Therapy Intensives
Targeted Support. Accelerated Healing. Lasting Progress.
At Brown Counseling Services, we recognize that weekly therapy may not always provide the depth or flexibility you need, especially during challenging times. Therapy Intensives offer a concentrated, intentional space for you to make meaningful progress and create lasting change in a shorter timeframe.
We Currently offer two types of intensives:
EMDR Intensives for individuals
EMDR Intensives provide a focused, uninterrupted opportunity to process trauma, anxiety, and difficult experiences in a more effective and transformative way. These extended sessions allow you to dive deeper into your healing, whether you're working through long-standing emotional wounds or recent distressing events. The structured format of EMDR intensives helps you stay grounded as you work through intense emotions, offering a clear and compassionate path to relief and emotional resilience. This approach allows for faster progress, so you can begin to feel more balanced and at peace in a shorter amount of time.
Couples Therapy Intensive
Couples Therapy Intensives are designed to create space for you and your partner to slow down, connect on a deeper level, and engage in meaningful conversations about the core issues in your relationship. These extended sessions provide a structured yet supportive environment where both partners can feel heard, explore emotions, and work together to address challenges in a focused and intentional way. Whether you're navigating conflict, strengthening communication, or rediscovering intimacy, an intensive offers the time and attention needed to make lasting progress.
Therapy Intensives: Is It Right For You?
Feel stuck or overwhelmed: If you've been feeling like you're going in circles or juggling more than you can handle, an intensive session provides concentrated support to help you break through and gain clarity.
Want faster progress: If you're looking to make meaningful progress in a shorter time frame, therapy intensives allow you to move forward more quickly, without waiting for the usual weekly sessions.
Therapy intensives are longer, focused sessions, typically lasting between 3 to 6 hours. This extended time allows us to dive deep into your goals without the usual constraints of a standard session. Therapy intensives may be a good fit if you:
Why Choose a Therapy Intensive?
Therapy intensives help you break through emotional roadblocks. Spending extended time together allows us to focus solely on what’s keeping you stuck, so you can move forward faster.
Emotional Relief and Clarity
By spending more time in session, many clients find that they experience greater emotional relief and clarity. Patterns and emotions that once felt overwhelming often become clearer, helping you understand and navigate them with more confidence.
Structuring the Experience
Intensives offer a structured environment where the time is specifically set aside for your healing. Without the distractions of everyday life or multiple therapy sessions, you’ll have uninterrupted space to focus on yourself or your relationship.
Tailoring the Experience
Each therapy intensive is personalized to meet you where you are. We work together at a pace that feels supportive and responsive, ensuring the experience is aligned with your unique needs and goals.
FAQs
What happens after an intensive? How do we continue our work?
After an intensive session, we will discuss a plan to continue your progress, whether it’s through regular sessions or another round of intensives. Many clients choose to follow up with weekly or bi-weekly sessions to build on the momentum created in the intensive. We will work together to create a strategy that best supports your ongoing growth and helps you maintain the breakthroughs you have made.
How should I prepare for an intensive?
Preparation is key to getting the most out of your intensive. We recommend:
Reflecting on your goals: Take some time before the session to think about what you want to accomplish. What are your biggest challenges? What breakthroughs are you hoping to achieve?
Creating a calm space: Try to ensure you're in a quiet, comfortable environment where you can focus without distractions during the intensive.
Being open and ready to engage: Therapy intensives are designed for deep work, so coming with an open mind and a willingness to explore can help make the experience more productive.
Taking care of yourself: Make sure you're well-rested, hydrated, and have eaten before your session so you can be fully present.
Is there follow-up support after the intensive is over?
Yes! We offer follow-up support after your intensive session. Depending on your needs, this may include scheduling a follow-up session or sessions to reinforce your progress and address any new questions or challenges. Our goal is to ensure that you feel supported as you continue your journey and integrate the insights from the intensive into your everyday life.
