1. Pre-Screener & Intake Session (50 mins) – Laying the Foundation

Before diving into the intensive, we’ll meet for a 50-minute Intake to ensure this process is tailored specifically to your needs and the relief you hope to achieve in our work together. In this session, we will:

• Welcome Guide Prior to our intake, you will receive the Welcome Guide which will have several prompts and questions to help you reflect on your needs, and ensure that we are creating a tailored program fit for your goals.

• Identify your top 3 goals – What do you most want to focus on?

  • Healing trauma?

  • Resolving relationship conflict?

  • Breaking free from old patterns

  We’ll clarify your priorities, together.

• Create a roadmap – Together, we’ll structure the intensive so you know exactly how we’ll approach your healing journey.

• Assess coping & support – We’ll explore how you currently manage stress, process emotions, and challenges so we can tailor the intensive to your unique needs.

• Assess Risk - Together we will explore any potential risk factors that might indicate that a therapy intensive may not be the best fit for your needs (right now) and make alternative arrangements and plans if necessary

2. The Intensive Session (3-5 hours) – Focused, Intentional Healing

This is where the real work happens. You’ll have the space to fully immerse yourself in the process without the constraints of a traditional hour-long session. Here’s what to expect:

• Get cozy in your space – Settle into a quiet, private, and distraction-free environment. Bring any comfort items (blankets, tea, journal, etc.) to help you feel grounded.

• Begin with grounding – We’ll start by settling in, regulating your nervous system, and preparing for the work ahead.

• Follow your roadmap – Using the plan we created in the intake, we’ll engage in targeted processing, whether that’s:

  • Healing trauma – Safely exploring and reprocessing difficult experiences.

  • Couples/Family work – Resolving conflict, rebuilding trust, and reconnecting with loved ones.

• Breaks as needed – You’re in control of your pacing. For longer sessions (especially 5 hours), we’ll take a 30-minute break, but we can pause anytime.

3. Integration & Follow-Up (50 mins) – Solidifying Your Growth

The intensive doesn’t end when the session does. In our follow-up, we’ll:

• Reflect on insights & growth – What shifted for you? What felt most powerful?

• Build your toolkit – We’ll equip you with coping skills, regulation techniques, and communication strategies to sustain your progress.

• Plan your next steps – Some clients feel complete after one intensive, while others want ongoing sessions or another intensive. We’ll decide together what’s best for you.

Is a Therapy Intensive Right for You?

This approach is ideal if you:
✔ Want accelerated healing in a focused container.
✔ Feel stuck in traditional weekly therapy and crave deeper, uninterrupted work.
✔ Are ready to confront challenges head-on with dedicated support.

The Transformative Power of Therapy Intensives

Imagine waking up feeling lighter—like a weight you’ve carried for years has finally begun to loosen its grip. Picture yourself in conversations with loved ones where you’re truly present, not just physically there but emotionally open, connected, and free from the old reactions that used to hijack your peace. That’s the kind of shift a therapy intensive can create.

This isn’t just another session. It’s a sacred, spacious dive into the heart of what’s been holding you back. In our time together, you’ll:

• Release what no longer serves you – Say goodbye to the emotional knots that keep you stuck in cycles of insecurity, inauthenticity, or disconnection.

• Reclaim your authenticity – Find your voice, your confidence, and the courage to show up as you—not the version of yourself that’s been shaped by old wounds or expectations.

• Transform your relationships – Whether it’s with your partner, family, or yourself, you’ll learn how to communicate from a place of clarity and compassion, breaking free from patterns that leave you feeling lonely or misunderstood.

By the end of our intensive, you won’t just have talked about change—you’ll have experienced it. You’ll walk away with:
✨ A renewed sense of calm – Your nervous system will learn what safety and regulation feel like, so overwhelm doesn’t dictate your life.
✨ Deeper connections – Imagine looking into the eyes of someone you love and feeling the trust between you, without old resentments clouding the moment.
✨ Practical tools – Real, usable skills to navigate tough emotions, set boundaries with confidence, and stay grounded when life gets messy.

This is about more than insight—it’s about embodied change. The kind that lingers in the way you breathe easier, love more openly, and move through the world like someone who knows their worth.

