Brainspotting Therapy Intensives
A structured, concentrated treatment program for women ready to do focused, deep work — in a fraction of the time traditional therapy requires.
This is not a longer therapy session. It's a different kind of treatment.
A therapy intensive compresses meaningful clinical work into a concentrated format — dedicated, uninterrupted time that allows us to go to a depth that weekly sessions rarely reach. There is no warm-up at the start of each hour. No week between sessions for momentum to dissipate. The work builds, session to session, in real time.
Intensives are structured around Brainspotting, a focused brain-body approach that allows for sustained processing without stopping and restarting inherent in weekly sessions. Brainspotting is particularly suited to the intensive format because it accesses and processes material that talk therapy often cannot, and the extended time allows that processing to complete rather than pause.
The result, for many clients, is movement they have not been able to achieve in years of weekly work.
What the intensive includes
This is a 10-hour clinical program, structured across four components:
30 min Consultation
A complimentary 30-minute video meeting prior to booking.
We discuss your goals, questions, and whether this format is the right fit for where you are right now.
90 min Pre-Intensive Session
We establish a clear focus, review history, and determine the treatment approach.
This session ensures we use the intensive time as effectively as possible.
4 hrs Brainspotting Intensive — Session One
The first concentrated treatment session.
We move at the pace your nervous system sets — there is no rushing, no clock pressure mid-session.
4 hrs Brainspotting Intensive — Session Two
Continues and deepens the processing from Session One.
The two sessions together allow for a treatment arc to unfold within a continuous frame, rather than being paused and resumed over time.
30 min Follow-Up Session
Scheduled approximately one month after the intensive.
We review what has shifted since the intensive, consider how those changes are unfolding in your day-to-day life, and determine whether any additional support is indicated.
Investment: $3,750
50% deposit required to hold your dates, non-refundable
Offered virtually via secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform
Available to clients in New York, New Jersey, and Florida
While Brainspotting forms the foundation of this format, elements of EMDR or parts-based work may be integrated when clinically appropriate.
About Brainspotting
An intensive may be the right fit if:
You've been in weekly therapy and feel like something important remains just out of reach — the work is meaningful, but the weekly format isn't giving you enough time or depth to get there.
You’re facing something specific and significant — an unresolved trauma, a major relationship shift, or a period of sustained stress — and you want to address it with focus and adequate time, rather than in 50-minute installments over months.
You're not currently in therapy and want to begin with a concentrated, clearly structured process rather than an open-ended weekly commitment.
You're working with another therapist or coach and want a focused Brainspotting intensive to complement that ongoing work.
Intensives are not appropriate for everyone, and the online consultation meeting is where we determine together whether this format makes clinical sense for you right now.
What the research shows
The intensive format is not simply a scheduling convenience. There is a growing body of clinical research supporting the efficacy of concentrated trauma-focused treatment:
— Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy appears to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with comparable or improved outcomes, while reducing dropout risk.
— Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and associated with reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms within a significantly shorter timeframe than traditional weekly formats.

— Intensive programs using EMDR therapy have demonstrated safety and effectiveness as a treatment alternative for complex PTSD.

Reaching out for support isn’t always easy.
If what you’ve read here resonates, a consultation is where we can see if an intensive is the right next step.
If you'd like to explore whether an intensive is appropriate for your situation, I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to talk through your questions and situation. There's no obligation, and no pressure.
Details about scheduling and deposit are available on the FAQ page, and we'll cover anything not addressed there during our conversation.
