Individual intensives

Individual Intensives in Brentwood & Nashville, TN

There are seasons in life when weekly therapy doesn't feel like enough. You might sense old patterns resurfacing, relationships feeling strained, or a familiar ache telling you something inside is ready for deeper attention. An Individual Intensive offers a curated, two-day experience designed to support you in exploring the deeper layers of your story, your relationships, and the internal patterns that shape the way you live. This is intentional, immersive work that is focused entirely on you.

What to expect

A Structured, Immersive, Two-Day Healing Experience

Deep preparation

Weeks before the two days, you'll complete a Developmental and Relational Trauma assessment—identifying nine meaningful childhood scenes that become the roadmap for your intensive.

Morning meditations

Each day begins with guided meditations to settle your body, regulate your emotions, and create a foundation of internal safety before the clinical work begins.

Six hours of therapy daily

Your two days include six hours of experiential individual therapy each day—StoryBoard work, parts work, and mindful engagement with younger parts of the self for healing and repair.

Six months in two days

When you step away from daily demands, healing accelerates. Many clients describe intensives as doing "six months of therapy in two days"—not because it's rushed, but because it's spacious and uninterrupted.

Why an intensive?

When You Need More Than Weekly Therapy

Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old relational patterns, feeling disconnected from who we want to be, or struggling to let go of beliefs that were born from earlier wounds. These patterns are rarely random—they are rooted in experiences from our past that shaped how we learned to survive, love, and protect ourselves.

In an intensive, we don't rush. We listen deeply. We explore the systems and relational dynamics that have influenced your life and may be holding you back from the future you're trying to build. This is a space to bring your full self without interruptions, obligations, or the roles you carry every day.

Preparing for your intensive

Understanding Your Story Before You Dive In

Your intensive begins weeks before the two days you spend with your therapist. You'll complete a Developmental and Relational Trauma assessment, which gently guides you through the history of your family system, the environments you grew up in, and the core experiences that shaped your sense of self.

Together, you and your therapist will identify nine meaningful childhood scenes that are worth slowing down and revisiting with support and compassion. This preparation becomes the groundwork for the deeper clinical work you'll do during the intensive—creating clarity and direction so the two-day experience can be as meaningful and effective as possible.

Understanding Your Story Before You Dive In

The two-day experience

What Happens During the Two Days

Your therapist will walk with you through two days intentionally crafted around your unique needs. You'll meet in a comfortable space where the only thing asked of you is your presence and willingness to engage in your healing.

Your 2-day intensive includes morning meditations to settle your body and regulate your emotions, psychoeducation on Developmental and Relational Trauma, six hours of experiential individual therapy each day, guided therapeutic activities including StoryBoard work, and parts work and experiential exercises focused on younger parts of the self. Throughout the process, pacing, breaks, nervous-system regulation, and emotional safety are prioritized. This is gentle, deep work that honors your limits while supporting meaningful change.

The impact

Six Months of Work in Two Days

When you don't have to juggle parenting, work, or the constant pull of responsibilities, something powerful happens: your system can focus. You can stay with your emotional experience long enough to understand it, care for it, and transform it.

Many clients describe intensives as doing "six months of therapy in two days." Not because the work is rushed, but because it's spacious, immersive, and uninterrupted. The depth of attention you give your healing allows meaningful shifts to happen—shifts that can ripple into every area of your life.
