EMDR Extended

EMDR Extended 2-Hour Appointments provide an expanded therapeutic timeframe to support deeper, uninterrupted EMDR processing. This format is ideal for clients who require additional time in session to fully address emotional material, navigate complex memory networks, or maintain therapeutic momentum without the limits of a traditional 50-minute appointment.

What Is an EMDR Extended 2-Hour Appointment?

An EMDR Extended 2-Hour Appointment offers a dedicated two-hour block of therapy that includes preparation, bilateral stimulation processing, and regulated closure. Extended sessions allow for richer therapeutic engagement, greater continuity of processing, and a more complete transition into integration and grounding before the session concludes.

Who Is This For?

This appointment format may be appropriate for individuals who:

Find that standard session durations feel too constrained for their processing needs.
Are working on complex or layered traumatic memories requiring more time for preparation and closure.
Want uninterrupted time to navigate processing blocks, reduce fragmentation, and achieve meaningful therapeutic progress.
Have experienced EMDR therapy prior and have a clear understanding of how it works

Benefits of the Extended Format

Expanded Processing Time
The two-hour duration provides sufficient space to move through the full EMDR protocol, including check-in, target identification, bilateral stimulation work, and regulated closure — all in one cohesive appointment.

Continuity of Therapeutic Work
Extended appointments reduce the fragmentation that can occur with shorter sessions, enabling deeper focus on the material most relevant to your goals.

Safety and Stability
The appointment structure builds in time for stabilization and grounding, ensuring you conclude the session in a regulated state with tools and strategies to support post-session integration.

What to Expect

Pre-Session Check-In — We begin with a brief review of how you’ve been since your last appointment, what you’d like to address, and any contextual factors that will inform the session.
EMDR Processing — With bilateral stimulation and clinical guidance, we work through the targeted material at a pace that respects your nervous system and therapeutic goals.
Closure and Integration — The final portion of the appointment is dedicated to grounding, integration, and planning next steps, ensuring you leave the session feeling oriented and supported.

Each session is conducted by an EMDR-trained clinician who tailors the pacing and focus to your unique needs.
Appointments are available both in person and online via secure video platform.
