EMDR Intensive Therapy in South Portland, Maine
You're done talking about it. You're ready for something to shift.
Immersive trauma therapy for high-achieving adults who learned to hold everything together and are ready to feel like themselves again.
If you’re feeling stuck, you don’t need to start over. You need a different approach.
Trauma often needs more time, focus, and intention than a weekly hour allows. EMDR intensives give us room to go deeper and create the conditions for real change.
Maybe this sounds familiar…
You were the easy one. The capable one. The one your parents relied on. So you learned to need less, notice everything, and keep things running, without anyone realizing how hard you were working to keep everything from falling apart. You became independent long before you were meant to, because there was no other choice.
Somehow, you're still living that story. You look fine. You are fine, by most measures: successful, dependable. And you're burnt out. You're braced all the time, still taking care of everyone else, still exhausted from people-pleasing. You give everyone else what they need. You're just not sure anyone actually knows you, including you.
Coping isn't enough anymore. You want to feel connected, not just capable. Present, not just competent. Able to hear yourself, not just everyone else.
With dedicated time and space, an EMDR intensive allows you to:
Process what's underneath the patterns you already understand
Shift beliefs about yourself, others, and what you're allowed to need
Get to the root of the self-defeating patterns and relationship dynamics that keep repeating
“In the weeks following my intensive sessions with you, I had a number of people notice how much better I seemed to be doing. I told them about the treatment and always ended my spiel with ‘I feel unrecognizable yet somehow the most myself I have ever been.’ I truly cannot thank you enough for getting me there. Things are far from perfect, of course, but I am here living a life that I couldn’t have dreamed of until I worked with you, and I just wanted to tell you that. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving me the tools I needed to build a life I love.”

Meet Kate Kinney, LCSW
I work with adults who are tired of living the same patterns or circling the same issues in therapy week after week and are ready to shift something at the root, not just manage it.
I'm an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist who specializes in EMDR intensives, with over 1,500 hours facilitating them since opening my practice in 2020. I love this work, and I've built my practice around intensives because I've seen how much they can move for people, in a way weekly sessions often can't. By the end of our work together, my clients often describe more space between what they feel and how they react, calmer bodies, more connected relationships, and greater self-trust.
We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.
