Heal deeply. Reclaim your peace. Live the life you deserve.
What Is a Therapy Intensive?
A Therapy Intensive is a focused and immersive therapeutic experience that condenses months of progress into days.
Instead of attending weekly 60-minute sessions, you’ll spend extended, uninterrupted time (half-day or multi-day) working through the root causes of anxiety, trauma, and emotional exhaustion.
Intensives are ideal for people who feel stuck, want faster results, or need deeper healing than traditional weekly therapy can offer.
Why Choose an Intensive Therapy Approach?
The Power of Going Deep and Staying There
Traditional therapy can be highly effective, but when sessions are spread out week-to-week, it’s easy to lose focus and momentum. Therapy Intensives provide a unique opportunity to stay focused, go deep, and sustain that depth for longer periods of time—allowing for profound breakthroughs that might otherwise take years.
With Therapy Intensives, You Can:
Dive Deeper: Spend uninterrupted time addressing core issues and patterns.
Maintain Momentum: Build on insights and progress in real-time without the “start-stop” effect of weekly sessions.
Create Lasting Change Faster: By dedicating full days or multiple sessions to your healing, you can achieve results that save months—or even years—of traditional therapy.
If you’ve felt frustrated, stuck, or burnt out from “talking about the same things,” an intensive gives you space for breakthrough and renewal.
What to Expect from Your Therapy Intensive
Each intensive is personalized to your goals, comfort, and emotional pace. You’ll always have choice, safety, and collaboration at every step.
Pre-Intensive Consultation
We’ll start with a one-on-one 90-minute session to understand your goals, history, and current challenges. Together, we’ll create a customized plan for your intensive experience.
Half-Day or Multi-Day Intensives
Your intensive will include extended sessions using EMDR, mindfulness, and nervous-system-based techniques. We’ll focus on building coping tools and emotional grounding before processing deeper experiences.
Each day’s flow is unique to your needs and may include somatic work, EMDR reprocessing, and integration time.
Post-Intensive Support
Healing doesn’t end when the intensive ends. You’ll receive:
A personalized 90-minute post-intensive session
Optional monthly check-ins
Continued therapy or self-guided follow-up resources
Every part of the experience is designed to help you maintain momentum and feel confident moving forward.
Remember: Intensives are tailored made just for you. Every session and step will be based on your needs and unique to you.
What Is EMDR Therapy and How It Works?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain and body heal from stored trauma and distressing experiences.
It’s especially effective for anxiety and trauma because it targets the root—helping your nervous system release what’s been stuck, so you can live with more ease.
During Your Intensive, EMDR Can Help You:
Reprocess painful experiences without feeling retraumatized
Calm your body’s overactive stress response
Let go of negative self-beliefs (“I’m not enough,” “I can’t handle this”)
Build self-trust, confidence, and emotional stability
By the end of your intensive, many people describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves than they have in years.
Who are Therapy Intensives for?
Therapy Intensives may be right for you if:
You feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, or avoidance
You’ve tried therapy before but need a deeper, more focused approach
You’re struggling with unresolved trauma or emotional pain
You’re constantly caretaking others and ignoring your own needs
You want to make meaningful progress in less time
If this sounds familiar, an intensive offers a compassionate, powerful way to create lasting change.
