A therapy intensive is an immersive therapeutic experience designed to provide focused, in-depth counseling over a condensed period. It typically involves several hours of therapy per day over a few days or a week, allowing for deep exploration and rapid progress.

Therapy intensives are beneficial for individuals, couples, or families navigating complex concerns that require concentrated attention. They are ideal for those experiencing relationship challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions.

Unlike traditional therapy, which occurs weekly or biweekly, therapy intensives offer extended sessions over a short timeframe. This approach allows for more profound insights and breakthroughs that might take months in a regular setting.

Therapy intensives are tailored to address the specific needs, goals, and preferences of the individual or group participating in the intensive. Sessions are structured to incorporate various therapeutic modalities, techniques, and interventions to optimize the therapeutic process and best possible outcomes. We typically offer intensive sessions for 3-6 hours for 1-3 days.

Preparation involves identifying your goals and challenges to discuss with your therapist. It's also beneficial to clear your schedule as much as possible to fully engage in the experience and avoid distractions before intensive session(s). This includes making time for adequate sleep before the intensive and rest afterwards.

Yes, continuity is key to the intensive process, so you'll work with the same therapist or therapeutic team throughout to ensure consistency and deeper understanding.

Therapy intensives tend to be higher investment due to the personalized, concentrated nature of the sessions. Each intensive involves extensive preparation, specialized approaches and customized resources (e.g., workbook), and longer hours of dedicated therapeutic work.

​However, therapy intensives may be a cost-effective option compared to going to weekly or bi-weekly therapy for months or years. Sessions are condensed to a shorter time frame, often leading to quicker breakthroughs and resolution of issues. For example, intensive sessions may address core concerns more efficiently, reducing the number of sessions and resulting in lower total costs in the long run.
