Compassionate Healing for the Stories Your Body Still Carries
EMDR with Anne Jansen, RN, MA, LPC
Even when life looks “fine” on the outside, it can feel overwhelming, lonely, or disconnected on the inside. I work with teens and adults who are ready for real, lasting changes; especially those carrying the effects of trauma, relationship wounds, or experiences that feel stuck in the past. As an EMDR therapist, I help clients gently process what their nervous systems have been holding onto, so they can feel more grounded, present, and like themselves again. My approach is warm, relational, and deeply trauma-informed, creating a space where you are seen with compassion, supported with skill, and invited into healing that reaches both the mind and the heart.
Intensive Offerings
Extended EMDR sessions offer a calmer, more supported way to do deep healing work. With more time, your nervous system can settle, trust can build, and processing can unfold at a pace that feels steady rather than rushed. Instead of stopping just as meaningful work begins, extended sessions allow space for preparation, gentle reprocessing, and grounding before you leave — helping you feel more regulated and cared for. This slower, attuned approach often leads to deeper progress with less overwhelm, making intensive EMDR both compassionate and effective. $200/hour
A one-day EMDR intensive with five hours of dedicated therapy offers a focused, supportive space for meaningful healing without the start-and-stop rhythm of weekly sessions. With extended time together, your nervous system can settle, deeper processing can unfold at a gentle pace, and there is room for preparation, breaks, and grounding throughout the day. This immersive format allows us to stay with the work long enough for real movement to happen, while still prioritizing safety, attunement, and emotional steadiness. Many people find that this concentrated yet compassionate approach leads to significant progress in a shorter period of time, without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
A 2–3 day EMDR intensive, with five hours of therapy each day, offers a deeply supportive and immersive space for sustained healing. With multiple days together, your nervous system has time to build safety, settle into the work, and process at a steady, compassionate pace, while still including breaks, grounding, and integration throughout. This format is especially helpful for those carrying complex or long-standing trauma, multiple experiences that feel connected, or patterns that haven’t shifted with traditional weekly therapy. It also allows space to reflect and stabilize between days, so insights can deepen rather than feeling rushed.
In contrast, a one-day intensive can be a great fit for those wanting to focus on a specific memory, recent event, or clearly defined target, or for people who prefer a shorter, contained experience. Both options prioritize gentleness and attunement — the difference is simply how much time and depth of focus your system may need right now.
