A Different Kind of Trauma Work

Step Two:
The Intensive Day

Your intensive is a full-day therapeutic experience tailored specifically to your treatment goals and nervous system needs. The structure of the day is designed to create enough space for meaningful processing, regulation, and integration without the stop-and-start rhythm of traditional weekly therapy.

This work is active, engaged, and deeply intentional.

The Intensive Experience is a curated, full-day therapeutic immersion designed to support meaningful processing, nervous system regulation, and lasting integration, not just temporary relief.

This work is intentional and deeply focused. We are not simply opening painful experiences and leaving them unresolved. The goal is to help your system move through what has been held and settle differently afterward.

Many people who pursue intensives have already spent years understanding their patterns and telling their story. This approach creates the space to move beyond insight alone and into deeper processing and change.

Our Process

Step One: Assessment

  • (1–3 Hours)

    Before scheduling an intensive, we begin with a collaborative assessment session. This allows us to thoughtfully determine whether this format is the right fit for you and your nervous system.

    During this session, we will:

    • Complete EMDR screening

    • Identify and map treatment targets

    • Discuss goals, history, and readiness for intensive work

    • Determine whether this process aligns with your needs and capacity

    This is not a rushed consultation. Taking the time to prepare carefully helps ensure the work is done safely, intentionally, and well.

Common Questions

  • An intensive is a full-day, focused therapeutic experience designed to support deeper processing and integration than traditional weekly therapy often allows. It creates space for meaningful work without constantly stopping and restarting the process each week.

  • We begin with an assessment and goodness-of-fit session to determine whether this approach aligns with your needs, goals, and nervous system. This work is best suited for people who are ready for direct, engaged, trauma-focused processing.

  • Not necessarily, though many people who come here have already spent years in therapy or self-development work. What matters most is your willingness to engage honestly in the process.

  • I primarily work with grief, loss, childhood trauma, complex trauma, dissociation, and nervous system patterns that continue affecting daily life long after experiences have ended.

  • This work goes beyond insight and coping skills alone. The focus is helping your system actually process what it has been carrying — not simply talking about it intellectually.

  • Yes. EMDR is a central part of the work, including advanced EMDR approaches for trauma, dissociation, and deeply rooted nervous system responses.

  • I strongly prefer in-person work for intensives whenever possible. This level of therapy benefits from shared space, presence, and the ability for your nervous system to fully engage without the distractions of everyday life.

  • Intensives require extensive preparation, scheduling, and reserved time dedicated specifically to you. Non-refundable payments help protect the integrity and structure of the process.

  • Yes. Clients are encouraged to keep the following day free from work, childcare, and major responsibilities whenever possible to allow time for rest and integration.

  • Many people who find this work are highly capable, self-aware, and used to carrying a great deal on their own. You do not need to perform strength here. You only need to show up honestly.
