Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the complimentary 15-minute consultation?

The initial 15-minute phone call is a low-pressure conversation where we discuss your goals, answer any questions about EMDR therapy or intensives, verify logistics and scheduling, and ensure my clinical approach aligns with your needs.

How do EMDR Intensives differ from weekly therapy?

Extended sessions can allow more time for preparation, sustained processing, grounding, and closure than is possible within a traditional 50-minute appointment.

Is telehealth EMDR effective across Massachusetts?

Yes! Telehealth EMDR uses specialized, secure visual and auditory bilateral stimulation tools. Clients across Massachusetts receive the exact same clinical protocols from the comfort and safety of their home.

What is your fee structure and superbill policy?

Dr. Carlson is a private-pay therapist. EMDR Intensives range based on length and customized retreat format. Monthly superbills are generated for out-of-network insurance reimbursement.
