Intensives for Adults & Families

Weekly therapy can be incredibly valuable, but sometimes the pace of a 45 minute or 60 minute session makes it difficult to fully explore complex experiences or long-standing patterns.

Instead, you may need anywhere from a few hours to a few days where you can work one on one with your therapist in different settings to explore your issues more deeply and find new, meaningful ways to cope with and address your problems.

Sometimes these are done on the weekends to help you with your availability and busy schedule.

There are two types of Intensives at Nicole Beane Psychotherapy:

Focused Individual Intensives

Family Intensives

Weekly therapy can be incredibly helpful, but sometimes the challenges we are facing need more time and focused intention than a traditional session allows.

You may feel like you keep touching the surface of something important, but there never seems to be enough time to fully explore it. Or you may be going through a particularly difficult season where waiting a week between sessions feels too slow.

Focused Individual Intensives offer the opportunity to step outside of the usual pace and give your experiences and feelings the time and attention they deserve. With extended time together, we can explore patterns more fully, process difficult emotions, and begin to understand the deeper dynamics that may be shaping your relationships and sense of self.

Depending on your goals and what feels supportive for you, an Intensive may include different experiences, such as walking together in a park, meeting in a setting that feels more comfortable for you, or working within your home environment.

Changing the setting can sometimes help bring new awareness to patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be harder to access in a traditional therapy setting. Intensives also allow us to integrate different therapy modalities such as somatic therapy, mindfulness, and art based exercises that can allow different ways to express oneself.

Family Intensives‍ are for families in crisis (or who don't have time for weekly therapy), to have the opportunity to do deep, focused work over 2 to 3 days, meeting 4 to 6 hours each day.

This is a two therapist model that allows for the knowledge and expertise of two different therapists, who can help contain all of the emotions in the room and allow for openness and deep feelings to surface safely.

This extended, uninterrupted time allows patterns to surface, emotions to be processed safely, and meaningful shifts to happen more quickly than traditional weekly therapy. What might take months, or even years to address in weekly sessions, can often be meaningfully explored and stabilized in a short period of time, helping families regain clarity, connection, and direction when it's needed most.
