Therapy Intensives

At Evolve Therapy, we know all too well the challenges that come when you’re finally getting to the peak of your material in session and your therapist gives the signal that time is almost up. Believe us when we say - it frustrates us just as much as it frustrates you. This is why we designed our Therapy Intensives to meet your needs better.

What is a Therapy Intensive?

A therapy intensive typically refers to a focused and concentrated therapeutic experience that delves deeply into a specific issue or set of challenges. During your immersive therapeutic session, you will engage in extended and intensive therapeutic work, often spanning longer than a typical therapy session. Depending on your specific needs, immersion therapy sessions are typically held for 2 hours to 6 hours.

Key features of an immersive therapeutic session may include:

1. Extended Duration:

   These sessions are longer than standard therapy sessions, often lasting several hours or even a full day.

2. In-Depth Exploration:

   Immersive sessions allow for a comprehensive exploration of specific concerns, challenges, or therapeutic goals.

3. Focused Attention:

   Our therapists provide dedicated and concentrated attention to you, creating an environment conducive to deeper insights and breakthroughs.

4. Tailored Content:

   The content of immersive sessions is often customized to address your unique needs and goals, allowing for a more personalized therapeutic experience.

5. Variety of Therapeutic Modalities:

   Our therapists may incorporate various therapeutic modalities, techniques, or activities to enhance the depth and effectiveness of the session, such as Deep Brain Reorienting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Mindfulness/ Yoga Therapy.

6. Intensive Processing:

   Participants may engage in intensive processing of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors related to the targeted issues, promoting a more profound therapeutic impact.
