A therapy intensive is an extended mental health session designed for people who prefer focused, in-depth work rather than weekly appointments. With 3 to 4 hours of uninterrupted time, you can finally dive deep into the issues that have been holding you back — with space to explore, release, and move forward without rushing or stopping early.
Each intensive is customized just for you. Together, we'll set clear goals for your session, and I'll guide you using techniques including CBT, Cognitive Reframing, Somatic Tapping, Brainspotting, Meditation, and other modalities to help you release blocks and make real progress.

A half day intensive is 3 to 4 hours in length. Many people start here for their first intensive experience.
Some common issues addressed:
Anger
Phobias
Guilt or Regret
Sexual assault flashbacks
War flashbacks
Other trauma or upsetting events
Weekday pricing: $1,000 – $1,200 Weekend pricing: $1,300 – $1,600
For a whole day intensive, we meet for 3 to 4 hours in the morning, take a longer break of 1.5 to 2 hours, and then have another 3 to 4 hour session in the afternoon. Most people complete two 3-hour sessions for a total of 6 hours. The maximum recommended for one day is 8 hours.
The work accomplished during a whole day intensive is equivalent to approximately 12 to 15 weekly therapy sessions.
Weekday pricing: $1,600 – $2,000
Weekend pricing: $2,200 – $2,800

Some people choose to fully immerse themselves in the healing process by scheduling a multi-day intensive — typically 2 or more days of 6 to 8 hours of therapy per day. This may also be structured as a series of half day sessions where we meet each morning and you rest in the afternoon, returning the following day refreshed and ready to continue.
Sessions aren't limited to an office. Depending on your goals, some of our time together may take place outdoors or in real-world settings. We might walk on the beach, where the waves provide a natural release for deep emotions. Or we might visit a public space like a mall — a powerful, supportive environment for working through social anxiety and rebuilding comfort in everyday situations. Your intensive is designed around what will serve you best.
