Trauma work often requires uninterrupted time and a slower pace to feel safe and effective. In an intensive, we can stay with the work long enough to fully process a memory or belief without needing to stop mid-way. EMDR and IFS are especially well-suited to this format, allowing for deeper healing in a single session.

If you’re avoiding certain places, situations, or activities because of fear, you’re not alone. Phobias can be disruptive and exhausting—but they’re also treatable. In a therapy intensive, we create a focused space to understand what’s driving the fear and begin gently reprocess it.

With more time than a weekly session allows, we can complete multiple exposure exercises and use EMDR and/or IFS to reprocess the fear response. This extended format helps you build confidence and regain freedom in your daily life more efficiently than traditional therapy.

Living with OCD can feel like being stuck in loops of intrusive thoughts, rituals, or mental checking. You might know your thoughts aren’t “rational,” but they still feel urgent or impossible to ignore. While Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard treatment for OCD, not all clients tolerate ERP well at first—especially those with trauma histories, perfectionist parts, or high emotional sensitivity.

An intensive for OCD can begin by introducing parts work to help you better understand the parts of you that demand control, soften inner critics or hopelessness, and reduce shame. This early work can increase your readiness for CBT or ERP by helping your internal system feel safer and more supported.

From there, we may move into exposure exercises, slowly facing your fears in a way that feels collaborative and manageable. Some clients continue ERP with us, while others return to their regular therapist to continue the work with a new foundation of insight and support.

Big changes can activate uncertainty, grief, or fear. Intensives provide space to explore what’s being stirred up—old patterns, conflicting parts, or limiting beliefs—so you can move through the transition with more clarity, grounding, and self-trust. Whether you're navigating a health diagnosis, career shift, or relationship change, we’ll help you find your footing.

If you're already in therapy but feel like you're spinning your wheels, an intensive can help unblock deeper work and move on from the concern of the week. You might use the time to focus on a particular theme, reprocess something that hasn’t been fully resolved, or do a deeper round of IFS or EMDR to reignite momentum.

Some clients begin therapy with one clear concern they want to address. A therapy intensive offers a focused, intentional way to dive in. This can be a meaningful first step—either as a stand-alone session or as a way to begin ongoing therapy with more insight and direction.
