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, which are 3-4 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.

Our 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. Read below for our overall intensive process:

FIRST STEP - Schedule your free 30-minute consultation

The first step is to schedule a free 30-minute consultation, during which Morgan will get to know you and understand what you hope to address in an intensive. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. At the end of the consultation, if it seems like a good fit, Morgan will put together a customized intensive package for you, including the next available dates, and send it to you for review and confirmation. If it doesn’t seem like the right fit for now, Morgan will provide referrals and resources to support your healing. She hopes that you leave the 30-minute consultation feeling supported in your healing journey, whether or not you decide to move forward with her.

SECOND STEP - Review your package, Confirm your dates, and Schedule your 90-minute Intensive Preparation Meeting

Typically, an Intensive package consists of 4-5 hour blocks of time conducted over 3-4 consecutive days. Packages also include virtual preparation sessions, collaboration with existing therapists, workbooks, a post-intensive follow-up session, and future treatment planning. Please note, Morgan schedules intensives months in advance and typically cannot accommodate immediate requests. After you receive your customized package and dates, you will confirm the dates you want to schedule, and then Morgan will send you consent forms and payment information. After you pay your deposit/s, your intensive is considered confirmed, and then Morgan will schedule you for your 90-minute Intensive Preparation session.

THIRD STEP - Collaboration and Intensive Preparation

If you have provided consent for Morgan to collaborate with your providers, she will reach out to start connecting before your intensive. You and Morgan will also meet for a 90-minute preparation session to cover any questions you have, discuss the modalities, and continue to set goals for your intensive. Following this preparation session, Morgan will send you a customized workbook to complete before your intensive. The workbook will include important information about what to expect from your IFS-Informed EMDR intensive. It will help you and Morgan learn more about your attachment history, nervous system, and treatment goals.

FOURTH STEP- Your Intensive and Post-Intensive

Due to the power of IFS & EMDR to facilitate neural rewiring and genuine change, EMDR Intensives can achieve outcomes not possible through standard talk-therapy techniques or just 50-90 minute weekly or biweekly sessions. You will meet with Morgan for 3-4 consecutive days for 4-6 hours a day. Morgan will lead you through resource development and installation, parts work, sensory resourcing, and IFS-Informed EMDR processing. You and Morgan will collaborate along the way with options when you feel stuck or overwhelmed. Typically clients report that they desensitize the emotional charge of memories or everyday challenges and shift negative beliefs about themselves, leading toward feeling like they have more clarity, compassion, and are on the path of healing. Longer format sessions conducted over consecutive days allow for more material to be processed and healed more quickly compared to traditional therapy.

But please keep in mind that it is called an "intensive" for a reason. The work can be highly INTENSE, but so is the healing potential! Due to the intensity of the work, we cannot guarantee that unrestricted EMDR processing will occur if you have never been in therapy before or if your system is not ready for it. Morgan will work with you to make appropriate adjustments to your treatment, ensuring you receive the right level of care to help you move forward on your healing path.

The processing will likely continue after your intensive. Therefore, Morgan schedules a 60-minute follow-up meeting approximately 2 weeks after the intensive to re-evaluate and update your treatment plan. She also requires that all intensive clients have an established primary therapist to return to after their intensive, and she will send a summary of care to ensure a smooth transition of care. If you need help connecting with a therapist for support after your intensive, reach out to schedule your free consultation with Morgan; she can help you take the next right steps on your path to an intensive.

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.
