later.

Family & Couple Intensives:

Life hasn’t felt light or connected between you two for a while. The conversations are surface-level—or tense. You love each other, but it’s hard to feel close when you’re always passing like ships in the night, managing kids, work, and the never-ending to-do list.

Maybe you’ve tried weekly couples therapy before. Or maybe this is the first time you’ve admitted things feel stuck. Either way, you're not sure you can—or want to—wait months to feel close again.

Intensives provide experience safety, connection, and clarity together again. You’ll get helpful tools to create a common language for you to use in times of stress, conflict, or when needs are unmet; so you can find the heart of your relationship again.

Intensive FAQS

    Watch this VIDEO about EMDR

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps you heal from painful or overwhelming experiences that still affect your emotions, thoughts, or body. At Prosper Counseling, we use EMDR to gently reprocess stuck memories—helping your brain release the fear, anxiety, or shame tied to them so you can feel calm and present again. We integrate your faith into the process, believing that God designed your mind to heal and that true peace is possible.

  • Because intensives require booking multiple hours at once, they are typically a private-pay service.

Intensive Testimonials

  • “It was important to work with a Christian counselor who understood the dynamics of being in ministry. Larissa provided a safe professional space where I can work through personal topics related to my faith, burn out, and being in the public eye. I have greater self compassion for myself and different ways to find rest in a balancing work and family culture.”

    -Female

  • “As a mom, I was struggling postpartum with big feelings, overwhelm, and finding myself again as I adjusted to my role as a mother. I was able to work on many issues that felt too big to focus on: my self worth, marriage, and confidence in parenting. Becoming a mother brought up a lot of triggers from my own childhood. Larissa helped me work through each of them with EMDR, so I could be the kind of mother I envisioned I could be instead of wishing I was. I am always a work in progress, but I am amazed at how far I have come. Making myself a priority was something I wish I had done sooner!”
