Intensive Therapy

When insight isn’t enough, and your body still won’t let go - Come find the healing that past therapy couldn’t reach.

Testimonials

  • “I came into the intensive with years of therapy behind me and all the insight, but I still felt disconnected, reactive, and stuck in patterns I couldn’t shift. Working with Morgan was the first time I felt safe enough to go deeper — to see that what I thought were flaws were actually protective parts doing their job. The work was grounding, experiential, and finally felt real. I left with more compassion for myself, a clearer path forward, and the sense that healing isn’t just possible — it’s happening.”

  • “Thank you [Morgan] for your lovely co-regulating ability. You immediately put me at ease. I felt safe - that’s unusual for me!”

  • “After years of therapy and trying EMDR on and off, I knew I needed something different — my body kept shutting down anytime I got close to the pain. In just a few days with Morgan, I was able to process what had been stuck for years. My intensive offered a rare mix of structure, flexibility, and deep compassion that helped me feel truly safe. For the first time, I wasn’t just talking about my grief — I was moving through it. I left with clarity, presence, and a sense of hope I hadn’t felt in a long time.”

  • “My intensive gave me a deep sense of acceptance and a new relationship with myself and way of being with my parts.”

You’re here because you want healing and you want someone who can guide you through what talk therapy or past EMDR or IFS couldn’t reach.

You are in the right place, if you relate to any of these statements:

  • I am introspective but stuck – I have done talk therapy, read the books, even talked to ChatGPT, and maybe tried EMDR or IFS in the past, but my body still holds the trauma.

  • I am intelligent, driven, and overfunctioning – and exhausted by that, but not sure how to do things differently.

  • I am motivated but afraid – I crave healing but fear wasting time or not being able to “get there.”

  • I am grieving something unseen – childhood needs or abuse, parental or spousal loss, betrayal, pregnancy/infant loss, relational neglect, spiritual abuse.

  • I am yearning for authenticity and to feel present in my life– I want to show up fully without micromanaging my feelings, fearing connection, or being pulled back into the past.

  • I am desiring safe structure – I want to work with a therapist who can guide me in a process and who will be flexible and attuned to my unique needs and experiences.

Intensive IFS-Informed EMDR

Morgan Levine offers customizable healing intensives for individuals and couples, which are 3-5 consecutive days of in-person treatment at our offices in King of Prussia, a Philadelphia suburb, or through an immersive experience at a stunning farm in Chester County, PA. Morgan also offers multiple intensives for longer-term healing and 1-day booster intensive sessions for clients who have completed a multi-day in-person intensive previously; these booster sessions are available in-person and virtually to those located in Washington D.C., Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.

Intensives integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, and polyvagal theory.

Instead of addressing issues every week over years, you can often resolve symptoms and accelerate your healing process, finding the relief needed to move forward in life in a matter of days.

How It Works

Step 1: Free 30-Minute Consultation

Your intensive begins with a free consultation. This is an opportunity for you to share more about yourself, your goals, and what you hope to work on during an intensive with Morgan. You’ll also have time to ask any questions. If it feels like a good fit, Morgan will create a personalized intensive package with available dates for you to review. If it’s not the right fit, she’ll provide referrals and resources so you leave supported either way.

Step 2: Review & Confirm Your Intensive Package

Most intensives include 3–5 consecutive days of focused therapy, with 4–5 hour sessions each day. Intensive Packages also come with:

  • A 90-minute preparation meeting

  • A personalized workbook

  • Collaboration with your current therapist (with consent)

  • A post-intensive follow-up session

  • Future treatment planning

Because intensives are scheduled months in advance, there is a process to confirm your intensive. Once you inform Morgan of the dates you wish to hold for your intensive, you’ll receive consent forms, payment information, and next steps. After your deposit is received, your intensive is officially booked and Intensive Preparation begins.

