EMDR Intensives in Cypress, TX
When something painful from the past still shows up in your body, like a racing heart, shutting down, or always feeling on edge, it can be exhausting. You may understand what happened, yet your system still reacts as if it’s happening now. Spring Grove Counseling offers EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trauma intensives at our office in Cypress, TX, so you can have focused time to process what’s been weighing on you, close to home.
If you’re in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
What Is an EMDR Intensive?
EMDR therapy is a structured approach that helps your brain process experiences that feel stuck. The goal is for a memory to feel like something that happened in the past, not something you are still reliving.
In an EMDR intensive, you work one-on-one with a therapist for longer blocks of time instead of 50 minutes a week. Rather than stopping just as something begins to surface, you have time to move through the process safely and at your pace. Some intensives also use IFS (Internal Family Systems), a gentle way of understanding the protective parts of you.
Half-Day to Multi-Day Formats
Every intensive is shaped around you. Options range from 90-minute and 2-hour sessions to half-day (3-hour) intensives, and up to full-day and multi-day intensives spread over one to three days. Most intensives follow three steps:
01
Intake, safety, and preparation
Your therapist gets to know your history and goals, and helps you feel grounded before deeper work begins.
02
Processing
Using EMDR, and IFS when it fits, you gently work with the memories and experiences that have been holding distress.
03
Integration and next steps
You leave with grounding tools and a clear plan for continuing your care.
Breaks are part of the plan, and we never push you faster than feels manageable.

How Much Does an EMDR Intensive Cost?
We list current prices on our Trauma Therapy Intensives page. With Lori Conger, LMSW, at our Cypress office, a 90-minute intensive is $220. With Heidi Grover, a 2-hour intensive is $600 and a 3-hour intensive is $900. Fees for other formats and clinicians are shared during your free 15-minute consultation. You can see all session fees on our fee page.
Does Insurance Cover EMDR Intensives?
No. Intensives are self-pay and are not billed to insurance, and we don’t provide superbills for intensives. We’ll go over costs plainly during your consultation so you can decide what works for you before you book.
Do EMDR Intensives Work?
Everyone heals differently, and no therapist can promise a specific result. Many clients find that longer, focused sessions help them stay with the work long enough to process it, instead of closing back up when a session ends. Many also find that, over time, triggers feel less intense.
An intensive may not be the right first step for everyone, especially if you need stabilization or crisis support first. During your consultation, we’ll talk honestly about whether an intensive, weekly sessions, or another level of care fits you best.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep seeing my current therapist?
Yes. An EMDR intensive can work alongside the therapist you already see. After your intensive, you can go back to your own therapist, or keep meeting weekly with your intensive therapist.
Who will I work with in Cypress?
Lori Conger, LMSW, offers EMDR intensives in person at our Cypress office. If you’d rather meet from home, Deborah Workman, LPC, NCC, and Heidi Grover, LPC, CCTP, offer intensives through secure online therapy in Texas.
How long is an EMDR intensive?
It depends on what fits you. Options range from 90-minute and 2-hour sessions to half-day (3-hour), full-day, and multi-day intensives over one to three days. Intensives longer than 3 hours are with Heidi Grover or Deborah Workman.
Do I have to share my whole story on the consultation call?
No. Your free 15-minute consultation is a short call to talk about what you’re looking for and whether an intensive format fits you. You don’t need to go into the details of what happened.
Is an intensive a good fit for everyone?
Not always. An intensive may not be the right first step if you’re in an acute mental health crisis, at active risk of harm, or dealing with untreated substance dependence. If so, we’ll talk with you about weekly therapy or another level of care. If you’re in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
