EMDR Intensives
3 Months of EMDR Therapy in 3 Intensive Days
EMDR Intensives are a focused form of trauma therapy designed to help you achieve meaningful breakthroughs in days instead of months. By working through multiple sessions over a short period, you can stay fully engaged and make faster progress.
Mark Odland, MA, LMFT, MDIV, offers EMDR Intensives for men dealing with stress, burnout, trauma, and relationship challenges. Sessions are available in person in Duluth, Minnesota, or online, providing a private and structured setting for deep, focused work.
What Are EMDR Intensives
Experience 3 Months Worth of Therapy in 3 Days
EMDR Intensives are a structured form of trauma therapy where multiple EMDR sessions are completed over a short period of time, rather than spread out over weeks or months. Instead of meeting once per week, EMDR Intensives allow you to work through deeper issues across several extended sessions over the course of a few consecutive days.
This format is designed to reduce the stop-and-start nature of traditional therapy. With less time between sessions, you’re able to stay connected to the work and process experiences more effectively. This leads to faster progress and a greater sense of momentum.

Who Are EMDR Intensives For
EMDR Intensives are often a good fit for individuals who want a more focused and efficient approach to therapy.
This may include:
👉 High-performing professionals: Managing stress, pressure, or burnout behind the scenes
👉 Men feeling stuck in patterns: Repeating behaviours or reactions they can’t seem to change
👉 Those working through trauma: Past experiences still impacting daily life or relationships
👉 People with limited availability: Busy schedules that make weekly therapy difficult to maintain
👉 Clients outside the local area: Wanting to work with a specific therapist without ongoing travel
👉 Those seeking faster progress: Ready to address issues directly without long gaps between sessions
