Journey Deeper. Heal Faster.
At Thrive Advantage Group, Daleeda Makki offers EMDR Intensive Therapy for those ready to accelerate their healing process. Rather than spacing sessions weekly, EMDR Intensives provide the opportunity to immerse in deeper therapeutic work over the course of one to three consecutive days. This format helps clients achieve faster results with fewer interruptions between sessions.
What is EMDR Intensive Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Intensive Therapy is a powerful way to reduce distress, process trauma, and promote resilience—more quickly than traditional weekly therapy. Intensives are ideal for clients wanting focused, deeper work over a shorter time frame. They are personalized, intentional, and highly structured to support healing and transformation.
How It Works
1. Pre-Intensive Interview
We begin with a 60-minute Pre-Intensive session to define your goals, identify target issues, and prepare for the experience. We’ll explore your current supports, stressors, and desired outcomes.

2. Intensive Sessions
Your EMDR Intensive is customized just for you and may include 3-6 sessions that are 3 hours of therapeutic work each day. We combine EMDR processing with resourcing tools such as mindfulness practices, journaling and deep processing all enhanced with bilateral stimulation.
