I work with elite, college and professional athletes. I also work with people in leadership roles, coaches, teams and supportive family members. Treatment is open for those ages 12 and up, and we plan together the best format (intensive or more standard sessions) for your needs. Still wanting to know more about this cutting-edge treatment, but you don’t meet the above mentioned list, please reach out.
Every client is different. I believe in using a variety of approaches and base them off the individual and their specific needs. I discuss these approaches in depth with a client to make sure that the approach we chose best fits the needs of the client. Often I use EMDR, including EMDR 2.0, Natural Processing (Somatic focused work), Relational/ Attachment Therapy, Ego state and Parts work, Strength Based, HeartMath, Heart Rate Variability and Coherence training, Interpersonal Neurobiology (INPB), and Guided Imagery.
The longer intensive therapy sessions are not covered by insurance yet and must be paid for out of pocket. You are able to use HSA or FSA accounts for payment.
However, I am an “Out of Network” provider in the insurance world. At times I can identify a diagnosis and procedure code that I can use to provide a Superbill, which you may submit to insurance. You may have “out of network” benefits with your insurance company and you would need to call them and ask what is covered with your current plan. I am happy to further discuss this and talk about fees and cost to provide you with a “Good Faith Estimate”.
There is no easy answer to this question because there are many variables to determine optimal treatment options. We will decide this together during your initial consultation appointment, where you will share more about your treatment goals, what you are wanting to focus on during the intensive and your background. It is important to know this is a collaborative process that honors your treatment needs, schedule and budget.
Yes reach out to find more about EMDR and HeartMath as treatment options or to learn about speaking engagements addressing these concepts.
By learning tools and using technology to track heart rate variability with the goal of building more heart coherence many health benefits occur. In a coherent state there is more emotional stability, improved mental clarity and overall the body and brain work better, feel better, perform better.
An intensive is an investment in yourself, your health, your overall wellbeing. EMDR has long been recognized as a safe and effective evidence-based treatment. An EMDR intensive is multiple EMDR sessions integrated into more condensed time, which can be more cost effective when considering the time investment and cost of weekly therapy.
Most clients find the intensive format life changing and note a difference in energy levels, interpersonal interactions, improved focus and performance, healthier self-esteem and improved compassion for self and others. I have truly seen the difference that intensive time can make with healing and would say- why not chose this option if you can.
EMDR Intensives are offered on-line for anyone international or in the state of Colorado, and in-person in my office in Centennial, CO for anyone. There are many accommodation options in the area, and I can provide a list of options. I encourage making the experience like a retreat, finding time for self-care, exercise, body work and creative time. For anyone traveling to the Denver area for an intensive I am happy to share ideas of some local self-care activities.
That will often be a helpful support, and I am happy to collaborate with your current providers after I have proper documentation that allows for communication. EMDR treatment and intensives can be a great adjunct to the therapy you are already receiving, and it is standard practice in the field to refer out to providers for specialized treatment.
Fill out the contact form on my website and we will schedule a time for a free 15-30 minute phone consultation. You can be located anywhere in the world for this call. This call will help access your goals for treatment, current strengths and support and to discern if an intensive is right for you. Next, we will work together to create a treatment plan that works with your needs and determine the length of time needed for the intensive. The EMDR Intensive sessions will take place at my office in Centennial, CO or virtually (if you are in the state of Colorado or international) and are scheduled for 1-4 days for 3-5 hours. There are 60 minute pre and post intensive interviews included in the intensive packages. The pre intensive interview will help with treatment planning, goal setting and preparing for the intensive experience and the post intensive interview will reflect on the work, notice changes and address any on-going needs or support. If you are from out of state, you may travel and create a retreat/get-away in Colorado to promote the healing experience.
If an intensive package is set, you will be provided the cost, a good-faith estimate for services, and dates will be offered to book an intensive. To schedule you will be sent a link to a client portal for a paperless intake and a deposit of 50% of the total fee is required. The remainder of the balance for the full session is due 48 hours before the start of the intensive session.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a standard EMDR therapy session please provide 48 hours’ notice to avoid the cancellation fee of full session fee. Half day and full day EMDR Intensive sessions require 2 weeks’ notice (10 business days) for cancellations or rescheduling to avoid losing the deposit, minus a $150 administrative fee.
