Peace is possible.

You are not your OCD.

You can retreat, partnering with God to receive the healing you’ve been longing for.

You’ve tried it all.

Prayer, Bible studies, deliverance 
Reading multiple self-help books
Going to therapy
Seeing doctors
All while trying to work, parent, or care for others
And healing still feels out of reach. 

It’s time to get unstuck. 

Unstuck EMDR Intensive

Three days of therapy (Wed-Fri) dedicated to transform your outlook on life. 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach that helps you align how you feel and how your body feels with what you know to be true about God and yourself.

Getting away to your own personal therapy retreat frees your brain to focus completely on your healing. We will not only focus on the past, but will work together to laser in on what is most important to advance your healing in the present.

“I thought an intensive would be good for me because I was stuck. Sometimes in weekly sessions, you feel like you are just getting started and then you have to stop. With intensives, you can feel like you have accomplished something at the end of a day and certainly at the end of 2 to 3 days.

Carrie is really great to work with. I believe the work we have done has also increased my confidence.” -Amy from FL

Carrie Bock, LPC-MHSP

I focus on providing compassionate, evidenced-based, Holy Spirit driven therapy experiences. 

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve helped many clients in 50 minute sessions. It can work, but it takes a long time to get people where they want to go. Meanwhile, life is happening every week, so getting distracted from the root issues of what you came in for in the first place is easy to do.

I have the experience to get you the results you want.

  • MA Counseling, Denver Seminary
  • Licensed Professional Counselor since 2009
  • EMDR Consultant since 2019
  • 4 years of providing EMDR intensives

I’ve also learned many things at the high cost of suffering.

  • being a foster parent
  • divorce of my first marriage
  • the lonely season of singleness
  • remarriage
  • pregnancy complications 
  • husband with a rare medical condition
  • caregiving while trying to self-care

I’ve made the decision to completely dedicate my individual therapy time to intensives because I believe they are best suited to the complex mental health and relationship challenges my clients are facing.

A deeper level of healing 

when weekly therapy isn’t enough to get you the results you can’t live without

I needed to get away to concentrate on OCD.

Having time between each weekly therapy sessions to ruminate gives way for the OCD to actually get stronger.  I knew I needed to do something drastically different to the show up once a week therapy and talk for an hour and OCD carries in spinning for the rest of the week. I needed to get away from life and just concentrate on OCD.

The intensive benefited me immensely.  There was a lot to unpackage, and I had the time to do it.  Going right back to childhood was helpful.  It gave me the tools reach a personal goal, and I will forever be thankful for that.  It is an experience/milestone I can always go back to.

    What can we do in 3 days?

    EMDR is a past, present, and future therapy. You don’t need to identify major trauma to benefit.

    Invite God in

    As much or as little as you feel comfortable

    • We can begin with mindfulness and prayer
    • We will work together on developing a resource to help with EMDR reprocessing.
    • It’s completely normal to be anxious the first day.

    Assess the present

    Identifying present triggers 

    • We will look at specific present situations that you would like to respond to differently.
    • That way, we stay laser focused on the changes you want to make.

    Clear past blocks

    This is the secret sauce

    • We will find the memories (or ages) connected to the present triggers.
    • Find the core beliefs connected to these experiences.
    • The truth will set you free.

    Expedite the process

    EMDR does not require time in between sessions to be effective. 

    • Powerful way to align mind, body, and heart
    • Mimics the body’s natural process that happens every night during REM sleep
    • Has years of research behind it

    Plan for the future

    A healthy wrap up time on the last day

    • We can practice how you would like to respond in the future.
    • You will leave with a follow up plan.
    • I’m happy to connect with a therapist you are already working with.

    A 50 minute consultation is the first step.

    A strong assessment is important to make sure that you are a good fit for this type of Christian therapy retreat experience.

    I will send you several questionaries to fill out that will help me get to know your present symptoms and challenges. Then, we will meet together virtually to discuss what you hope to get out of the intensive.

    Common Questions

    What is the structure of each day?

    We start at 9:00am, take an hour lunch break around noon, and end at 4:00pm. We incorporate breaks as needed. 

    Will I be able to handle a full day of therapy?

    Most clients do really well with the structure and breaks. You’re probably going to be tired, especially the first day. However, most people describe the experience as relieving as they start to feel the weight of years of tension lift off them.

    I have a lot of trauma. Will this work for me?

    Yes! You do not have to reprocess with EMDR everything you have been through. We typically focus on targeting the first and worst memories. Your brain will start to generalize and other memories will become less distressful.  

    I have a hard time identifying specific memories that bother me. Is that OK?

    Yes! I’ve helped lots of people who felt like things from the past were affecting them even if they couldn’t quite put their finger on what it was. Sometimes, parts work integration can be particularly helpful here. 

    I’ve had trouble with EMDR in the past. What if I can’t do it?

    We can identify in the consultation what your struggles with EMDR have been in the past and talk about how to overcome those. I’ve had lots of training and consultation with EMDR working with thousands of clients since 2013. I’ve been able to help many people have a more positive experience with EMDR than they did initially.

    Who is not appropriate for an EMDR intensive?

    If you are acutely suicidal, in active addiction, or suffering from a severe eating disorder, you would not be a good candidate for an intensive. If you are not aware of what you are feeling or disconnected from your body, it’s going to be very hard for you to engage in EMDR. We will assess for this during your consultation.  

    I live in another state or country. Is that OK?

    Yes! I’ve had people travel from other states and countries for an unstuck intensive. 

    Are there hotels and restaurants nearby?

    Yes, lots! My office is close to the interstate, so there are several hotels and just about any kind of food you could want in addition to grocery stores for anything you may have forgotten. 

    How do the fees work?

    The total amount for the thee days is $4500. Half of the fee is due when the intensive is booked and half is due upon arrival. 

    What is your cancellation policy?

    If there is an act of God that prevents meeting such as an ice/snow storm, hurricane, flood, or other dangerous weather condition in which roads become impassible, the intensive shall be rescheduled for a later date. The intensive will also be reschedule for serious illness.

    Since I only provide two of these 3 day intensives a month, cancellation for any other reason requires at least 3 weeks notice. 

    I have another question.

    Please reach out via the contact form, and I’d be happy to answer it for you!

    You don’t have to stay stuck!

    I would love to be a part of your healing journey.
