FAQs
Weekly therapy is helpful for steady, ongoing support. Intensives allow for: 1) more momentum and continuity, 2) a deeper focus without stopping and restarting each week, and 3) faster access to underlying patterns and root causes. Intensives are designed to help you make deeper progress in a shorter amount of time. Many clients choose to do both.

What should I expect after the intensive?
5
After an intensive, it’s common to feel relief or clarity, experience an emotional release, and feel some fatigue as your system processes the work. Every intensive includes a follow up session to check in, address questions, and provide any additional recommendations for integration. Some clients feel that one intensive session was enough to make the shifts they were looking for. Other clients feel it is helpful to continue with additional follow up sessions, or participate in multiple intensives. It is unique to you.
How do I prepare for my intensive?
6
Before your session, you will need to complete the intake forms and questionnaires, clarify your goals and intentions, arrange a quiet, private and uninterrupted space, and plan for rest and integration time afterward

Therapy Intensives are not for everyone. Intensives are exactly that: intense. There needs to be a willingness to sit with the discomfort, explore difficult content, and maintain for an extended period of time.
Intensives are not meant for active crisis situations. Intensives require you to feel stable for extended emotional processing. Therapy intensives are not suitable for those experiencing an active suicidal crisis, active substance dependence, unmanaged psychosis, severe dissociation without stabilization, or medical or psychiatric instability.