Are you ready to meet the version of yourself you’ve been waiting for? Let’s find out if an intensive is the right next step for you.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Therapy Intensive

Your intensive is a powerful opportunity for profound healing and transformation—and the way you prepare for it can make all the difference. Here’s how to create the ideal conditions for your growth, so you can walk away feeling truly seen, heard, and transformed.

Setting the Stage: Your Environment Matters

• Choose a cozy, private space in your home where you won’t be interrupted. This is yourtime—protect it.

• Make it nurturing: Soft lighting, a warm blanket, a comforting drink, or anything that helps you feel safe and grounded.

• Minimize distractions: Silence your phone, close unnecessary tabs, and let others know you’re unavailable. This is about you.

• Have comfort items nearby: A stress ball, fidget tools, lots of tissues, or weighted blanket can help if emotions feel intense.

Getting Clear on Your Goals (Before We Begin)

Your Welcome Guide includes prompts to help you reflect—don’t skip them! The more specific you are, the more targeted our work can be. Ask yourself:

• “What’s the #1 thing I want to feel differently after this intensive?” (e.g., "I want to stop reacting in anger when I’m hurt.")

• “What old story or pattern am I ready to let go of?” (e.g., "I’m done feeling like I’m ‘too much.’")

• “How will I know this intensive was ‘worth it’?” (e.g., "I’ll feel calmer in my body and speak up without guilt.")

During the Intensive: Honoring Your Process

• Take breaks as needed—this isn’t a marathon. If you need to pause, breathe, or move, we will honor that.

• Use grounding tools between segments: Sip water, stretch, or use a sensory anchor (like a textured object) to stay present.

• Trust the process—if emotions surge, it’s okay. We’ll move at your pace, not force anything, and ride the waves together as they come.

After the Intensive: Keeping the Momentum Alive

• Journal within 24 hours—even messy, unfiltered notes help solidify insights.

• Practice one small skill daily—maybe a breathing technique or a new way of responding in conversations.

• Schedule your integration session—this is where we make sure your growth sticks.

Bonus: Amplify Your Results

• Movement after the session—a walk, yoga, or even dancing can help release any lingering intensity.

• Share the load (if it helps)—sometimes telling a trusted person, “I did something big today,” makes it feel more real.

• Be gentle with yourself—transformation isn’t linear. If old habits creep back, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

This is your journey. Every choice you make to support yourself—before, during, and after—adds power to your healing.

You’re worth the effort.

Aftercare & Integration: Honoring Your Transformation

Your therapy intensive is designed to create profound, meaningful shifts—and just like any powerful experience, it’s important to tend to yourself with care afterward. We’ll work together to prepare you for the emotional waves that may follow, so you can leave feeling grounded, empowered, and supported in your growth.

What to Expect After Your Intensive

Healing isn’t always linear, and your mind and body may continue processing in the days (or even weeks) after our session. Here’s what some clients experience:

• Emotional sensitivity – You might feel tender, weepy, or more reactive than usual. This is normal—your nervous system is recalibrating.

• Vivid dreams or memories – Your subconscious is still working things through. Journaling can help make sense of them.

• Moments of relief and lightness – Many clients describe sudden clarity, calm, or a newfound sense of freedom.

• Increased connection – You may notice yourself engaging with loved ones in more open, authentic ways.

• Fluctuating energy – Some days you’ll feel energized; other days, you might need extra rest. Honor both.

Aftercare Practices to Stay Grounded

1. Gentle Movement

   • Take slow walks, stretch, or try restorative yoga. Movement helps your body release any residual tension.

2. Hydrate & Nourish

   • Drink plenty of water and eat grounding foods (like warm soups, nuts, or root vegetables). Your body has done hard work—fuel it kindly.

3. Journal Prompts for Integration

   • “What surprised me during the intensive?”

   • “What’s one small way I can honor what came up today?”

   • “What do I need to feel supported right now?”

4. Soothing Sensory Tools

   • Warm baths with Epsom salts, weighted blankets, or calming music can help regulate your nervous system.

5. Set Gentle Boundaries

   • If you’re feeling raw, it’s okay to take space from draining conversations or obligations. You’re allowed to prioritize your healing.

6. Reach Out for Support

   • Let a trusted friend know you might need extra care, or schedule a check-in with me if something comes up that you’d like to process.

We’ll Prepare You for This

Before your intensive ends, we’ll:

• Create a personalized aftercare plan so you know exactly how to support yourself.

