"The wound is where the light enters you." — Rumi

Make space for what you need with therapy intensives.

Have you ever felt that right at the end of the therapy hour you are just getting to something that feels important? Me too. Then a whole week happens, tender places get triggered, and you spend the first chunk of time in the next session catching up. Therapy intensives offer the opportunity to go deeper, stay longer, and work through an arc of connecting, healing, and integration in a half day, full day, or consecutive days rather than weeks or months.

For individuals, we can address a trauma memory network with the slow pace that prevents overwhelm and offers completion without needing to reset and stabilize each week. IFS intensives create space to work with protectors, building trust across the system. I often say that connection with protectors is not in the way of the work, it is the work. Intensive sessions offer time for integration of healing work.

For intimate partners, we can unpack and re-work stuck patterns, facilitate repair from ruptures and betrayals, grieve loss and pain, and reconnect around issues of intimacy, communication and disagreement. Intensive sessions allow time for skill building apology, developing skills for Courageous Communication and developing new rituals for ease of connection and relationship care.

Details and Fees

Scheduling an intensive consists of a 1 hour intake and preparation meeting, a three or five hour session (plus a break for lunch), and one scheduled follow up session.

Individuals will receive a worksheet to help identify the areas of focus and to become familiar with the IFS model, and a worksheet to support integration after the session.

Couples will receive an introductory packet with details about the therapy model we will use, worksheets to help bridge skills from sessions to home, and a packet of prompts for personal practice and integration of the session work into every day life.

Intensive work offers a unique opportunity for focused care on your relationship and your healing.

A three hour session, including introductory and follow up session is $900 and a full day, five hours plus an hour for lunch is $1600. Payment plans are available.
