Extended time to heal trauma, release negative beliefs, or elevate goals and performance.

All without having to talk talk talk about it!

For you, for now, for building what’s next.

How often are you 40 minutes into your session and still have a list of things you wanted to talk about but now you won’t have time?

How nice would it feel to finish your session and actually feel done processing your week’s topics?

How would you feel if you knew you could go to session and not only feel complete with your issue but that your healing would not depend on what you did or didn’t say about it?

Now you finally can!

Has 1hr weekly therapy left you unsatisfied in making change?

Maybe you’ve been meaning to start therapy but it keeps feeling like a hassle, let alone making time for it every week.

Maybe you’re dealing with a lot more than normal and ready for real lasting change and relief now instead of waiting for months or years, with the weekly therapy process.

Maybe you just need to get support and help in a way that can work with your schedule and lifestyle.

Or maybe the discomfort of talking through every detail of your feelings or issues has kept you from accessing the help and healing you know you’re ready for.

Therapy intensives are perfect for you. You are in the right place.

The world is changing and you’ve learned to adapt.

You need systems of support that can adapt with you.

Thankfully, intensive therapy is here to do just that.

Brainspotting Intensive FAQ

  • Brainspotting Intensives are specific, goal focused therapy that is designed to let you skip the waitlist and dive deeply into the issues you’ve been wanting to heal, in a safe and focused environment.

    Work through symptoms much faster and on a schedule that works for you. No more taking time off of work or negotiating progress with each weekly session and the things that happen in between them.

    Intensives can speed up healing by eliminating:
    - the check in at the beginning of each session
    - tending to each new concern or crisis
    - time spent on developing coping skills that client’s don’t need after healing
    - helping client’s gain composure in order to leave session and return to daily life (sometimes it isn’t even needed anymore!)

  • First we meet for a 90 minute interview to determine your goals, your current circumstances (clarifying stressors, support system, current ways of coping with strong emotion and physical sensations), and to identify the amount of time needed. We will also discuss your trauma history and any negative beliefs you may still be holding onto.

    Next, we work together during the intensive to work through and decrease emotional pain while also helping you to strengthen supportive memories, thoughts, and emotions. We will take a short, incremental breaks and then return to the work.

    This may also include processing through relationships, events, or goals or worries about your future. This process is very personal and should be highly customized to what you’re seeking.

    Lastly, we will meet for a follow up session to explore how the intensive experience settled in, marking what you’ve processed and learned, how you can build on these new insights, and continue to honor these shifts moving forward.

    • You want to experience deep therapeutic healing that can change your life quickly.

  • Application of intensive trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, offering faster symptom reduction with similar or better results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely. Learn more here and here.

More healing, less time, more cost effective!

Weekly therapy breakdown (typically):

  • 10-15 minutes check in from the last session

  • 20-30 minutes of Brainspotting processing

  • 10-15 minutes of closing the session

One month you may focus on one specific issue, costing around $1,000 for the 4 weekly therapy sessions. But what about the things that come up between sessions?

Do you leave your chosen topic to processes these new things in the next session? How much do spend reviewing things you’ve already covered when finally going back to your chosen issue? This is one way that regular weekly sessions content can shift significantly and delay the healing process.

So you might actually be in weekly therapy for multiple months, (paying $1,000 per month) and still not feel fully resolved in the issue causing you stress.

Intensive therapy breakdown (typically):

  • 10-15 minute check in, establishing session focus

  • 70-160 minutes of Brainspotting focused processing

  • 10-15 minutes closing the session

You may fully resolve one or more stressors within half a day, costing around $1225-1750. Also, 3 hours of Brainspotting processing is equivalent to at least double that amount of talk therapy so you’re doing more work in less time, needing less therapy overall.

You simply feel better faster for less money.

You get to spend less money on symptom-managing medications, you spend less time missing work or paying for childcare to attend your sessions. Instead you get to spend the same money (or less) to heal in half the time!

The bottom line is…

1-3 days can change your life.
