Are Therapy Intensives the Answer?

If you are feeling extremely stuck and can’t imagine how waiting a week for a single 60-minute therapy session will help you make the necessary changes, you are not alone. While traditional therapy works wonders for many people, for others, life’s challenges require a different approach. Therapy intensives are designed to foster breakthroughs, offering a powerful and transformative experience. This concentrated therapy model allows you to focus deeply on healing to accelerate change.

What Are Therapy Intensives?

Therapy intensives are concentrated sessions, often lasting several hours or spanning multiple days a week. Unlike traditional therapy, where sessions are spread out over weeks or months, intensives allow you to dive deeper into your challenges in a structured, focused way. Whether you’re working on anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship issues, or emotional regulation, therapy intensives provide the time and space to make significant progress quickly.

Why Choose a Therapy Intensive?

1. You’re Feeling Stuck: Sometimes, weekly sessions don’t provide enough time to address the core of your struggles. Therapy intensives allow you to spend extended time with your therapist, uncovering patterns and developing strategies that traditional therapy may take weeks to tackle.

2. You’re Facing a Crisis or Transition: When life throws curveballs—like a breakup, a career shift, or a major loss—it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Therapy intensives can offer immediate support and guidance, helping you stabilize and move forward with clarity and confidence.

3. You Want Faster Results: If you’re looking for a transformative experience in a shorter time frame, therapy intensives might be the perfect fit. They’re ideal for people who want to jumpstart their healing journey or tackle specific goals without waiting months to see progress.

4. You Have a Busy Schedule: For those with demanding lives, fitting weekly therapy into the calendar can feel impossible. Therapy intensives provide a flexible solution by condensing the work into fewer, longer sessions that fit your availability.

5. You want to engage in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP): Although ERP can be done in traditional weekly therapy sessions, therapy intensives focusing on ERP allow for greater flexibility, creativity, and progress. During ERP Therapy Intensives, we can plan to meet in the office, virtually, in your home, or out in the community so that we can create the best conditions to challenge and change your patterns of anxiety.
