EMDR Intensives & EMDR Therapy for Jupiter and Tequesta Women

Driving 30–35 minutes each way for a single weekly hour can feel like a lot. An EMDR Intensive turns that math around. After a 90-minute pre-intensive assessment, we meet for one to three days of 3-hour sessions, then follow up 1–2 weeks later. You make a few trips instead of dozens, and each visit gives you concentrated time to go deeper without the stop-and-start of weekly therapy or the rush to compose yourself before an hour runs out.

Intensives tend to suit high-achieving women who are ready to focus on one specific issue, feel stuck after earlier therapy, or simply need their healing to fit around a demanding life. They’re not a fit for someone in active crisis; if that’s you, please call or text 988 or call 911. You can read what EMDR Intensives involve and decide whether the format feels right. If you aren’t sure, the assessment is designed to help us answer that question together.

Many women who look for an intensive are not falling apart. They’re performing well and quietly exhausted. The inner critic never takes a day off, rest feels like something you have to earn, and every mistake replays for hours. That pattern often has history behind it. EMDR can help reprocess the experiences that taught you you’re only as good as your last result. My perfectionism therapy page explores this more.

Burnout often comes along with it: the Sunday-night dread, the short fuse at home, the sense that you’ve been running on fumes for months. With roughly 23 years in business before becoming a counselor, I understand high-pressure professional life firsthand. Healing isn’t about becoming someone different. It’s about feeling free to be more fully yourself. If burnout is your main concern, see burnout therapy for women for how we approach recovery.

Everything starts with a free phone consultation. We’ll talk through what you want to work on, whether an intensive or weekly EMDR fits better, and how scheduling could work around your commute. Call (561) 818-6964 or email april@aprilforella.com; I see clients Monday through Friday by appointment, and every message gets a reply within 24–48 business hours. If an intensive is a good fit, the 90-minute pre-intensive assessment is where we build your plan.

For women who prefer weekly therapy despite the distance, sessions are $200 for 60 minutes, or $400 for a 2-hour session. A longer session can make the drive easier to justify. Self-pay clients receive a Good Faith Estimate, and if your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be able to request partial reimbursement for weekly or extended sessions. Intensives are private pay. The EMDR Intensive cost page explains what each package includes.
