Beneath the Surface Therapy offers in-person sessions in La Quinta, California and secure telehealth sessions for clients anywhere in California (when clinically appropriate).

An EMDR intensive is a focused, accelerated therapy format that concentrates the work into longer sessions across fewer days. It’s designed for people who want meaningful movement without a long weekly timeline—while still keeping pacing, regulation, and integration clinically structured.

EMDR intensives are often a good fit for clients experiencing:

• Persistent rumination or intrusive replay
• Trauma-bonded relationship patterns that feel difficult to exit
• Irrational fears you understand logically but can’t control emotionally
• Cumulative stress, burnout, and identity erosion in high-responsibility roles
• Grief, betrayal, moral injury, and difficult experiences that still activate the nervous system

Start by booking a free 15-minute intensive call. We’ll clarify what you want to address, confirm fit, and determine the best container (3-hour, 5-hour, or 3-day).

Intensives are billed at $225 per hour.

• 3-Hour Intensive: $675
• 5-Hour Intensive: $1,125
• 3-Day Intensive (5 hours/day): $3,375

EMDR intensives are private pay and are not billed to insurance.

For standard psychotherapy sessions (limited availability), Beneath the Surface Therapy is currently credentialed with:

• UnitedHealthcare
• Magellan Health
• Cigna / Evernorth
• Medi-Cal

Consultation is a professional support container for EMDR-trained clinicians seeking help with fidelity, case conceptualization, target sequencing, stuck points, and safe modifications.

Consultation is not clinical supervision. Consultees retain full responsibility for clinical decisions, documentation, and case management. Please present de-identified case material only.

Submit a consultation request. If it’s a fit, you’ll receive an invitation to schedule a Fit Call and discuss the best consultation format (individual or group).
