Therapy Intensives in Asheville, North Carolina & Online
Extended Therapy Sessions for Deeper Healing
When You Need Something More Than a 1 Hour Weekly Session
You may already have a good understanding of your anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, or the ways you've learned to cope. But understanding something intellectually doesn't always change how it lives in your body. If you’ve been in therapy before and haven’t seen the progress you want, or if you feel stuck and aren’t sure where to go from here, therapy intensives can be a great next step.
Extended therapy sessions create more space to work with those deeper layers, allowing for processing, integration, and healing that can be difficult to access when time feels limited.
Instead of feeling rushed or interrupted, we have the opportunity to slow down, follow what's unfolding in your body, and spend meaningful time with the parts of yourself or your experience that don’t get attended to. This fosters conditions for deeper healing, especially when you’ve spent years functioning in survival mode.
What Are Therapy Intensives?
Therapy intensives are longer sessions that create space for focused, in-depth therapeutic work. Rather than working within the time constraints of a traditional 50-minute session, intensives allow us to go deeper and spend more time with what needs attention.
I currently offer:
90-Minute Extended Therapy Sessions
This is a great option if you want more space to process, explore patterns in greater depth, or engage in EMDR, Brainspotting, and/or somatic work without feeling rushed.
3-Hour Therapy Intensives
These sessions are designed for deeper trauma therapy and focused healing work, and may include EMDR, somatic practices, and parts work. During 3-hour sessions, we have more time to fully process one specific focus area and support meaningful movement and integration while maintaining a strong focus on nervous system regulation and pacing.
All therapy intensives are tailored to your goals, history, and capacity, and are available in-person in Asheville and online across North Carolina.
Is a Therapy Intensive a Good Fit for Me?
Extended therapy sessions often resonate with people who:
Feel stuck despite years of personal growth or therapy
Understand their patterns but struggle to create lasting change
Have experienced or childhood wounds that continue to impact daily life
Are going through a particularly difficult time in their life
Feel trapped in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, co-dependance, people-pleasing, or burnout
Are processing sexual trauma and want dedicated time for healing
Want space to go deeper than weekly therapy allows
What to Expect-Depending on your needs our work may include:
EMDR therapy
Brainspotting therapy
Parts work (IFS therapy)
Somatic and body-based approaches
Nervous system regulation and polyvagal-informed practices
Mindfulness and grounding techniques
Trauma-informed processing and integration
Throughout the session, I pay close attention to what’s coming up for you and in your body, as well as your capacity. My goal isn't to push you through difficult experiences as quickly as possible. It's to support you and help you stay connected to yourself while moving through them.
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Healing
Trauma-informed therapy isn't about pushing through difficult experiences or trying to process as much as possible in a single session. It's about working in a way that respects your nervous system and capacity.
One of the benefits of extended therapy sessions is that they provide more time to slow down when needed. In a traditional therapy hour, it can sometimes feel like there isn't enough space to fully settle into the work before it's time to stop. Longer sessions allow us to spend more time building safety, developing resources, and staying connected to what's happening in the present moment. This can be especially important for people with a history of trauma or chronic stress.
We’ll go at a pace that feels manageable while still allowing meaningful processing to occur. There is more room to pause, check in, regulate, and integrate what comes up along the way. For many people, this creates a sense of safety, making deeper healing possible.
Whether we're using EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic approaches, parts work, or a combination of modalities, the goal isn't to force change. The goal is to help your system process experiences that you may never have had the opportunity to fully process before.
