Led by EMDRIA Approved Consultant Ebony Crane
Serving Grand Rapids and surrounding areas, including Ada, Cascade, East Grand Rapids, Grandville, Rockford, Holland, and Kentwood.
What is EMDR Intensive Therapy?
Instead of just talking about what happened, EMDR helps your brain actually clear it.
An EMDR Intensive takes this work further by delivering it in a focused, multi-day format.
This allows you to:
- Process deeper without constant interruption
- Target root causes, not just symptoms
- Experience meaningful shifts in a shorter amount of time
This is structured, guided work designed to help you finally move through what’s been keeping you stuck.
EMDR Intensive Therapy – Who is it for?
This program is designed for individuals in Grand Rapids and surrounding areas who are ready for more than just coping.
This may be a good fit if:
- You’re high performers but internally feel off, stuck, or overwhelmed
- You’ve tried therapy before but haven’t experienced the shift you’re looking for
- You find yourself overthinking, pushing through, or managing emotions instead of resolving them
- You’re carrying unresolved experiences from childhood, relationships, or loss
- You want focused, efficient healing without stretching it out over months or years
What You Can Expect?
Clients often experience:
- Reduced anxiety and emotional triggers
- Greater emotional clarity and control
- Improved relationships and communication
- A sense of calm, confidence, and internal stability
This isn’t about coping better. It’s about resolving what’s been holding you back.
Many of our clients are professionals, entrepreneurs, and high achievers who are used to holding everything together, until it starts to feel like too much.
You don’t have to keep managing this on your own.
EMDR Intensive: Real Client Experiences
“You’re not just another client to her…you’re a person, and she’s in your corner.”
Ebony is one of the most grounded, compassionate, and skilled therapists I have ever worked with. She creates a space where vulnerability feels safe. She knows the EMDR process deeply and intuitively. You are not just another client to her, you are a person, and she is in your corner.
We set clear goals and identified the beliefs and fears underneath what I was experiencing. I felt prepared. During the intensive, Ebony unraveled years of fear with me. Her presence was steady, calm, and grounding. I never felt alone or overwhelmed. After the intensive, the integration support changed everything. I was not left to figure things out on my own.
Do not wait. If fear is stealing your life, there is a way back. You deserve this kind of freedom.
“I am forever grateful.”
Now that I am no longer stressed, I have plenty of time on my hands. Anxiety, worry, fear, procrastination, perfectionism, frustration, and doubt were keeping me occupied day and night. I was either thinking or doing. There was no time for anything else.
The other day, I had the idea to plan something fun, and I had to stop and laugh at myself because I was surprised. For years, I have only strategized and worried about what is next, and now I am planning fun activities.
I went to therapy for trauma, but the EMDR process has made me feel relaxed and content. I am forever grateful.
“…proof of how powerful this treatment has been”
I have done a few EMDR intensives over the past year. My biggest takeaway today is realizing I do not remember the anguish I felt when I first set up the sessions.
I know I was desperate for help, but no matter how hard I try, I cannot access the feeling that went with that desperation because it is gone.
That, to me, is the clearest proof of how powerful this treatment has been.
How Our EMDR Intensive Therapy Works
Your experience is structured, personalized, and guided every step of the way.
1. Pre-Intensive Interview
Your path to transformation begins with a dedicated, 90-minute deep dive into your personal history. This heart-centered consultation is designed for us to truly understand the nuances of your story—from the weight of unprocessed trauma and anxiety to the specific triggers and coping strategies you navigate daily. By exploring your existing support systems and identifying rigid belief patterns, we will co-create a clear roadmap and set meaningful intentions for your EMDR Intensive experience.
2. Personalized Preparation
We believe that preparation is the bridge to profound breakthroughs. To facilitate an accelerated healing process, you will receive a custom-tailored workbook designed specifically for your journey. This interactive resource serves as your companion both during and after the program, providing a structured way to prime your mind for treatment, document your shifts in real-time, and ensure your progress remains sustainable long after the intensive concludes.
3. Intensive Session
Experience a concentrated, immersive healing environment through our 2-to-5-day intensives. Each day features 4.5 hours of focused clinical work, allowing for a depth of processing that traditional weekly therapy cannot match. We offer flexible delivery to meet you where you are most comfortable, whether that is in person at our Grand Rapids, Michigan-based office, through concierge services at your own home in Michigan, Illinois, or Texas, Retreat Home in Muskegon, MI, or virtually via a secure online platform. This fast-tracked approach is meticulously engineered to dismantle trauma and stuckness, replacing them with a sense of lasting peace and emotional vitality.
4. Post-Intensive Integration
Sustaining your growth is just as important as the breakthrough itself. Following your intensive, you will meet for a final 60-minute integration session with a certified EMDR therapist. Together, we will evaluate your progress, process new insights, and solidify the positive transformations you’ve achieved. This concluding conversation ensures you are equipped with the resilience and clarity needed to step confidently into your next chapter of healing.
