Intensive therapy
for when weekly sessions aren’t enough
Going to therapy once a week just isn’t cutting it — your challenges are too urgent, too painful, or too complex to wait. Intensive therapy may be the breakthrough you need. These 2- or 3-day deep-dive sessions offer 5 hours of therapy per day, designed to help you move further, faster.
Intensive Weekends are made for those who:
Feel stuck in patterns that aren’t shifting with weekly sessions
Are facing a crisis and need support now—not months from now
Have limited availability and need therapy to fit your schedule
Are ready to dig deep and heal with momentum and clarity
With a weekend intensive, you can start taking bigger steps towards the kind of healing and growth you’ve been waiting for.
For Couples
Whether you’re:
Constantly fighting and unable to get unstuck
Reeling from betrayal or infidelity and unsure how to rebuild
On the verge of breaking up—or want to prevent a breakup
Struggling with long-distance, co-parenting, or major transitions
A Couples Intensive gives you the time and space to repair, reconnect, and rediscover your relationship’s foundation
For Individuals
You might be:
Struggling with the weight of past trauma that won’t let go
Feeling stuck in anxiety, grief, or self-doubt
Tired of making progress only to feel pulled backward again
Ready to face something big but don’t want to drag it out over months
An EMDR or Individual Intensive offers the space to go deeper, process more, and find relief with greater momentum
For Families
If your family is:
Dealing with ongoing conflict or miscommunication
Navigating big changes like divorce, launching adult children, or caring for aging parents
Walking on eggshells, avoiding hard conversations, or feeling emotionally shut down
A Family Intensive creates a structured space where everyone’s voice is heard, and real healing and resolution can start to happen