Step 3: Intensive Preparation

Before your intensive, you’ll meet with Morgan for a 90-minute preparation session to set goals, ask questions, and learn what to expect. If you’ve given consent, Morgan will also coordinate with your existing therapist to ensure seamless care. You’ll then receive a customized workbook designed to deepen your insight into your history, nervous system, and healing goals.

Step 4: Your Intensive & Beyond

Your intensive takes place over 3–5 days, with extended daily sessions designed for deep, lasting change. Using IFS-informed EMDR, Morgan will guide you through resourcing, parts work, and targeted processing to help release old wounds and shift limiting beliefs. Many clients report leaving with greater clarity, compassion for themselves, and a renewed sense of healing momentum.

Because this work is truly intensive, it can feel powerful and challenging. Morgan will tailor your care to ensure it’s safe and effective for your system. After your intensive, you’ll meet again for a 60-minute follow-up to integrate what emerged and update your treatment plan.

All clients are required to have a primary therapist for ongoing support after their intensive program. If you don’t have one, Morgan can help connect you with the right provider.

Intensive EMDR FAQS

  • You’re likely a great fit if you’ve already done some therapy, maybe even EMDR or IFS, but still feel stuck or disconnected. Many of Morgan’s clients are high-functioning, likely over functioning, insightful, and self-aware — but deep down, they’re still carrying unprocessed pain, grief, or trauma. They’re looking for a more embodied, accelerated way to move forward. If you want healing that goes beyond coping skills and into the roots, you’re in the right place.

  • Weekly therapy offers slow, steady support — but it can be hard to go deep when you have to stop every 50 minutes or even a longer session once per week. Intensives allow you to stay with the work for multiple sessions over multiple days so that you can bypass surface-level reactivity, and access parts of yourself that need time and safety to emerge. Morgan’s 3-4 day intensives offer a co-regulated, structured space to move from insight to real healing — cognitively, emotionally, and somatically.

  • Morgan’s approach integrates EMDR with IFS, Polyvagal Theory, and attachment work. She also structures her intensives to be multiple sessions over multiple days. This means more time is spent preparing your system, engaging with your protective parts, and finding your own internal rhythm for healing. Many of Morgan’s clients have tried EMDR in the past but found it too rigid or activating. Her IFS-informed EMDR style creates the safety, pacing, and personalization needed for real transformation.

  • Yes! In fact, many clients come to Morgan for adjunctive intensive work while continuing with their regular therapist. With your consent, Morgan will collaborate with your provider before and after the intensive to ensure continuity of care and deeper integration.

  • Healing is a process, and no single experience can “fix” everything — but many clients leave an intensive with clarity, relief, and a profound sense of internal shift. Some return for additional intensives or booster sessions, while others find that one experience gave them the momentum they needed to move forward. Morgan will help you assess what makes sense for you based on your history, goals, and what emerges during the work.

  • That’s completely normal — and Morgan’s approach is specifically designed to meet that. Her sessions include ample time for resourcing, breaks, parts work, and collaboration. You will never be pushed into something your system isn’t ready for. You’ll learn to track your nervous system, honor your pace, and build trust with the parts of you that might be scared to feel or remember.

  • Intensives can support healing around complex trauma, grief, childhood wounds, attachment injuries, relationship distress, dissociation, and identity struggles. Morgan specializes in helping clients who are seeking depth, not just symptom reduction that is surface level but the is felt in the body — clients who want to feel more authentic, embodied, and connected in their lives and relationships.

  • Many of Morgan’s clients are therapists, coaches, or caretakers who need a space where they can be held. If you’re used to holding space for others, an intensive offers a rare opportunity to turn inward and receive. You deserve that depth of care too.

THE RESEARCH SHOWS

  • Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely. Learn more here and here.

  • Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame. Learn more here.

  • An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially SAFE AND EFFECTIVE treatment alternative for COMPLEX PTSD. Learn more here.

  • SAVES YOU MONEY AND TIME: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session.
