Trauma Intensives

You need change NOW.

Work through unresolved issues, heal from trauma, or clarify your goals to start feeling better, faster.

Let It GoDoes this sound like you?

  • “I’m ready to feel better now.”
  • “I don’t have time for months of therapy.”
  • “I’ve already been to therapy, but I want real, lasting change.”
  • “I’m ready to go deep and get to the root of my issues.”

Accelerate your path to healing and achieve lasting change.

Trauma intensives are a powerful way to speed up your healing journey and get results that last.

There’s no rule that says weekly therapy over months or years is the only way to heal.

Sometimes an intensive session in 1-3 days can do more for you than months of weekly therapy.

How do trauma intensives help you heal faster?

Sometimes, weekly 50-minute therapy sessions aren’t enough to get the results you’re looking for.

ticking-clockLet’s break it down: In a typical 50-minute session:

  • About 10 minutes are spent catching up and checking in.
  • 30-40 minutes are used for deeper work.
  • Another 10 minutes go toward wrapping up.

That adds up to only 2-3 hours of deep processing time per month if you’re attending weekly sessions.

Trauma Intensives, however, allow you to spend several hours in one day focusing deeply on your concerns. They provide the time and space to work through issues more thoroughly.

Therapy intensives can be done online, in-person, or a mix of both, depending on your location and preferences. They are especially helpful for trauma healing because they go beyond just talk therapy.

I use trauma-focused approaches that connect the mind, body, and spirit for long-term healing. These methods are a perfect fit for intensives, helping resolve symptoms faster and with fewer dropouts compared to weekly therapy.

Why choose a trauma intensive?

  • Your busy work, school, or family schedule makes it hard to attend weekly therapy.
  • The idea of weekly sessions feels overwhelming—like one more thing to add to your already full to-do list.
  • You want uninterrupted time to focus deeply on an issue without feeling rushed or having everyday life get in the way between sessions.
  • You’re already in therapy but feel stuck or on the verge of a breakthrough and wonder if a more integrated, body-centered approach could help.
  • You’re dealing with a major issue affecting your life and need help now, not weeks or months down the road.
  • You prefer working intensively—you like focusing on one big thing at a time and getting it done.
  • You want to emotionally and mentally prepare for a life transition, like a move, new job, parenthood, wedding, or medical challenge.

What’s included in your intensive

budding-flower1-2 weeks before your Intensive, we’ll meet for a 90-minute session (online or in-person) to get ready. We’ll gather important information, review assessments, set clear goals, and help you feel prepared for the Intensive.

The Intensive itself happens over 1-3 days, either online or in-person. Each day includes 2-4 hours of focused work, with time built in for breaks. We’ll use specific activities and therapy approaches tailored to your needs and goals.

2-3 weeks after your Intensive, we’ll have a 90-minute session (online or in-person) to reflect on your experience, review your progress, and talk about the insights you’ve gained. You’ll leave with a clear plan for your next steps in healing.

Therapy Intensives give you a fast-track option to fit your schedule and speed up your healing process.

Book a trauma intensive before things feel even more overwhelming

pencil-and-calendarTherapy Intensives are becoming more popular because they’re a great way to focus deeply on an issue or prepare for big life changes.

Many people turn to intensives to heal trauma since the uninterrupted time allows for processing sensitive topics and strong emotions. Others use them to dive into patterns holding them back, uncover the root of their struggles, and make lasting changes.

You don’t have to wait until life feels overwhelming.

Therapy Intensives can also help you plan ahead and prevent small challenges from turning into bigger problems. They’re a powerful way to make intentional decisions when you feel stuck or unsure about which direction to take.

For some, intensives feel like a retreat—a chance to focus on healing, setting goals, and improving wellness without the usual distractions of daily life. Doing an in-person intensive in a beautiful city like Boulder, Colorado can even feel restorative and energizing while you work through the hard stuff.
