Trauma-Focused Intensive Therapy
Our trauma-focused intensive therapy delivers concentrated treatment through day-long sessions that accelerate healing compared to traditional weekly therapy. This approach allows uninterrupted processing of traumatic memories while maintaining client comfort and safety. Clients benefit from dedicated time blocks that facilitate deeper therapeutic work without scheduling conflicts.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain process traumatic memories and resume natural healing. This evidence-based method reduces distress associated with traumatic events without requiring homework or extensive talking. Clinical studies show lasting results for PTSD and anxiety symptoms.
Grief Counseling
Specialized grief counseling addresses complex emotions from loss through targeted memory processing. Our approach helps clients reconnect with positive memories while resolving traumatic aspects of their grief. The intensive format allows comprehensive treatment of multiple loss experiences.
Online Therapy Sessions
Secure online therapy provides accessible trauma treatment from any private location. This option maintains therapeutic effectiveness while offering flexibility for clients who prefer remote sessions. Confidential video sessions use HIPAA-compliant platforms for client privacy.
Intensive Retreats
Our intensive retreats combine focused therapy with holistic care elements like massage and nutrition. The structured day-long format maximizes therapeutic progress while maintaining client well-being. Retreats include personalized pacing and regular breaks to optimize processing.

Questions
What is EMDR therapy and how does it work?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain process traumatic memories. This evidence-based method reduces distress associated with traumatic events through guided eye movements or other sensory input.
How do intensive therapy sessions differ from regular therapy?
Intensive sessions use day-long formats instead of weekly hour-long appointments. This allows deeper therapeutic work without interruptions, enabling faster progress by maintaining continuity between memory processing and emotional regulation.
Are online therapy sessions effective for trauma treatment?
Yes, our secure online platform delivers the same therapeutic effectiveness as in-person sessions. Virtual sessions maintain confidentiality while offering flexibility for clients who prefer remote treatment options.
What types of trauma do you treat?
We specialize in treating PTSD, grief, anxiety, and trauma from childhood experiences, accidents, and loss. Our approach addresses both single-incident trauma and complex trauma from multiple life experiences.
What is the cancellation policy for intensive sessions?
Cancellations within one week incur a $600 fee, within two business days $1,200, and no-shows are charged the full rate. Time of cancellation is determined by notification time relative to business days.
