What Are Therapy Intensives?
If you’ve ever wished therapy could move a little faster — you’re not alone. Therapy intensives offer a powerful alternative to weekly sessions by condensing months of progress into a focused 1- to 3-day experience.
At Evolve Therapy, our intensives are designed for people who are ready to dive deeper into healing from trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain. Whether you're stuck in traditional therapy or just starting out, intensives can help you get where you want to be — faster.
How Are Therapy Intensives Different?
Traditional therapy gives you 50 minutes a week to process emotions, build insight, and learn tools. That works well — but sometimes it can feel like progress is slow, especially when you’re dealing with trauma that lives in the body.
In an intensive, you’ll spend several hours in a single day or multiple days doing deep, focused work in a safe and supported environment. This extended time allows us to bypass the “warm-up” phase and go straight into the core of the work, whether that’s:
Processing a traumatic event
Unwinding chronic anxiety patterns
Exploring the mind-body connection around chronic pain
Who Are Intensives For?
Therapy intensives can be a great fit if you:
Feel stuck in weekly therapy
Don’t have time for ongoing weekly appointments
Are going through a big life transition
Want to address trauma without dragging it out over months
Have done therapy before but want a deeper experience
You don’t need to be “in crisis” to benefit. Many people choose intensives because they’re ready for transformation.
What’s Included in an Intensive at Evolve Therapy?
Every intensive is personalized, but most include:
A thorough pre-treatment consultation
1-3 days of deep-dive therapy (DBR, Polyvagal, somatic work, CBT, and more)
A peaceful, calming space to work uninterrupted
Integration tools and follow-up support
Sessions are offered in-person in Phoenix, AZ — or virtually, when appropriate.
