Therapy Intensives

Dedicated time to explore what matters most with the depth and continuity meaningful change often requires.

A Space to go Deeper.

Therapy intensives offer the opportunity to move through meaningful material without the limitations of weekly sessions.

By setting aside dedicated time, we can slow down, stay with what matters, and engage the work more fully. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or hoping to create lasting change, intensives provide space for deeper exploration, integration, and momentum.

This work may support:

  • Working through specific events, experiences, or recurring themes

  • Moving through places that feel stuck or difficult to access in weekly therapy

  • Beginning therapy with focused intention

  • Preparing for or integrating significant life transitions

  • Individuals, couples, or families seeking deeper, more immediate shifts

FAQs

  • A therapy intensive offers an extended block of therapeutic time rather than dividing the work into traditional weekly sessions. This creates more space for depth, continuity, and focused experiential work.

  • No. You do not need to be a current or previous EMBER client to schedule an intensive. We’ll begin with a consultation and intake process to understand what brings you in, your goals for the intensive, and whether this format is a good fit for your needs.

  • Weekly therapy provides ongoing support over time, while an intensive allows us to spend several hours working with a particular experience, pattern, relationship, or area of focus without needing to stop after a traditional session length.

  • Intensives may be appropriate for individuals, couples, families, or other relational systems depending on the goals of the work.

  • Yes. While full-day intensives are available, the length and structure of an intensive can be tailored to the goals of the work. Multi-day intensives may also be available.

  • A full-day, six-hour therapy intensive is $2,200.

    Custom-length and multi-day intensives are also available, with rates based on duration.
