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.

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.

Break Free from People-Pleasing, Overgiving, and Emotional Burnout

Codependency often hides behind care, love, or loyalty — yet it quietly drains our energy, self-worth, and boundaries. You may find yourself giving more than you have, feeling responsible for others’ emotions, or struggling to say “no” without guilt. These patterns are often rooted in early family dynamics, trauma, or relationships where you had to earn love by caretaking.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we help clients uncover and heal the deeper patterns that keep them stuck in unhealthy relationship cycles. Through individual therapy focused on emotional boundaries, self-identity, and inner healing, you can begin to reconnect with your own needs and rediscover your sense of self.

Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed modalities like EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and somatic and expressive therapies, helping you move beyond insight into real transformation.

We work with clients who experience:

• People-pleasing and fear of rejection

• Guilt for setting boundaries

• Emotional exhaustion or burnout

• Anxiety around others’ approval

• Difficulty trusting or letting go of control

• Cycles of resentment or dependency in relationships

Private-pay therapy offers the freedom to work on core identity and relational healing without the limitations of insurance-driven treatment plans. Together, we’ll build new ways of relating — rooted in balance, authenticity, and emotional independence.

Compassionate, Private Support for Loss and Healing

Grief is a universal experience — yet no two losses are ever the same. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, the loss of a career, or a major life change, grief can leave you feeling disoriented, numb, or completely overwhelmed. Healing takes time, and you don’t have to do it alone.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we offer private, personalized grief counseling that meets you exactly where you are. Our therapists provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to process the pain of loss, make sense of shifting emotions, and rediscover meaning and hope.

We help clients who are navigating:

• Loss of a loved one, friend, or pet

• Divorce or relationship separation

• Job loss, retirement, or life transition

• Complicated or prolonged grief

• Trauma and regret related to loss

Grief often comes in waves — some days are gentler, others feel unbearable. Our therapists are here to help you ride those waves with support, reflection, and grounding. Through integrative methods like EMDR, expressive therapies, and mind-body awareness, we help clients process grief without rushing it — and build a life that honors both what was lost and what’s still possible.

“You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.
You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be.”
— Elizabeth Kübler-Ross & David Kessler

Private-pay sessions allow for depth, privacy, and flexibility — no diagnosis required, no session limits.
Appointments available within 7 days, in-person or virtual.

Find Relief, Reconnection, and Hope

Depression is more than sadness — it’s a disconnection from joy, energy, and purpose. It can quietly alter how you think, sleep, move, and see yourself in the world. For some, it feels like heaviness that won’t lift; for others, it’s numbness and fatigue that make even small tasks feel impossible.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we specialize in private, individualized therapy for depression that goes beyond symptom management. Our approach combines depth-oriented exploration with evidence-based tools to restore motivation, meaning, and balance.

Common experiences include:

• Loss of interest, motivation, or pleasure

• Fatigue and sleep disruption

• Irritability, guilt, or hopelessness

• Trouble concentrating or making decisions

• Changes in appetite or weight

• Thoughts of self-harm or “not wanting to be here”

Depression has many causes — biological, psychological, environmental — but it always deserves compassion and a tailored plan for healing. Our therapists draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mind-body techniques to help you reconnect to your internal strength and begin to rebuild a sense of aliveness.

Calm Your Mind. Reclaim Control. Live with Ease.

Anxiety can look like constant overthinking, perfectionism, or the inability to rest — even when life appears stable on the surface. It can cause sleepless nights, racing thoughts, physical tension, and an underlying sense that something bad is about to happen.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we help clients break free from chronic worry and fear through personalized, private-pay therapy. Our goal is to teach your nervous system how to relax and your mind how to feel safe again.

We treat:

• Generalized anxiety and excessive worry

• Panic attacks and health anxiety

• Performance or social anxiety

• Work-related burnout and stress

• Perfectionism and fear of failure

Using methods such as CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, we focus on both relief and long-term transformation — not just coping. Together, we’ll identify triggers, reframe beliefs, and retrain the body to respond calmly instead of reactively.

Appointments available within 7 days, in-person or virtual.
