Intensive Therapy

Meaningful progress at an accelerated pace

Intensives sessions are concentrated blocks of therapy designed to accelerate the healing process. An intensive consists of 4 to 6 hour sessions for 1 to 5 days in a row. Rather than dealing with things on a weekly basis for months or even years, you can work through many issues intensively and fast track the healing and relief.
