Tena Burnett, Ph.D., LPC - EMDR Certified
Focused EMDR for people who don't have time to stay stuck.
You've probably had a history of anxiety related to public speaking, pitching, or being visible online for instance. It’s probably getting in the way of your business and/or career. Usually it’s not the event itself. Most times there's a past traumatic event or a message you received about being seen which has caused you to shut down before it happens again. We spend one full day of EMDR therapy addressing the beliefs and memories under that anxiety, instead of months (or years) of weekly sessions. You leave no longer feeling paralyzed by fear, no longer talking yourself out of opportunities, and take action without overanalyzing yourself first.
ABOUT
Tena Burnett, Ph.D., LPC
Licensed Therapist
I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and EMDR-certified clinician licensed in Georgia and Washington, DC. With over 22 years experience, my background spans clinical practice, advanced trauma training, and organizational consulting in behavioral health.
I work with a narrow client base — which means when I take you on, you have my full attention. My practice is referral-based. If you're here, you found your way for a reason.

SERVICES
Intensive EMDR sessions
Intensive EMDR sessions
(6 hour blocks) are for you if:
- You're someone who wants to work efficiently — not spend years in weekly therapy
- You've done personal development work and want to go deeper on a specific block (specific triggers like public speaking, other visibility)
- You prefer privacy and flexibility (these extended sessions are also offered on weekends)
- You want a licensed clinician with real clinical training, not a coach
This is NOT the right fit if:
- You are experiencing an active crisis
- Complex dissociative symptoms, or trauma requiring long-term stabilization.
If any of these apply, I can refer you to the right provider — no pressure, no judgment.
90 min · online up to 3 hour intensive sessions
How it Works:
- Free 30-minute call: We talk briefly about what you're working on and confirm an intensive format is the right fit.
- Intake + history: You complete a short intake before your first session so we use our time together efficiently. We spend 45-60 minutes reviewing your history and what you want to work on. Then we take another 60 minutes to identify and prioritize your processing targets before we begin processing.
- VIP 6-hour EMDR intensive processing: We go in and are focused, efficient, and clinically complete; we work on the targeted processing on the specific beliefs, memories, or blocks you prioritized.
- Integration follow-up: Brief check-in within a 1 - 2 weeks. Written notes included including what to watch for as the work settles.
Investment / Pricing
Full day VIP Intensive - $2500 (intake, target planning, + 6-hour processing session + intake review + integration follow-up - Saturdays also available)

EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that works below the level of conscious thought — reaching the stored beliefs and patterns that talk therapy and mindset work can't fully access. For high-achieving professionals, it's often the missing piece.