• Practice grounding techniques you can use if emotions feel overwhelming.

• Identify your “anchors”—people, practices, or places that help you feel steady.

This isn’t just about getting through the intensive—it’s about integrating your growth into your life in a way that feels sustainable and true to you. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Remember: No matter how you feel after our intensive session, all of it is a valid and integral part of the process. There’s no “wrong” way to heal. We’ll make sure you’re equipped to handle it with compassion, curiosity and confidence.

Important Considerations Before Beginning a Therapy Intensive

While therapy intensives can be profoundly transformative, it’s important to be aware of the emotional process involved so you can make an informed decision about whether this approach is right for you. Deep healing work often brings up intense emotions, memories, and physical sensations—this is a normal part of the process, but it’s essential to prepare for it.

Potential Emotional & Psychological Effects

Engaging in focused trauma or deep emotional work may bring up:

• Strong waves of emotion – Sadness, anger, grief, or even unexpected relief may surface during or after the session. These feelings are temporary but can feel overwhelming in the moment.

• Activation of old wounds – Childhood memories, past traumas, or unresolved relationship pain may arise as part of the healing process.

• Physical sensations – Some clients experience fatigue, tension, headaches, or body aches as stored emotions release.

• Temporary increase in distress – Before feeling relief, some people experience a short-term intensification of symptoms (e.g., anxiety, nightmares, or emotional sensitivity). This is often a sign of processing, not regression.

• Relationship shifts – As you change, your dynamics with others might feel different—sometimes in empowering ways, and sometimes in ways that require adjustment.

How We Mitigate Risks & Support You

1. Thorough Preparation

   • We’ll discuss your history, coping strategies, and support system before diving in, ensuring the intensive is right for you.

   • You’ll have a clear roadmap of what to expect, including breaks and grounding techniques.

2. Pacing & Consent

   • You are always in control—we’ll check in frequently, and you can pause or slow down at any time.

   • We’ll focus on resourcing (strengthening your coping skills) before processing deep material.

3. Aftercare Planning

   • You’ll leave with a personalized plan for post-intensive care, including:

     • Grounding exercises for emotional overwhelm.

     • Guidelines for rest and gentle self-care.

     • Emergency contacts or crisis resources if needed.

4. Follow-Up Support

   • Your integration session ensures we address any lingering challenges and reinforce your progress.

   • If needed, we can discuss ongoing sessions or additional intensives to continue your healing at a sustainable pace.

Is This the Right Time for You?

An intensive may not be the best fit if you:

• Are currently in a crisis (e.g., active suicidality, untreated addiction, or recent trauma).

• Lack a stable support system or safe living environment.

• Feel unsure about revisiting difficult emotions without regular therapy support.

We’ll discuss this thoroughly in your pre-screener & intake session—your safety and well-being are the priority. If an intensive isn’t the right fit now, we can explore other options.

Who Might Not Be a Good Fit for a Therapy Intensive (At This Time)

While therapy intensives can be incredibly powerful, they aren’t the right choice for everyone—and that’s okay! Your safety and well-being come first. Based on your current needs and circumstances, an intensive may not be the best fit if you:

• Are in active crisis – If you’re experiencing severe suicidal thoughts, untreated addiction, self-harm urges, or recent trauma (e.g., within the past few months), a slower, more contained therapy approach, or a higher level of care may be safer and more effective.

• Lack emotional support – If you don’t have at least one trusted person (or a stable living situation) to help you process afterward, the emotional intensity could feel isolating.

• Struggle with severe dissociation or psychosis – Deep trauma work requires the ability to stay grounded. If you frequently lose time, disconnect from reality, or struggle to feel present, we may need to strengthen those skills first.

• Are unsure about revisiting painful material – Intensives require readiness to face hard emotions. If you feel hesitant or pressured (rather than willing and prepared), traditional therapy may be a gentler option.

• Have significant physical health concerns – Chronic illness, recent surgery, or conditions like uncontrolled epilepsy can make long sessions physically taxing.

This doesn’t mean you’ll never benefit from an intensive—it just means we may need to lay more groundwork first. If we determine it’s not the right time during your intake, I’ll help you explore alternatives that support your healing at a sustainable pace.

Your safety matters most. If you’re unsure whether you’re ready, we can discuss it openly in your consultation—no pressure, no judgment. We will develop creative solutions tailored to your needs together.
