Therapy Intensives

If it keeps coming back, maybe it’s time to stop working around it.

You’ve done the work. You have insight. You may already have good support. But there’s something that keeps recycling—and you’re ready to give it the focused time and attention to see what could shift.

Schedule your consultation

Today’s frustrating pattern may have been yesterday’s survival strategy.

Maybe you keep people happy even when it costs you. You’ve gotten so used to considering everyone else that you’re not even sure what you want anymore.

Maybe you can kick ass in a board meeting but shut down when conflict gets close to home.

Or maybe you know exactly what you want to say. You rehearse it beforehand. And then somehow you hear yourself saying, “Sure, I can make the cupcakes.”

You tell yourself you’ll handle it differently next time. You think about it. Read about it. Understand exactly why you do it.

And then Groundhog Day.

The thing that frustrates you today may have once helped you stay safe, stay connected, belong, or get through something you couldn’t change.

A strategy can outlive the circumstances that made it necessary.

The body does not gaslight you

You may know there’s no reason to panic and still feel your heart race. You may know you’re allowed to say no and still hear yourself saying yes. You may know this relationship is different and still brace for what happened in the last one.

Your body isn’t working against you. It’s responding to information.

Sometimes a trigger acts like a time portal. Something happening now activates a response that belongs, at least in part, to something that happened then.

That response gives us somewhere to get curious.

Instead of asking you to override it, ignore it, or try harder to respond differently, we can pay attention to what your mind and body are telling us and work with the memories, beliefs, sensations, and patterns that may still be keeping that old response in place.

The goal isn’t to convince your body that it’s wrong.

It’s to help more of what you know now become available when you need it.

We start with what you want to be different.

You don’t need to know which memory to target, which modality you need, or why you keep responding the way you do.

Bring me the thing that keeps happening and what you wish could be different.

From there, we work backward.

I’m listening for the patterns, experiences, beliefs, body responses, and survival strategies that may be connected to what’s happening now. Together, we get curious about what has kept this response in place—and what your system may still be responding to.

Then I recommend how we work with it.

That might include EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic work, movement, resourcing, or other approaches based on what you bring and how you respond as we work.

You don’t have to know which modality you need. That part is my job.

And we don’t keep using something simply because that was the original plan. I’m paying attention to what’s moving, what isn’t, when we need to slow down, and when another approach may give us a better way in.

That’s what the concentrated time of an intensive gives us room to do.

Hi, I’m Rebeca.

I love this work.

After three years of offering Therapy Intensives, I’m still amazed by what can happen. There’s something powerful about two humans coming together and bringing focused time, attention, and curiosity to something that hasn’t shifted yet.

It just hits different.

If you want to know more about me and how I work, you can learn more about me. But first, let me show you why I get so excited about intensives.

What’s possible through Therapy Intensives

I come into an intensive with expectation—not pressure, and not a promise about what will happen. I don’t know exactly what your mind and body will do with the work we do together.

But I’ve seen enough to know that meaningful shifts are possible. And if you have a hard time believing that for yourself right now, I can hold some of that expectation for you while we begin.

I’ve seen those shifts take very different forms.

Sometimes they’re clear and concrete. I’ve worked with people who were afraid to fly and later flew without relying on medication. People who avoided highway driving and became able to drive safely on roads that had previously felt impossible. People who struggled with blood draws and were able to get lab work done without passing out.

Other times, the changes are quieter—but no less meaningful.

Something that used to set you off doesn’t hit quite as hard. It happens less often. You recover more quickly. And those changes start showing up in ordinary moments:

You say no without spending the next three days wondering if you did something wrong.
You stay present in a hard conversation instead of automatically shutting down, fighting, or trying to make everything okay.
You notice what you want before organizing yourself around what everyone else needs.
You ask for what you need without rehearsing it seventeen times—or talking yourself out of asking altogether.
You recognize an old trigger without getting pulled as deeply into the same familiar response.
You make a decision based on what you want now, rather than what once helped you stay safe or connected.

Sometimes the shift is clear and striking. Sometimes it’s a hundred ordinary things becoming a little easier. I’ve seen both.

I can’t tell you exactly what will shift for you. I don’t know what your body will do with the opportunity. I just know I’m continually amazed by what humans are capable of.

Is a Therapy Intensive right for you?

Therapy Intensives can be a good fit when there’s something specific you’re ready to give focused attention to and you have enough stability and support in your life to do concentrated work responsibly.

You don’t need a simple history or one perfectly defined trauma memory. Some people come in to work with a specific experience, fear, or trigger. Others are working with several connected experiences or a pattern they’ve understood for years but haven’t been able to shift.

An intensive may not be the right format right now if you’re in an active crisis, your immediate safety is uncertain, or you need more ongoing support than a concentrated piece of work can provide.

If your history is more complex or you’re already working with another therapist, that doesn’t necessarily rule an intensive out. In those situations, I may recommend that we coordinate with your existing treatment team so the intensive is part of a larger plan of care.

You don’t have to determine fit on your own. That’s part of what we’ll talk through during your consultation.

Your intensive starts before intensive day.

By the time we sit down together, I don’t want to be meeting your story for the first time. Your intensive includes thoughtful preparation before we begin, focused time together, and support afterward to help you make sense of what shifted and what may still need attention.

After your consultation, I’ll customize your preparation workbook based on what you’re coming in to work on. You’ll return it before our pre-intensive session so I have time to review it closely and come into that conversation already oriented to your history, your goals, and the people and experiences that matter.
We’ll meet for a one-hour pre-intensive session to clarify your goals, talk through what I’m noticing, and discuss the approach I’m recommending.
When you arrive, we’ll orient you to the space, the resources available to you, and how we’ll work together.
From there, the intensive is designed around you. We may use EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic work, movement, grounding or resourcing, or a combination of approaches. We’ll work in focused blocks with room for breaks, movement, and integration along the way.
And I’ll keep paying attention.
If something is moving, we stay with it. If you’re getting overwhelmed, disconnected, frustrated, or stuck, we respond to that information. We can slow down, change the way we’re working, move our bodies, use additional support, or try another approach.
You’re not expected to make the treatment work. That’s something we’re doing together.
We don’t simply reach the end of the last treatment block and send you on your way.
We’ll leave time on your final day to come back to the goals you started with, notice what feels different and what may still need attention, and help you transition out of the concentrated work.
Afterward, I’ll send you a personalized summary with things I want you to remember from our work. With your permission, I can also coordinate with your ongoing therapist and provide a clinical summary when that would support your continued care.
About two weeks later, we’ll meet for a one-hour integration session to talk about what you’ve noticed since the intensive, what’s settling in, and whether anything needs additional attention.

The structure is intentional: we begin with a plan and stay responsive to what happens when we get there.

How we decide how much time to set aside

The number of days isn’t about choosing the biggest package. It’s about giving what you’re coming in to work on enough room.

As a general planning framework, I often think in terms of one primary focus or target per day. Something relatively contained may fit well into a one-day intensive, while several connected experiences or a more layered goal may call for two or three.

You don’t need to decide how many days you need before you contact me. Based on what you want to work on and what I learn during our consultation, I’ll recommend the amount of time I think makes sense.

Customized preparation workbook and treatment planning
