Intensive Therapy Optimized for Better and Faster Results.
Is traditional weekly therapy not working for you?
It’s helpful, but little actually changes.
Each session feels like lawn maintenance: It feels good right after the session when everything is “clean and green,” but the weeds grow back a week later.
By the time you find a stubborn weed, 45 minutes have passed, so you have to “mow over it” lest it get out of control by the following week’s session.
Basically, you spend time in therapy talking about whatever problem you had the week before rather than targeting the root of the problem that keeps perpetuating it!
You wonder how long it would take to feel radical change.
You’re in the right place!

Intensive Therapy FAQ
-
Intensive Therapy provides accelerated treatment, allowing for deeper exploration of issues and more intensive therapeutic work within a shorter timeframe.
-
The greatest benefit of intensives is the time to build momentum that fuels the transformation necessary for change. The uninterrupted flow gets to the issue's root faster than it would when spaced out. This is especially true for any trauma-induced symptoms.
-
Intensives would be best if you have a long-standing stubborn problem or a problem that was not resolved in traditional weekly therapy. It would also benefit you if you want to get fast results.
Weekly or bi-weekly therapy would work best if you need to integrate different perspectives into your everyday life. It’s also beneficial if you don’t have a specific concern but are interested in overall wellness and growth.

The Single Intensive
-
You have a "Specific Stuck-ness": You are looking to process a clear, identifiable trigger—such as a recurring reaction (anger, fear, or anxiety) tied to a specific person, situation, or memory.
You want Targeted Resolution: You already have a level of self-awareness and don't require a comprehensive assessment to "connect the dots" of your history.
You are a Returning Client: You have worked with me before and want to return to the container for a "tune-up" or to move through a new layer of work.
You are prioritizing Stabilization over Depth: You aren't looking to resolve the entirety of your complex trauma in one sitting, but rather to find relief for a single, pressing issue.
You want to "Test the Waters": You are navigating complex trauma but want to experience the pace and somatic depth of an Intensive before committing to the full Reclamation container.
-
A focused, 2-hour clinical session designed for those seeking immediate, concentrated support. We will work to identify core trauma patterns, establish stabilization tools, and begin the process of integration. Includes a 30-minute follow-up to check in on your regulation.
The Full Intensive
-
You are navigating Complex Trauma: You recognize that your history involves layers of developmental or repetitive trauma that require more than a single session to safely unpack.
You have "Multiple Threads" to weave together: You aren't dealing with just one isolated event; you want to address how your past impacts your boundaries, your voice, and your tendency to put others' needs before your own.
You want the most "Outcome-Effective" Investment: You recognize that a concentrated, 8-hour container offers faster momentum and deeper integration than months of sporadic hourly sessions.
You are ready for Transformation, not just "Maintenance": You aren't just looking for a band-aid; you are ready to fundamentally rewire your nervous system’s response and step into a fuller, more expressive version of yourself.
-
A comprehensive container for deep processing and lasting nervous system rewiring. This package includes 4 (four) 2-hour clinical sessions and a final 30-minute integration call to anchor your progress and ensure long-term stability.
Here’s how intensive therapy is more effective and efficient than weekly therapy for trauma:
4 Weeks of Weekly Therapy:
10 mins checking in from previous week
25 mins processing - 40-100% of time addressing current events of the week (aka “COWs”)
10 mins closing / de-escalating
Actual Processing Time:
100 mins - 40% distractions from COWs = 60mins dedicated to eliminating the root cause.
Speed:
30days
3hrs Intensive Therapy:
0 min checking in
180 mins processing + built-in momentum
0 min closing
Actual Processing Time:
180 mins + built-in momentum = 180min+ dedicated to eliminating the root cause
Speed:
1 day (3hrs)
Plus
No need to take time off work, or school, or find childcare every week.
Potentially step/reduce the use of symptom-managing medications that haven’t been working.
TLDR:
Intensive therapy can get 3x more done 30x faster
