Intensives
You are not living the life you imagined
You’re ready for change now! You desire a more concentrated approach to your healing and are ready to invest in yourself.
Intensive therapy offers a focused, often accelerated approach to addressing deeper emotional or behavioral challenges. Instead of the traditional weekly hour-long sessions, intensive therapy provides multiple-hour sessions over one or more days, allowing for a more concentrated and immersive therapeutic experience. This approach can be particularly effective when you’re looking for faster results, seeking deep healing, or navigating a significant life transition.
Why Choose Intensive Therapy?
For some people, the standard once-a-week therapy format may not feel like enough to dive deep into complex issues. Intensive therapy offers the opportunity to make significant progress in a much shorter time. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, intensive therapy can help you work through core challenges more efficiently.

Some reasons people choose intensive therapy include:
- A desire for faster results or quicker relief from distressing symptoms.
- Limited time available for regular weekly sessions due to work, family, or other obligations.
- A need to address a specific issue or life event that requires focused attention.
- Feeling stuck in your current therapy progress and wanting to break through to deeper insights and healing.
In intensive therapy, you’ll spend multiple hours in therapy over one or more consecutive days. This allows for more in-depth exploration of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. With more time in each session, we can dig deeper into the root causes of your struggles, work through emotional blocks, and process difficult experiences that might take weeks or months to cover in traditional therapy.
Intensive therapy sessions are carefully structured to ensure that you’re not overwhelmed by the amount of time spent in therapy. We’ll use a combination of therapeutic techniques, such as Brainspotting, mindfulness, somatic work and talk therapy, to guide you through the process at a pace that feels right for you.
- Accelerated Healing: One of the main advantages of intensive therapy is that it often allows for faster healing. When you have several hours to focus solely on your mental and emotional well-being, you can move through difficult emotions and experiences more quickly than in weekly sessions.
- Deep Focus: Intensive therapy provides the time and space to truly focus on what matters most to you. Without the constraint of a one-hour session, we can explore issues in greater depth, allowing for more profound insights and breakthroughs.
- Reduced Disruption: Instead of committing to long-term weekly sessions, intensive therapy allows you to work through key issues in a condensed time frame. This can be especially beneficial for those with busy schedules or those who want to minimize the disruption to their daily lives.
- A More Immersive Experience: The extended sessions in intensive therapy help create an immersive experience that promotes deeper emotional processing and self-reflection. This concentrated time can be incredibly healing, especially when working through trauma or unresolved emotional pain.
- Personalized Attention: With more time in each session, the therapeutic work can be more tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, managing anxiety, or healing from past trauma, intensive therapy allows for a more personalized approach.
- Immediate Application of Insights: The extended format of intensive therapy allows for real-time exploration and application of insights. You can reflect, process, and integrate new understandings within the same session, providing a sense of momentum and progress.
One of the key techniques I use in intensive therapy is Brainspotting. This powerful therapeutic method helps access and release deeply held emotional blocks, often in a more efficient and focused way. In an intensive setting, Brainspotting can help accelerate healing by allowing us to spend uninterrupted time working through specific emotional or psychological challenges. The combination of Brainspotting and extended therapy sessions can lead to faster, more profound shifts in how you feel and function in your life.
Intensive therapy may be a good fit if:
- You want to make significant progress in a shorter time frame.
- You’re navigating a major life transition or facing a crisis.
- You’ve experienced trauma and are seeking a concentrated, healing-focused approach.
- You’ve been in therapy for a while but feel stuck and are ready for deeper, more focused work.
- You have a limited schedule but want to dedicate focused time to your mental health and well-being.
If you’re ready to dive deep and experience more rapid progress, intensive therapy could be the transformative approach you need. Reach out to learn more about how we can create a customized intensive therapy plan to help you reach your goals in a shorter time, with long-lasting benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Therapy Intensive is an accelerated form of therapy designed to help clients go deeper and get results faster. Instead of attending therapy one hour per week for a year, why not carve out a weekend or a week for Therapy Intensives? It's a cutting-edge approach to help people feel better faster. No need for a weekly therapy appointment.
In fact, many people think of Therapy Intensives like a retreat. For that weekend or week you can unplug, take time off work, get a babysitter, or even stay in a hotel. This time is completely dedicated to you so you can focus on healing, reflecting, and reconnecting.
Therapy Intensives are perfect for people that are ready for relief now. If you're ready to see things change in your life and your relationships but you don't want to wait for that to happen next year - a Therapy Intensive may be right for you. If you have a specific topic, trauma, or stressor that you want support with - this can be the focus of your Therapy Intensive. The dedicated time will be customized specifically to you and your goals.
Therapy Intensives are more effective and efficient than normal 50-minute therapy sessions. Typically in a 50-minute session, there are at least 5-10 minutes of "check- in" at the start of the session and usually, 5-10 minutes spent on "closing up" or "checking out" at the end of a session - Leaving only 30-40 minutes for deep therapeutic work. Therapy Intensives are different. A 3-hour Therapy Intensive allows for 2.5 hours of depth work. That's the equivalent of five 50-minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!
Great question! This depends on your goals for the Therapy Intensive. Some goals can be reached in a 1 Day Intensive (3 hours), but other goals are more complex and may require a 3 Day Intensive. I can help you determine the number of days that would work best for your therapy goals.
Absolutely! Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.
Therapy Intensives are not covered by insurance. However, if you have out-of- network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse a portion of the Therapy Intensive. It's best to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card to learn the details about your specific plan. Make sure to ask questions like: Do I have a deductible for out-of-network services? Have I met my deductible? What CPT billing codes do you reimburse? What is the rate of reimbursement for each billing code? What is the allowable amount for reimbursement?
A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at the time you book your Therapy Intensive. The remaining 50% is due on the first day of the Intensive Session.
