Therapy intensives offer a powerful alternative to traditional weekly therapy—providing focused, high-impact care in a condensed timeframe. Instead of spreading sessions over months or years, intensives deliver deep, sustained work over a few days or weeks, helping you move through stuck points and experience meaningful change faster.

Where traditional therapy often involves gradual progress between sessions, intensives create a continuous and immersive process. Without the usual interruptions of daily life, you’re able to stay connected to your emotional work, integrate insights more quickly, and reach levels of healing that might otherwise take longer to access.

For many people, life’s pace and responsibilities can make weekly therapy challenging to maintain—or the gaps between sessions can allow stressors and triggers to “derail” the process. Intensives are designed to remove those barriers by condensing care into a focused, intentional timeframe that maximizes emotional momentum and minimizes external distractions.

These sessions are designed to reduce the barriers that can impact progress—minimizing life disruptions while maximizing emotional breakthroughs. Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, or just feeling stuck, intensives create space for deep, sustained work that leads to meaningful change—faster.

IFS Informed EMDR Intensive Therapy

 

What to Expect

​

Therapy intensives include approximately 20–30 hours of one-on-one work, scheduled in a way that fits your life and goals. Some clients choose a single, immersive week; others prefer to spread sessions across several weeks or months in structured clusters.

Each intensive is carefully personalized. I integrate EMDR therapy with an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, combining EMDR’s brain-based precision with the compassionate, parts-oriented depth of IFS. This approach honors your protective systems while safely engaging with the mind’s most wounded places—allowing for lasting change rather than temporary relief.

​

Many of my clients have previously engaged in therapy, including EMDR, and found it difficult to access or to sustain deeper healing. This integrated model makes trauma work more accessible and effective, especially for survivors of complex trauma, helping you move beyond long-standing internal blocks and toward profound, transformative healing.

​

Who Might Benefit from an Intensive

Therapy intensives may be a good fit if you:

• Feel “stuck” in ongoing therapy and want to accelerate your healing.

• Are navigating trauma, grief, or relational wounds that require focused attention.

• Have limited time for ongoing weekly sessions but want meaningful progress.

• Prefer immersive, structured work over an extended period.

• Are ready to engage deeply in your healing process with support and guidance.

​

You May Want To Consider Traditional Therapy Scheduling If:

Intensives may not be the best option if you:

• Are currently in acute crisis or experiencing active suicidal thoughts.

• Need ongoing stabilization or daily therapeutic support.

• Struggle with substance dependence or behaviors that would make extended emotional work unsafe.

• Prefer gradual, paced therapy with time between sessions for reflection and integration.

​
