Therapy Intensives

Therapy intensives are offered in focused blocks of time ranging from 4 to 20 hours and may be scheduled over one week to one month. Intensives offer the space to stay focused, build momentum, and work through patterns with more clarity, support, and connection.

​

One of the main reasons I felt drawn to offering intensives is that I began to see how much time and energy can be lost when meaningful work is spread out too far over time. Weekly therapy is  very helpful, and it has an important place. At the same time, with many experiential approaches, it often takes several months for clients to settle into the process, build trust, develop a stronger sense of connection in the therapeutic relationship, and feel confident using the tools in their daily lives.

​

I also began noticing that when sessions were spaced a week or two apart, we might do meaningful work around one issue, and by the next session life had moved in a different direction. Often a new concern was front and center, and there was less opportunity to stay with the original issue long enough for fuller insight, processing, and integration. At times, the work could begin to feel more scattered than focused.

​

My own experience in Brainspotting training helped clarify this even more. When we met over several days in a row and stayed with the same issue while it was still active and fresh in the mind and body, the process felt more connected, focused, and effective. That experience helped me recognize how powerful a concentrated format can be.

​

That is what led me to intensives. I wanted to offer a format that gives clients the chance to stay with what they most want to work on in a more intentional and supported way. Because this type of service falls outside the usual structure of insurance-based therapy, it is often the best fit for clients who are looking for a focused private-pay format and are ready to make a meaningful investment in their growth and healing.

​

I take that investment seriously. I care deeply about the quality of work I offer, and I continue to invest significantly in my own training, learning, and personal healing so I can bring depth, skill, and presence to the clients I serve. 

​

One benefit of an intensive is the sense of continuity it provides. Instead of using part of each weekly session to catch up, we can stay close to the work and build on new insights about the issue you want to address. This keeps our focus clear,  and helps us use our time more intentionally.
