Intensives
Accelerated Support for OCD, Anxiety, PTSD, & Complex-PTSD
Healing Intensives
Accelerate your healing journey with a focused, immersive approach to therapy. Create lasting change in a shorter period.
A Focused Approach To Healing
Intensives offer a focused, accelerated approach to healing. Instead of weekly sessions, intensives provide extended time to dive deep into specific challenges—whether it’s trauma, anxiety, OCD.
This format allows for faster progress, greater continuity, and fewer disruptions. Intensives are tailored to your needs and may include in-person, virtual, or in-home options.
They’re ideal for clients who want to create lasting change in a shorter period of time.
