Do EMDR intensives qualify for insurance reimbursement?

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

How do I get started with an EMDR intensive?

Start by booking a free 15-minute intensive call to confirm fit, discuss what you want to address, and determine the right intensive container.

Do you offer telehealth for EMDR intensives?

Yes. Intensives are available in-person in La Quinta, CA and via secure telehealth for California residents when clinically appropriate.

A clear next step.

Begin an EMDR intensive inquiry or ask about consultation for your EMDR practice. Personal clinical information belongs in SimplePractice, not the administrative website form below.

EMDR: How to begin EMDR consultation General inquiry ↓

Psychotherapy: California telehealth · Clinician consultation: online

Two ways to begin

The right place for your inquiry.

Choose care for yourself or professional consultation. An administrative message does not replace an EMDR prescreener.

01 · Private psychotherapy

EMDR Intensives

Focused, individualized psychotherapy in three- or five-hour blocks, with a planned sequence when clinically appropriate. Not open-ended weekly sessions.

Private pay · No insurance billing
Adults physically in California · Telehealth

Prescreener first. I review your responses before offering a complimentary 15-minute consultation when appropriate. Submitting the form does not book an appointment.

Begin the EMDR inquiry Formats & fees

02 · Professional consultation

EMDR Consultation

Focused case consultation for EMDR-trained clinicians exploring preparation, pacing, case conceptualization, or a clinical decision.

60 minutes · $225 · Online
Not personal psychotherapy or clinical supervision

Inquire before booking. Briefly identify your EMDR training level and what you hope to strengthen. Do not include client names, records, or identifying case details.

Inquire about consultation Scope & credentialing status

Different purposes. Personal psychotherapy and clinician consultation have separate agreements. An inquiry does not reserve an appointment.

A separate, nonclinical form

Share the purpose,
not the full story.

Ask about EMDR intensive logistics, clinician consultation, or referral arrangements. A short administrative question is enough.

After you submit: I review your message and respond about next steps using the contact methods you permit. This is not a clinical application, confirmed appointment, or agreement to provide services.

General & professional contact

What would you like to ask?

For administrative questions only. Please do not include health information or identifying details about someone else.

Seeking EMDR treatment? Please use the EMDR prescreener pathway instead. This Formspree website form is not a secure clinical channel.

Inquiry type (required)

Administrative questions only. New treatment inquiries use the EMDR prescreener. Do not submit client case details or records here.

Name to use when contacting you (required)

Organization or practice (optional)

How may I contact you about this inquiry? (required)

Permission is for administrative replies to this inquiry only, not marketing. No text messages are requested through this form.

Email (if authorized above)

Use an address you permit for a reply.

Phone (if calls are authorized)

A phone number alone is not permission to call.

If calls are permitted, may I leave a voicemail?

No clinical details. This does not authorize leaving a message with someone else who answers.

Permitted emails and voicemails stay administrative. Sender information may identify the practice; accounts, devices, and notification previews may be shared. Note any additional limits below.

Contact restrictions or access needs (optional)

Anything else I should know before responding?

For example: calling times and time zone, a shared account, a name to avoid, or a communication accommodation. No diagnosis or personal history is needed.

Your question (required)

Brief administrative details only. Do not include trauma narratives, diagnoses, intimate experiences, insurance or payment numbers, identifiable case material, or confidential records.

Please do not use this form for urgent support. Submitting does not subscribe you to marketing.

JavaScript is off. Enter contact details only for the methods you authorize. If you permit calls, choose a voicemail preference. Required contact details must be checked manually in this mode.

Need urgent support? These forms are not monitored for emergencies. In the United States, call or text 988 (information opens in a new tab) for crisis support. For immediate danger or a medical emergency, call 911.

Privacy, existing clients & separate services

Clinical communication

Current clients should use the SimplePractice portal (opens in a new tab). New EMDR inquiries begin with the reviewed prescreener. Do not send clinical records through this general form.

Your contact choices

Contact preferences apply to the response to this inquiry. You may update them when communicating with the practice. Email, phone messages, and shared devices have privacy limitations; this form is not an emergency contact system.

Different purposes

Private EMDR psychotherapy and clinician consultation have separate purposes and agreements. The intensive prescreener is for prospective treatment; the website form is for administrative and professional inquiries only.
