Benefits of EMDR Therapy

Faster Impact

EMDR Intensive therapy offers quicker and more immediate relief compared to traditional therapy, which could take weeks, months, or even years to yield results. Watch “Why Therapy Feels Slow”   for more information.

Your healing journey starts immediately, and you’ll begin to experience positive shifts from the very first session.

Deeper Resolution and Healing

Each 4.5 hour EMDR Intensive session allows ample time to fully immerse in the healing process. With a comfortable, focused environment, you can tap into the deepest layers of your emotions, openly expressing underlying traumas and leveraging proven techniques to unlock long-lasting healing.

Foster Healthy Relationships

Internal struggles often disrupt our relationships, whether romantic or platonic. If past trauma has caused toxic habits or made it difficult to trust, an EMDR Intensive can provide the tools to foster healthier, more open connections.

How Our EMDR Intensive Therapy Works

At EMDR Empowerment Center LLC, our EMDR Intensive Therapy is rooted in human insight and a deep understanding of individuality. We know that no two people with similar struggles are alike, which is why every treatment is personalized to your unique journey. Whether in Michigan, Chicago, Illinois or Houston, Texas, our tailored approach is designed to help you alleviate emotional pain, somatic symptoms, and negative self-beliefs caused by stuck experiences.

1. Pre-Intensive Interview

Your healing journey begins with an in-depth, heart-centered 90 minute conversation. In this initial session, we’ll get to know your story—your struggles, coping mechanisms, emotional triggers, and support systems. Whether it’s unprocessed trauma, rigid beliefs, or lingering feelings of anxiety, this is your opportunity to share everything. Together, we’ll establish the goals you wish to achieve with EMDR Intensive Therapy.

2. Personalized Intensive Workbook

Our EMDR Intensives are not just any therapy; they are an accelerated path to healing. To support your journey, we provide a personalized workbook, which helps you prepare for treatment and track your progress every step of the way. This tool keeps you engaged and ensures that you remain on track during and after the program.

3. Custom-Designed Therapy Intensive

Our intensives span 2 to 5 days, with each session lasting 4.5 hours, providing a deeply immersive healing experience. Whether we meet in person at our Michigan office, virtually, or even at your home in Michigan or Texas, the treatment is tailored to fit your needs. You’ll dive into a focused, fast-tracked journey designed to reduce trauma, pain, and enhance feelings of calmness and fulfillment.

4. Post-Intensive Interview

Your journey doesn’t end after the session(s). In a final 60-minute conversation with a certified EMDR therapist, we’ll reflect on your progress, the insights you’ve gained, and the personal transformation you’ve experienced. This interview marks the transition into the next chapter of your healing journey, setting you up for sustained growth and resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy taps into your mind’s natural ability to heal, reaching the root of your emotional wounds. This innovative method stimulates profound psychological healing, offering relief that feels out of reach in traditional therapy settings. Learn more about EMDR therapy here.

Are EMDR Intensive Therapy sessions covered by health insurance?

Unfortunately, EMDR Intensives are not covered by insurance. However, we accept Care Credit – with onsite approval, HSA/FSA, all major credit cards, Zelle, and Cash. A 50% nonrefundable deposit is required to book your intensive package, with the remaining 50% due 24 hours before Day 1.

Payment plans are available!

  • 3 days (4.5 hours each day) starts at $3,382

How long will it take for the EMDR Intensive to show results?

EMDR Intensive is a highly individualized therapy, so results vary depending on factors such as the nature of your trauma, your personality, and your therapy goals. Many people begin to notice results after the first day, with the brain continuing to process for up to 72 hours after a session. While pronounced progress may take time, the effects of EMDR therapy are lasting and irreversible.

How is EMDR Intensive Therapy different from traditional therapy?

Unlike traditional weekly sessions, EMDR Intensive Therapy is an accelerated healing program. With 4.5-6 hour sessions, participants dive deep into their psychological healing without frequent interruptions. This immersive process limits the impact of daily stressors, enabling faster, more focused breakthroughs compared to traditional 1-hour weekly sessions. Think of it like surgery: You wouldn’t want your surgeon to pause midway through and say, “We’ll pick this up next week!” Our intensives give you the time needed for deep and uninterrupted healing.

What if I Live out of State?

We can administer virtually or in person as long as you are in Michigan, Illinois, or Texas at the time of the Intensive. We also have an option to stay in our Privately owned and managed Retreat Home in Muskegon, MI. This will allow for you to completely renew, gain clarity, and focus on your healing as you are surrounded by calmness and serenity. We can administer the EMDR Intensive in the Retreat Home or you can travel 45 minutes to our office location in Grand Rapids, MI. Are you ready to HEAL?

How much is the Private Retreat Home in Muskegon, MI?

This ranges from 350.00-400.00 per night depending on weekday or weekend preference and includes access to a private upstairs condo style unit with refreshments, complete serenity, and your Certified EMDR Clinician and EMDRIA approved consultant administering the intensive on site.

Who is Ebony Crane, and why do clients choose to work with her?

I am Ebony Crane, LMSW, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and founder of Resilience Therapy and EMDR Empowerment Center. I provide EMDR therapy and trauma focused EMDR intensives for high achievers and the ones everyone turns to. The leaders. The caretakers. The people who hold a lot and rarely have space to set it down.

I work with clients in Michigan, Illinois, and Texas, both in person and virtual for EMDR intensives. Many of the people I work with are successful on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed, shut down, or disconnected on the inside. They are tired of feeling stuck. They want trauma therapy that helps them actually feel different, not just think differently.

My approach is direct, grounded, and emotionally safe. I am not here to simply talk in circles. In EMDR intensive trauma therapy, we get to the root of what your body remembers. We reprocess the experiences that shaped your behavioral patterns and your nervous system so you can feel relief that lasts.

People choose to work with me because they are ready for something that works. They want accelerated healing. They want to feel like themselves again. They want a therapist who understands the pressure of being the one everyone relies on and who can guide real change with clarity and compassion.

If you are ready to stop just coping and start healing, I am here. Let’s do the real work together.
