Trauma Intensive
When you want an extended therapy experience that offers more time and continuity than a traditional weekly session allows.
In a typical therapy hour, we have to account for arriving, settling in, doing the work, and making sure there is enough time to close before you leave. Sometimes, just as we begin to reach something important, it is time to stop. An intensive gives us enough room to do deeper work and follow the process as it unfolds.
More time does not mean pushing harder or trying to process as much trauma as possible. It gives us the flexibility to work at the pace your nervous system needs without being as constrained by the clock.
