Enrich your Healing in the Beautiful Coastal City of Portland, ME.
Many people have been in therapy for years before noticing any breakthrough moments with their mental health. Weekend Intensives offer individuals the opportunity with these trauma treatments to shift perspectives and gain monumental insight in just 2-4 days!
What are the Benefits of Weekend Intensives?
Efficiency
Most traditional therapy sessions are 50 minutes long. The weekend intensives are up to 10 hours of focused and intentional time dedicated to your mental health. That is equivalent to 10 weeks worth of therapy in one long weekend.
Affordability
KAP/EMDR Weekend Intensives cost $1650 and sole EMDR Weekend Intensives cost $1000. That is up to 10 hours of personalized and uninterrupted time used to explore a life changing and immersive therapeutic experience. A weekend intensive is a greater initial investment, but is incredibly cost-effective overall due to the shorter duration of treatment.
Groundbreaking
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and EMDR are advanced and cutting-edge treatments. There are few clinicians that specialize in both methods. These Weekend Intensives offer you access to groundbreaking therapeutic work.
Beautiful Getaway
You do not have to be a resident of Maine to participate in the Weekend Intensives. Juniper Therapeutic Services offers services to clients in Maine, Massachusetts, and New York! Enjoy a trip to the beautiful coastal city of Portland and allow the healing powers of the ocean and nature aid your journey.
Distraction-Free
Weekend Intensives are dedicated time to you and your healing. Unlike traditional weekly therapy where you have to reintegrate into the world once your hour is complete, these long weekends allow you to focus on you and you alone. These weekends allow you to fully engage in healing your trauma.
Auxiliary Holistic Treatments
There are so many great healers in this magical coastal city. Enjoy supplemental treatments like reiki, massage, and sound baths while you process the weekends’ therapy sessions.
Testimonial
“Mollie is a highly empathetic and professional therapist that I am so grateful to have found. I completed an EMDR/Ketamine intensive weekend with Mollie in which I was met with the skill and structure to delve deeper into healing with focused time. My time with Mollie was transformative in my ability to process great trauma with a close family member. The intensive weekend provided a safe container for me to process big feelings with a therapist able to support me well. I highly recommend Mollie's EMDR/Ketamine weekend to anyone who needs a very skilled therapist to walk with them on their healing journey and is ready for breakthroughs!”
-Courtney C.
Testimonial
“The ketamine-assisted psychotherapy I did with Mollie in the last six months was life-changing. I felt so safe and cared for. She made a lovely container for me to find my own healing from cPTSD, depression, and anxiety. And—I’m happy to report—for the first time in 5 years, I have seen the cloud part and sunshine touch my life!”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A KAP/EMDR Weekend Intensive is Saturday-Tuesday. I require 2 virtual preparation sessions with me and a medical intake session with a prescriber. During our intake, we will discuss your specifically tailored schedule. However, please see a general outline below:
Saturday: Meet at my office in downtown Portland for a 3 hour KAP session where you will be taking the prescribed ketamine. You will not be able to drive after this session and will need to arrange transportation back to your lodging. I recommend staying in one of the lovely hotels or airbnbs that are within walking distance of my office.
Sunday: 2 hour EMDR session. This would be a good day to schedule a supplemental healing service like reiki or a massage.
Monday: Return to my office for another 3 hour KAP session.
Sunday: Final 2 hour EMDR session via teleheath and closing rituals.
An EMDR Weekend Intensive is 3 hours of EMDR in my office on Saturday and 3 hours in my office on Sunday.
