EMDR Intensives

My is utilizing the powerful benefits of EMDR & IFS-Informed EMDR with clients who are ready to live without anxiety, depression, dissociation, phobias, addiction, and post-traumatic stress (PTSD). As a client, you will receive your own, client-centered therapeutic process.

My approach is relational, and integrates what I know about neurobiology, parts, and attachment in order to understand symptoms and move toward healing. Research has shown that above all else the quality of the therapeutic relationship heals, so we take the time to get to know you and build safety in the therapeutic space. Being immersed in a retreat setting helps create a sense of safety faster.

Have a therapist already? A healing intensive retreat using EMDR and IFS can be done in collaboration with existing therapy. It can help you get unstuck and provide faster relief to clients when used in conjunction with their regular therapist.

I believe it is important to join with my client in making decisions together that are best for them, and not based on what insurance deems medical necessity. For this reason, I do not accept insurance. I do offer a Good Faith Estimate and Superbill for Out of Network Services provided. I also provide information on verifying your out of network benefits and a free benefits verification tool here.

Please note Morgan provides a customized package for each client. In general, intensives are either weekly, monthly, or 2-4 days for 3-5 hrs per day. My weekday rates $825-$1,625 for intensive therapy and weekend rates are $975-$1,950 per day. Please inquire about retreat options and rates by emailing admin@ifsemdrtherapy.com.

Intensive Therapy has been shown to be a more cost-effective way to complete trauma therapy than weekly appointments for clients. A 5-day intensive has been shown to be equivalent to 1 year of weekly therapy appointments.

We require an 50% non-refundable deposit to hold intensive dates and then the remaining 50% is paid 1-week prior to your intensive.

Payment can be made by debit and credit cards and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) cards through our HIPAA-secure practice management system.

I offer teletherapy or online sessions for people located anywhere in the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, Colorado, and Florida.

Intensives are available to anyone, anywhere as long as they are willing to travel to my office in Paoli, Pennsylvania for treatment.

Finding the right fit is one of the most important predictors of whether therapy will be successful for you.

Yes! Perhaps you’ve a felt sense of stuckness but you feel a connection with your current that you aren't ready to move away from or maybe you are not quite sure how to shift all the way into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist. It's also possible you've been doing talk therapy so you now cognitively understand new things, but your body is still confused, so you’re curious about how adjunct EMDR intensive therapy can help. Schedule a consultation today to see if an Intensive can help.

Yes, I am currently only accepting new clients for retreat style intensives in January, March, and April 2025. A 45-minute consultation is the first step. The cost of the consultation is $260. If we are not a fit, I will provide you with a few excellent referrals.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based psychotherapy technique developed by Francine Shapiro to help individuals cope with and overcome the emotional distress and symptoms associated with traumatic experiences. EMDR is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD (CPTSD), other trauma-related conditions. EMDR addresses the psychological and physical symptoms stemming from adverse life experiences. However, EMDR is not just for trauma; it is also utilized for performance enhancement.

Overall EMDR is used to help people who are dealing with present day symptoms that might be related to experiences in the past. Learn more about the EMDR Phases here.

IFS-Informed EMDR is an integrative approach that combines Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, to help clients heal from the symptoms and emotional distress from trauma and past stressful events. These modalities provide a compassionate, non-judgmental way to understand blocks, defenses, and stuck things in your life. Learn more here.

After an EMDR Intensive, the healing continues. I am happy to offer referrals for therapists who offer weekly or biweekly support. In some cases, I may be able to offer a monthly adjunctive EMDR in-person in my office or virtually if you are located in state where I am licensed. This is dependent on whether it is an appropriate level of care for you and if I have the space in my caseload. If I am not available or it is not a fit, I can help you with referrals. I also welcome those who have done an intensive with me to return any time in the future for another intensive.
