You’re not here because you don’t understand your story. You’ve reflected. You’ve connected the dots. You know where the patterns come from.
Extended EMDR Sessions Can Change How You Live, Not Just How You Cope
This work meets you beneath the thinking mind
In traditional therapy, there’s often not enough time for your system to fully settle, open, process, and integrate. Just as something meaningful begins to shift, the session ends—and your body carries the unfinished work back into daily life.
Extended EMDR sessions change that.
They allow your nervous system to:
slow down
feel supported rather than rushed
move through memories, emotions, and body sensations at a pace that creates resolution
This is not about reliving the past.
It’s about helping your body learn—deeply and finally—that the past is not your present.
Over time, clients often notice:
less overthinking and mental looping
fewer emotional spikes that come out of nowhere
more space between a trigger and a response
a quieter inner critic
an increased ability to stay present with their children, partners, friends and themselves
Not because life becomes "perfect", but because your system isn’t constantly bracing for impact.
You stop living in constant alert.
You start responding instead of surviving.
This is focused, embodied work, not a quick fix
Extended EMDR is emotionally demanding. It asks for honesty, rest, and respect of your limits.
through grounding, breath, and gentle movement that help you stay anchored while doing deep work.
The goal isn’t to erase your story.
It’s to loosen its grip on your nervous system.
So your energy can go toward living
not managing, not holding it all together, not pushing through.
This is an investment in how you experience your life
If you’ve reached a point where you’re ready to stop circling the same patterns—and instead give yourself the time, depth, and care required for real change—extended EMDR may be the next step.
Not because you’re broken.
But because you deserve a life that feels steadier, more spacious, and more like you.

A focused, trauma-informed path toward deeper healing
For when you're ready to move beyoned coping
Extended EMDR sessions are designed for individuals who are ready to move beyond insight alone and engage in deeper, embodied healing. This offering is for those who understand their patterns logically, yet feel that understanding has not been enough to create lasting change.
These sessions are offered as psychotherapy services under my license as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts and are grounded in evidence-based EMDR treatment, nervous system regulation, and somatic support.
This is not a quick fix.
It is intentional, focused, and meaningful work.
Extended EMDR sessions offer an opportunity to engage in deeper emotional processing over a condensed period of time.
This work is especially supportive for anxiety, over-thinking, perfectionism, and long-standing worthiness wounds.
Experience chronic anxiety or overthinking
Carry long-standing worthiness wounds
Struggle with perfectionism or people-pleasing
Have participated in talk therapy and feel “stuck”
Are ready to make a significant investment in your healing
You feel ready to move beyond coping and into resolution
You’re tired of carrying generational patterns that no longer serve you
You want focused, intentional healing without long-term weekly therapy
Please note, clients must be physically located in Massachusetts at the time of services and prepared to engage in extended emotional processing.
Extended EMDR sessions offer a different rhythm of healing than traditional weekly therapy. Rather than starting and stopping each week, this format allows for deeper, more continuous processing within a contained period of time.
This approach can be especially supportive for individuals who feel ready to move beyond insight and into more focused, embodied change.
The following are some of the benefits of engaging in extended EMDR sessions:
In weekly sessions, time is often spent reorienting, checking in, and closing before deeper processing can fully unfold. Extended sessions allow your nervous system the time it needs to settle, access, process, and integrate—without interruption.
Traditional therapy can sometimes feel like beginning meaningful work, only to pause and revisit it the following week. Intensives minimize this stop-and-start pattern, allowing for greater continuity and momentum in the healing process.
Rather than spreading the work across many months, extended sessions offer a structured and intentional container for focused healing. This can be supportive for those who are ready to prioritize their healing in a more immersive way.
With more time available, there is greater opportunity to incorporate grounding, somatic awareness, and integration practices. This supports your nervous system in staying regulated while engaging in deeper work, making processing more effective and sustainable.
Extended sessions allow for intentional integration within the session itself — not just between sessions. This may include rest, reflection, or somatic practices that help your system absorb and make meaning of the work.
Because this format allows for depth and continuity, it can support movement through patterns that have felt stuck or resistant to change in weekly therapy.
Extended EMDR sessions are not about rushing the process — they are about creating the conditions for your nervous system to do what it has not had the time or space to do before.
This work is intentional, immersive, and requires care before, during, and after the process.
Pre-consultation interview to assess for candidacy, as well as target limiting beliefs, body sensations, emotions, or images from which you are seeking relief.
Personalized treatment workbook, which allows you to work on your treatment goals before, during, and after our extended EMDR sessions.
A customized treatment program with targeted treatment goals. Therapy with Lisa is done virtually, often for 3-9 sessions (1.5 to 2 hours each session).
Post-treatment interview to assess and support your adaptation to enhancing changes from treatment.
