EMDR Intensive Retreats
in Charlottesville, Virginia
Are you ready for deep healing and restoration that can come in days, rather than months or years?
EMDR Intensive Retreats provide an efficient and effective way to resolve difficulties that are rooted in earlier experiences of abuse, neglect, trauma, or difficult parent/caregiver relationships. During a Retreat, participants engage in 2-3 days of individualized EMDR therapy, located in the scenic community of Charlottesville.
Each 5- or 6-Hour day of an Intensive Retreat is equivalent to months of traditional weekly therapy. This prolonged healing state enables focused therapeutic work, which produces progress and relief that amplifies and deepens during the Retreat.
Retreats are conducted in-person by EMDR-Certified Therapist Katie-Anne Padalino, LPC.
Format & Logistics
EMDR Intensive Retreats begin with a 90-minute Intake Session. During this session, we will determine if an Intensive Retreat is right for you at this time, identify your needs and goals for treatment, and develop a plan for your personalized Retreat. At the end of the Intake, you will receive an estimated length for your Intensive Retreat, and we will collaborate on a schedule that works for you.
The heart of the Retreat consists of full days of Intensive EMDR Processing sessions. You will choose the length of your retreat days — either 5 or 6 hours of Individual EMDR therapy. Each day includes short breaks as needed, and a 1-hour lunch break. EMDR Retreats last an average of 2-3 days.
Two weeks after the completing the Retreat, clients conclude their Therapy Retreat with a 60-minute Integration & Closure Session.
