Fast track your healing journey and get lasting results.
Therapy intensives are an increasingly popular way to accelerate your therapeutic journey so you can feel better faster. There’s no rule that says weekly therapy for months or years is the best or only option. Sometimes weekly therapy is a great fit and sometimes an intensive can do more for you in 1-3 days than months, or years, of therapy.
How do Trauma Therapy Intensives help accelerate healing?
Depending on the issue, traditional 50 minute weekly sessions may not be enough to see the results you want.
Consider a typical 50 (or even 60) minute session:
10 min to check in and catch up since the last session
30-40 min to deep dive
10 min to wrap up at the end of the session
Assuming weekly sessions, this combines to only 2-3 hours per month of deep processing time.
Therapy Intensives, on the other hand, allow you to spend more hours deeply processing issues and working through your concerns in one day. Intensives are equally effective online and in-person. Depending on where you live and your preferences, we can book your intensive fully online, in person, or a combination of both. If you’re interested in creating a customized Therapy Intensive, please contact me. You’ll get a free 30 minute consultation to see if an intensive is a good fit for you.
Intensives are especially helpful to process and heal trauma. They include more than just talk therapy. The trauma therapy approaches I use offer long term healing and incorporate mind, body, and spirit connections. These modalities are a great fit for the intensive format.

Why Try a Therapy Intensive?
Your work/school/family schedule makes it hard to book consistent weekly therapy sessions
The thought of booking weekly sessions feels stressful and overwhelming—like it’s another thing to fit into an already too long to-do list
You want uninterrupted time to focus on one issue without feeling rushed—and without regular life stuff coming up between sessions
You’re already in therapy and feel like you’re stuck or on the verge of a breakthrough—you wonder if an integrated, somatic approach could help
You’re dealing with a big issue that’s negatively impacting your life—you need a lot of help so you can feel better now, not in weeks, months, or years
You’re the type of person who works better in an intensive format—you love focussing on one big thing at a time and crossing it off your list
You want to plan and prepare emotionally and mentally for an upcoming life transition like a big move, new job, becoming a parent, a wedding, or medical issue
Your Therapy Intensive Includes:
Pre-Intensive Session
An online or in-person 90-minute session 1-2 weeks before your Intensive day(s) to prepare. We’ll collect information, go over assessments, determine your goals, and get you feeling prepared and ready for the Intensive.
Customized Intensive Session(s)
The Intensive takes place online or in-person for 2-4 hours each day (with extra time for breaks) over 1-3 days. We’ll include targeted activities and therapeutic approaches customized your needs and goals.
Post-Intensive Session
An online or in-person 90-minute session 2-3 weeks after the Intensive to debrief the experience, review progress, and reflect on insights and transformations. You’ll leave with a plan for next steps in your healing journey.
Intensives are like a fast-pass experience—you get to plan around your schedule and accelerate your healing.
How to Include Therapy Intensives
Intensives as an add-on service
Schedule an intensive with me even if you see another therapist. We can work together to customize an intensive that makes sense for your treatment and you can absolutely continue working with your primary therapist.
This option allows you to explore a different therapeutic approach or modality that your current therapist doesn’t offer.
If you’re a current client of mine, we can skip some of the pre-intensive steps and try an intensive at a lower rate.
Intensives as your go-to form of therapy
Whether you’re new to therapy or you’ve seen multiple therapists, you can choose intensives as your go-to therapy approach.
For some people, working in an intensive, focussed way is a better fit for how they learn and process. Therapy needs to change to meet diverse needs.
You can book intensives monthly, every 3-4 months, or on whatever schedule makes sense for your life, goals, and healing journey.
Book an intensive before things reach the breaking point.
Therapy Intensives are becoming more popular because they offer amazing opportunities to deep dive into an issue or prepare for life transitions. Many people seek intensives to heal trauma because the uninterrupted space and time allow us to process sensitive topics and intense feelings. Others value scheduling regular uninterrupted chunks of time to explore patterns that are holding them back, get to the root of their issues, and make lasting changes.
You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming. Intensives also help you plan intentionally for your future. Prevent small bumps from becoming big issues.
Intensives are a wonderful way to process and be intentional about any decisions where you feel stuck or torn in multiple directions. Some people use intensives like a retreat—a time to mindfully set goals or work on your healing and wellness without the distractions of regular life. Doing an in-person intensive in a beautiful city like Victoria can be restorative and energizing even as you do the deep work.
