What are Therapy Intensives?
Intensives are an innovative format of therapy that can bring a remarkable amount of insight and breakthrough to people who feel stuck in shame, confusion, and disillusionment.
Maybe you’ve been through something really painful, and it’s still affecting you. You can’t seem to get past an event, experience, or belief system from your past. Or you’ve got a big event on the horizon—a wedding, a new job, becoming a parent—and you want to be mentally and emotionally ready. Or maybe you’re already doing weekly therapy, but you feel stuck and ready to break through. If any of this sounds like you, a Therapy Intensive could be a perfect fit.
The intensity and focus of an intensive mean you can skip the usual “stop-and-start” of regular sessions. Without the time gaps in between, you’re able to go deeper and make faster progress. This time is all about you, personalized to your needs, with space to truly focus on yourself.
For one to three days, you can set aside all other responsibilities: unplug, take time off work, maybe even stay in a hotel. It’s like a personal retreat with therapy as the center, designed to help you feel better faster and make real, lasting changes.
This isn’t just time-efficient—it’s deeply transformational The time you spend on this intensive can translate to real change in your everyday life, bringing you closer to the goals that matter most to you.
Together, we can find the healing, clarity, and freedom you are looking for.

FAQs about Therapy Intensives
-
Therapy Intensives are focused, extended sessions, from one to three days. They are perfect for people that are ready for relief now. If you’re ready to see things change in your life, emotions, and relationships but you don’t want to wait a year for that to happen, Therapy Intensive may be right for you. If you have a specific belief system, trauma, or event that you want support with, this can be the focus of your Therapy Intensive. The dedicated time will be customized specifically to you and your goals.
-
Therapy Intensives are more effective and efficient than normal 50-minute therapy sessions. The research suggests that Intensives give you the results you would get from months of therapy in a much shorter period of time. If you add up the cost of weekly therapy, an Intensive is actually more cost effective. You will make greater progress in a shorter amount of time and truly experience break-throughs.
They are also ideal for people who need to travel to me for therapy or who don’t have time for weekly therapy.
-
Intensives take place in my Knoxville office and are available to any adult women who are willing to travel here. Many of my clients travel in from out of state, making this time into a personal retreat. Pre- and post-intensive sessions may take place virtually if you reside in any of the 42 PSYPACT states. Fully virtual intensives are not offered at this time. Couples/marriage intensives are not offered at this time.
-
Each Intensive includes an intake session, the Intensive sessions (one to three days), a workbook of assessments and exercises, a library of resources and videos, and a post-intensive session.
-
My Therapy Intensives start at $1,500 for new clients. Although it is a greater investment up-front, Intensives are actually more cost-effective than weekly therapy because you make greater progress in a shorter amount of time. Therapy Intensives are not covered by insurance. However, if you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse a portion of the Therapy Intensive.
-
The Intensive day may include EMDR planning, processing, or resourcing, experiential activities, parts work, somatic exercises, education, and mindfulness meditation, depending on your needs ands goals. I use a variety of techniques and meet you at a pace that is comfortable for you.
-
Yes, Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.
-
That’s ok! If an Intensive isn’t right for you, consider regular EMDR Therapy with me, or my Purity Culture Recovery Coaching if you do not need mental health therapy.
