Brainspotting Therapy Intensives
in Cobble Hill, NY

When Life’s Challenges Feel Too Big

Sometimes, life throws challenges our way that feel too big to handle alone. Whether it’s a recent event that’s shaken your sense of balance or a specific issue that feels overwhelming, it’s hard to navigate those emotions while keeping up with everything else. Therapy intensives offer a focused, uninterrupted space to process, heal, and move forward with clarity and strength.

For many, traditional therapy doesn’t quite fit. Weekly sessions can feel too spaced out, especially when you’re eager to address something pressing. That’s where a Brainspotting therapy intensive comes in—a chance to dive deeply into what matters most right now, with time set aside just for you.

A Focused and Tailored Approach

The focused intensives I offer are designed to help you work through a specific issue or challenge. Whether it’s healing from a recent trauma, processing a painful memory, or finding resolution for a particular emotional roadblock, this format provides dedicated time for meaningful progress in a shorter timeframe.

Is an Intensive Right for You?

A Brainspotting intensive therapy might be the right fit if you:

  • Want focused support: You’re ready to address a recent event or specific issue without the longer timeline of traditional therapy.

  • Feel stuck in your current progress: Your weekly therapy sessions or inner work leave you wishing for more time to dig deeper.

  • Are new to therapy: You’ve never worked with a therapist but want to make significant progress with professional guidance.

  • Want to complement your current work: You’re already working with a therapist or coach and want focused, in-depth support alongside it.

Therapy intensives are tailored to meet your unique needs and goals with personalized, extended support. Your intensive is a space for you to pause, process, and heal. Together, we can work toward clarity, resilience, and the confidence to move forward in the way that feels right for you.

Let’s explore how a Brainspotting intensive can help you reclaim clarity, strength, and confidence—and step into the life you deserve.

Why Choose An Intensive?

  • You Want EMDR / Brainspotting as an adjunct to your current therapy

    Maybe you’ve been working with a therapist or coach but feel like you’ve hit a plateau. You’re curious about how a focused, intensive approach can complement the progress you’ve already made and take you further. Intensives can enhance your ongoing work, helping you gain clarity and resolution on a specific issue.

  • You have a tight schedule

    You’ve thought about starting therapy, but the demands of your day-to-day life make it hard to commit to weekly sessions. With a therapy intensive, you can prioritize focused support over one or two days, allowing you to address what’s weighing on you without adding more to your already full schedule.

  • You're looking for faster progress

    If you’re facing a recent challenge or single issue of concern, waiting months for progress in a traditional weekly format may not feel right for you. An intensive provides the focused time and space to focus deeply, helping you make meaningful strides in a shorter period.

  • You're drawn to the depth of an intensive format

    Whether you’re new to therapy or already working with someone, you’re ready to explore your emotions and experiences in a concentrated, purposeful way. An intensive allows you to address one significant issue with undivided attention, creating space for healing and transformation.

What Happens During An Intensive?

During your intensive, we’ll use Brainspotting or EMDR to address the emotional and physical effects of your experience. This approach can help reduce the weight of negative thoughts, uncomfortable emotions, or distressing body sensations tied to the issue you’re facing. It’s an intentional, in-depth process that can help you find relief and clarity in a shorter timeframe than traditional therapy models.

Intensives may also enhance existing therapy work or serve as a standalone process. In our pre-intensive consultation, we’ll discuss your needs and goals to determine the best approach for your unique situation. Together, we’ll focus on creating an experience that feels both effective and supportive.

Whether you’re working through a recent event, addressing a painful memory, or tackling a specific challenge, the extended format offers dedicated time and space to heal and move forward from your struggle.

How a Therapy Intensive Supports You

A therapy intensive offers you the dedicated time and space to focus on what’s most pressing, whether it’s a recent event or a specific emotional challenge. By creating an immersive and supportive environment, we can work together to help you process what feels overwhelming and move toward healing with clarity and purpose. Through the advanced techniques of Brainspotting and EMDR, our sessions are designed to:

  • Strengthen Your Resilience: Life can feel heavy when you’re carrying the weight of a recent experience or unresolved emotions. Together, we’ll build and expand coping strategies to help you navigate stress, anxiety, and discomfort as they arise, empowering you to feel more grounded and equipped to move forward.

  • Process a Specific Event or Experience: When a recent event has left an emotional imprint, it’s easy to feel stuck or unsure how to move through it. We’ll focus deeply on the emotions, sensations, and impact of this experience, helping you release what’s been holding you back and find relief and resolution in a safe, supported way.

  • Create Space for Healing: When life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to give yourself the time and attention you need to heal. This intensive provides a space just for you—an opportunity to focus on your emotional well-being in a way that feels intentional, compassionate, and free of distractions.
