Her Current Clinical Focus

In response to the growing research on the benefits of intensive EMDR therapy, Ms. Wilson Billian is offering extended EMDR sessions of 3.5 hours as of 2025. Intensives are a condensed form of EMDR therapy that can help people heal from trauma more quickly. They may be beneficial for clients who wish to process a significant trauma or recover from multiple traumas over a shorter period of time. These are also a good fit for the individual with scheduling conflicts that prevent participation in weekly psychotherapy spread out over a long period of time.
