EMDR Therapy Intensives
EMDR Therapy Intensives in Denver, CO
Personalized, EMDR Intensives
Maybe you’ve done the work.
Talk therapy, self-help books, podcasts, even years of trying to “figure it out.” You can explain why you react the way you do — but knowing hasn’t changed your behaviors.
You might catch yourself thinking:
“I know my history, I know my triggers — but my behaviors haven’t changed.”
“I keep replaying situations in my head, wishing I’d handled them differently.”
“I don’t see how feeling my feelings is going to help me fix anything.”
You’ve gained insight, but not the one thing you’ve been longing for: real change in how you respond and react.
Or maybe you haven’t done much therapy at all.
Because from the outside, nothing is “wrong.” You’re successful, capable, the one people rely on. Everyone thinks you’ve got it all together.
But inside, it sounds more like this:
“My brain never shuts off — it’s running a mile a minute.”
“I say yes to things I don’t have the time for.”
“I have to get it right every time, or it feels like I’ve failed.”
“I know I should relax, but I can’t.”
You keep functioning, but it’s exhausting to live this way. And it’s getting harder to ignore that something deeper needs your attention.
“Intensives give you the space to uncover the roots of your struggles, trust yourself again, and stop repeating the same exhausting patterns.”
~ Dr. Dorothy Moon
Why an EMDR Intensive?
Traditional talk therapy can be powerful — but it moves slowly. Fifty minutes a week often means circling around the surface, warming up, or stopping just when things start to get real. Progress feels like stop–start–stop-start. You don’t have another year to figure this out, you need a change now.
An EMDR intensive isn’t about doing more therapy — it’s about giving yourself the uninterrupted space to go deeper in unpacking how you think, feel, and behave, and taking steps towards lasting change.
Here’s how it works:
-
Focused, personalized work – We’ll use approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, and EFT to get to the root of stuck patterns and shift them.
-
Built-in pauses – You’ll have time for grounding, reflection, and rest, so the work feels intentional—not overwhelming. This is why a yoga nidra session is offered with every intensive.
-
Integration and clarity – In weekly therapy, you often just begin to open something up before the session ends. In an intensive, the extended time allows you to follow the full arc of the work—staying with it until resolution. Each step builds on the last, helping you connect insights with the felt experience in your body so change actually sticks.
-
Preparation and follow-up – You’ll receive prep work to set intentions beforehand, and a plan for continued support afterward.
The structure is deep, yet supportive and paced for you. Many clients are surprised by how quickly the time passes—and by how safe and empowering it feels to finally do the work they’ve either been putting off for years or didn’t realize they needed.
What Becomes Possible
With an EMDR therapy intensive, you’ll begin to:
- Hear your own inner wisdom clearly — and trust it.
- Notice and honor your feelings instead of pushing them away.
- Understand and share your needs without shame or guilt.
- Break the cycles that keep you stuck in relationships.
- Feel grounded, present, and authentically you.
This isn’t just insight. It’s a transformation you can feel right away — and carry into every part of your life.
An Individuals Words After Their Intensive
“I’m so thankful I found EMDR—it’s truly changed my life in ways I didn’t know were possible.
During my intensive at The Catalyst Center, I felt safe enough to face things I’d been carrying for years. In just a few days, I released what months of talk therapy couldn’t touch.
The support, the structure, and the care from my therapist helped me finally feel calm in my body again. I left with hope, clarity, and a sense of strength I hadn’t felt in a long time.”

Why Now
You’ve kept going by managing, coping, and powering through — but it’s wearing you down, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep going.
Many clients come to an intensive carrying quiet, persistent beliefs that hold them back, like:
- I’m not lovable
- My feelings don’t matter
- I need to keep everyone else happy
- I must keep my needs and opinions to myself, or I’ll be seen as selfish
The longer these unhelpful core beliefs go unaddressed, the more they shape your relationships, your decisions, and how you show up in the world — leaving you feeling unseen, unheard, unfulfilled, and stuck.
An EMDR therapy intensive experience designed just for you.
What’s at Stake
- More exhaustion: Managing day-to-day without a path forward deepens the fatigue and frustration.
- Widening distance: Patterns that go unprocessed erode connection with partners, friends, and colleagues.
- Lost opportunities: The longer you wait, the more opportunities slip by—missed career growth, strained relationships, and the life you’ve been longing for.
This is your turning point.
The beliefs and patterns don’t have to run your life anymore — the best time to start changing them is now.

This Is For You If…
You’re ready to stop understanding your patterns and start changing them.
An EMDR intensive might be exactly what you need if:
-
You’ve made progress in therapy before but feel like you keep circling the same themes without real relief.
-
You know why you react the way you do — but can’t seem to change your reactions in the moment.
-
You’re exhausted from overthinking, overfunctioning, or feeling “stuck” even when life looks fine on the outside.
-
You sense that something deeper is driving your anxiety, perfectionism, or emotional disconnection — and you’re ready to face it.
-
You want to move through the hard stuff, not just talk about it, and finally feel calm, clear, and connected again.
If any of this resonates, an EMDR intensive gives you the time, structure, and expert guidance to do the work that changes everything — from the inside out.
Through EMDR Intensives, Dorothy helps clients move beyond insight into real change—releasing old patterns, rebuilding trust in themselves, and discovering that healing can happen faster, deeper, and more gently than they ever imagined.
