We believe that one of the kindest, most efficient, and effective ways to overcome distressing emotions and decrease/ eliminate symptoms is through EMDR Intensive Therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been widely researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR Intensive therapy is designed to accelerate the healing process by offering several therapy sessions over a short period of time. Instead of the typical weekly therapy structure, clients dedicate 1-3 days for several hours per day to focus on a particular therapeutic issue.

Situations where you might choose an EMDR Intensive include: 

• Recent upsetting events have disrupted your day-to-day functioning and you want to feel better and return to previous level of functioning faster .
• You have witnessed or experienced a disturbing or traumatic event in your life and have symptoms that bother you (ie. car accident, work related events in first responders, sexual assault, crime, traumatic medical procedure, severe injury, violence, childhood bullying, military combat, emotional abuse).
• A week-to-week therapy schedule doesn’t work for you.
• You don’t have access to a trauma therapist but are able to spend dedicated time to travel and work in a more focused and succinct way.

Benefits to using an Intensive Therapy Approach: 

• Reprocess more information in a shorter amount of time and feel better faster: Dedicate 1-3 days to focus on healing, growth, and connection.
• Cost effective: Intensives are highly concentrated and focused, sometimes requiring less time and overall cost to the client. No more weekly appointments.
• If full day appointments (6 hour sessions) are not doable, then we offer Extended sessions. Extended sessions are 2, 3 or 4 hour sessions.

Please note that EMDR intensives are offered in half, full, or multi-day session. Insurance does not cover these services. Please call Louisville Health and Healing at (502) 472-7293 to discuss rates for EMDR intensives.

Art therapy is a powerful and experiential approach to healing that allows insight and change to emerge through creativity—not conversation alone. You don’t need to be an artist to benefit. The focus isn’t on how your art looks, but on what the creative process reveals and releases.

This method helps clients move beyond words, often uncovering emotions, memories, and clarity that traditional talk therapy can’t always reach. Art therapy can support healing for trauma, burnout, grief, addiction, anxiety, and more.

Sessions may involve painting, collage, sculpting, or other creative forms—each designed to help you reconnect with yourself in new and restorative ways.

Our licensed art therapist works with children, teens, and adults, offering private sessions that promote expression, balance, and growth. If you’ve outgrown traditional therapy or want a deeper way to heal, art therapy offers a new path forward.

Addiction is a complex brain-based condition that affects how we think, feel, and connect with others. It often shows up as compulsive substance use or repetitive behaviors that continue despite negative consequences. Over time, these patterns can alter brain chemistry, cloud judgment, and create emotional instability—making change feel nearly impossible to sustain alone.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we provide private, personalized addiction therapy that focuses on recovery from the inside out. Our approach integrates neuroscience, trauma-informed therapy, and practical recovery principles to help you regain control, clarity, and confidence in your life.

Therapy addresses:

• Substance use (alcohol, prescription medications, or other substances)

• Behavioral addictions (spending, eating, gambling, gaming, internet use)

• Emotional regulation, triggers, and relapse prevention

• Healing relationships damaged by addiction

• The deeper emotional or traumatic roots beneath use patterns

We understand that traditional models don’t fit everyone. Whether you’re seeking an alternative to 12-step recovery, re-engaging after treatment, or simply exploring your relationship with substances or behaviors, we offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, and confidential space to do that work.

Addiction recovery is not about perfection—it’s about progress. With the right support, healing is not only possible, but sustainable.

At Louisville Health & Healing, EMDR therapy helps you process and release the memories, sensations, and emotions that keep you stuck. Using gentle bilateral stimulation (BLS), EMDR supports your brain’s natural ability to heal from painful experiences — including trauma, loss, betrayal, and other unresolved events that continue to impact daily life.

When the past remains unprocessed, it can interfere with being fully present. Flashbacks, nightmares, or sudden emotional waves often arise “out of nowhere.” EMDR helps calm these responses, reducing the intensity of thoughts and emotions in the moment while creating lasting change.

Our therapists are fully trained and certified in EMDR and integrate this powerful approach for a wide range of concerns — from PTSD and anxiety to burnout, grief, and performance blocks. Together, we’ll identify the experiences that need healing, create a clear target plan, and work through each step with safety, presence, and precision.

EMDR doesn’t just reduce distress — it changes how your mind stores and responds to memories. Clients often describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded, able to move forward without being defined by the past.

Trauma is a deeply personal response to distressing experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope. Whether it stems from a single event or years of chronic stress, trauma can change how the brain and body process safety, trust, and connection. Many people experience lasting effects long after the event is over — intrusive memories, anxiety, nightmares, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of emotional numbness.

At Louisville Health & Healing, our trauma therapists specialize in helping you safely process and release what’s been held inside for too long. We treat both acute and complex trauma, including childhood abuse, neglect, loss, medical trauma, and experiences of violence or betrayal. Using evidence-based and integrative approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and expressive therapies, we help clients restore balance, regulation, and meaning.

Common trauma symptoms we address include:

• Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts

• Emotional reactivity or detachment

• Chronic anxiety or hypervigilance

• Difficulty trusting or maintaining relationships

• Physical symptoms like tension, insomnia, or fatigue

Healing from trauma isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about transforming how it lives within you. Our private-pay trauma therapy offers the confidentiality, pace, and depth needed to create lasting change. With compassionate guidance, you can reclaim your sense of safety, strength, and self.
