What is EMDR & Brainspotting Intensive Therapy?

Think of EMDR & Brainspotting Intensives as supercharged therapy! This powerful, accelerated pace of healing shortens treatment time significantly. By providing 3-hour dedicated blocks of time per day to you, we spend more time processing your trauma and less time “warming up” and “cooling down.” More of our time together will be spent on your healing. Imagine leaving behind the anxiety, panic, and depression for a calm, confident, relaxed new you!

When?

3-hour time blocks of therapy once per week (Special scheduling arrangements if you are traveling more than 60 miles)

Where?

All therapy sessions will take place in my sunlight office in the Village of Clarkston, MI surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What will I feel like after 3 hours of therapy?

While each individual may experience a variety of feelings, most clients will feel tired. I recommend clearing your schedule for the remainder of the day so that you can rest, practice your resources, meditate, take a walk, or go to sleep.

How soon can I get started with my EMDR & Brainspotting Intensive?

I am currently booking Intensives to begin a week to 2 weeks after we first speak!

Can you speak with my current therapist regarding my Intensive trauma treatment?

Yes I can! With a signed release of information, I can coordinate your care with another therapist, healthcare worker, etc.

How is payment for the intensives handled?

A 50% deposit is due to reserve your Intensives on my schedule. The remaining 50% is collected on the first scheduled treatment day. I accept cash, check, ZellePay, and, for a 5% service fee, credit cards.

What is your cancellation policy for intensives?

Cancellation within 24 hours of booking is refundable.

Cancellation after 24 hours of booking is non-refundable.

Will my health insurance cover the cost of therapy intensives?

Please call your insurance company to inquire. I am happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to insurance or your HSA for reimbursement. Please consider that your superbill will require a diagnosis code, and not all clients are comfortable with me transmitting that information.

~ Hello, I'm Alicia ~

With over 25 years of experience, I am an expert in treating trauma. I help adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, dissociation, and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I use highly effective, evidence-based therapies to clear the root causes of your symptoms. These cutting edge, brain-based therapies are the fastest, most complete way to heal in depth!

Think of it like this: do you get rid of weeds if you only cut what’s above ground? No, you must pull out the root to keep the weed from growing back. It’s the same principle when healing from trauma.

~ The longest distance is from your brain to your heart ~

You’ve probably tried talk therapy at some point but stopped out of frustration or lack of progress. You can understand intellectually that you are not at fault. However, in your heart, you still feel responsible and ashamed. That’s why talk therapy alone doesn’t work.

As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I will work with you to customize treatment to meet your needs. I also use Brainspotting and Emotional Parts Work to speed your healing. For clients with pre-verbal trauma, we will clear stress responses and primary emotional networks. The result for you will be less triggering and greater access to experiencing your emotions tolerably at the right times.
