Therapy Intensives in Westlake Village, CA
When once a week isn't enough, go deeper. Concentrated therapy sessions designed to create real breakthroughs in less time.
You already know something needs to change.
You've been circling the same issues for months. Maybe years. You're not making slow progress. You're stuck. And fitting the hardest work of your life into 50 minutes once a week isn't cutting it.
Therapy intensives are different. Instead of spreading your healing across months of weekly sessions, we carve out dedicated, focused time to go deep. Three to six hours of uninterrupted, concentrated work where we tackle what's been keeping you stuck and actually move through it.
This isn't a shortcut. The work is real and it's hard. But the progress that happens in a single intensive often takes months to reach in traditional therapy.
why intensives work
Group gives you practice, not just insight.
01. Concentrated Relief
Clients consistently report feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded after a single intensive than after months of weekly sessions. That's the power of focused time.
03. Flexible Scheduling
Can't commit to weekly appointments? Traveling, working long hours, or managing a packed family schedule? Intensives let you do significant therapeutic work on your timeline.
02. Deeper Processing
Fifty minutes goes fast. An intensive gives you space to actually get into the material, sit with it, work through it, and come out the other side. No stopping just when things get real.
04. Faster Momentum
Weekly therapy can lose steam between sessions. Intensives eliminate that gap. You stay in the work, build on every breakthrough, and leave with momentum that sticks.

WHAT AN INTENSIVE LOOKS LIKE
How it Works
-
01. Consultation Call
We start with a conversation. You tell me what you're working through. I help you decide whether an intensive is the right format and which type fits. We set clear goals so every minute counts.
-
02. Pre-Session Preparation
Before your intensive, I may send you assessments or reflection exercises. This means we hit the ground running instead of spending the first hour getting oriented.
-
03. The Intensive Session
Sessions run 3 to 6 hours depending on what we're working on. We go deeper than a weekly session ever allows, with built-in breaks so you don't burn out. EMDR intensives follow a structured reprocessing protocol. Couples intensives alternate between joint and individual work. Individual intensives are fully customized.
-
04. Follow-Up and Integration
The work doesn't end when the session does. You'll get a personalized follow-up plan with specific exercises, resources, or check-in sessions to help everything settle and stick.
