Personalized Intensives

Why A Personalized Intensive?

You've Tried...

Weekly therapy

Talk therapy

Self-help meetings

Retreats

But You're Still...

Stuck

Frustrated

Anxious

Directionless

Instead of spending months – or even years – chipping away at your issues, you can experience deep, and sustainable shifts in a few days.

By having an extended time together (half day – 4 days) our Personalized Intensives can help you go beyond what weekly sessions can do, allowing you to dive deep towards clearing away problems, and stepping into solutions.

Whether you know what is at the root of these challenges or not, and whether you remember your trauma or not, you can still experience deep healing.

By using somatic techniques, your body can experience healing without having to talk about painful memories

An intensive might be right for you if…

You’re ready to take a deeper dive
You want to accelerate your healing
You’re ready to get unstuck
You’re ready for change

If you are working with a therapist, counselor or coach weekly, an intensive can be an incredibly helpful adjunct to that work, especially if you feel stuck. We will work in conjunction with your practitioner to coordinate care, and customize a personalized intensive for your specific goals. We will then provide thorough information to your practitioner about the work we have done together, so that you can continue to build upon it in your weekly sessions.

Together, we will clarify your goals, and help you clear away what is no longer serving you,
so you can step into your Best Possible Self

What makes our intensives different?

We use methods that access different channels inside of you that go beyond talk, providing a greater chance at true healing:

Creative arts therapies – like Psychodrama and art making – to bypass the thinking brain, and open up new beliefs and behaviors
Somatic healing methods, like Somatic Experiencing® and Transforming Touch® to help shift the unhealthy, long-held patterns in your system, creating room for greater freedom and joy in your body, mind and spirit
Role training methods to help you practice and anchor new behaviors and beliefs, so you can have a felt sense of the new you, and experience more sustainable change

FAQ's

What is the cost?

The cost is $2500 per day for individuals, and $3000 per day for couples or families. This includes a 60 minute pre-intensive meeting, a 60 minute post-intensive meeting, and coordination of care with your therapist/counselor/coach.

What is a typical schedule?

We typically meet each day from 9:30 am to 4 pm, with short breaks throughout the day, and 90 minutes for lunch. Some days, we may end earlier, so you have more time to integrate (or you may be asked to do some writing or art), and some days, we may go slightly over time.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you plan to take off at least 1 day when you return home, and schedule a session with your weekly therapist, or bodyworker – or both – to help you integrate the work.

Will insurance cover this?

Some insurance plans will reimburse you for a portion of the costs, and we will provide a superbill for you to submit to insurance for reimbursement. Please note that if we do provide a superbill, insurance will require that we provide a diagnosis, which we will discuss at the pre-interview. For more information, it’s best to call your insurance company and inquire about benefits.

Where would the intensive be held?

You can travel to our location is Southern California, we can work virtually, or in some cases, we can travel to you (please note that costs for this are higher – please ask us about it.)

Are Intensives Worth It?

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 typically more cost effective. Instead of waiting months, you can get the same results in a few days.
