Why Schedule an Intensive Session?

  • Individual sessions allow you to focus on shifts you want to make in one or two areas in your life.
  • Learn and practice applying new skills more thoroughly than time allows in a tranditional setting.
  • Identify one or more core problematic patterns and work through them in a short time-span.
  • Through the psychoeducation and work done (EMDR & IFS parts work), change can be deeper and more permanent, instilling healthy thought patterns going forward.
  • You create a plan to move forward, allowing for more authentic self experiences.
Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.
— Lisa Olivera

A Note From Laurie About Intensives

I understand that life is busy, which can make carving out space for healing and self-work all the more challenging. Sometimes weekly sessions, months on end, is not the best option for everyone. Unfortunately, fixed thoughts (feelings & behaviors) don’t care about your schedule and continue to get in the way. This is one of the things I love about intensives! We carve out a 3-hour block, whether it’s one, two, or three days, giving you intensive progress and healing.

Using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), we begin to help the brain reprocess memories or even behavior patterns that you feel are getting in your way. The exciting news here is that EMDR isn’t just for trauma. While it is an excellent approach in tackling traumatic experiences, we can use it in a wide range of other concerns such as anxiety, depression, phobias, addiction – so many areas!

Sometimes, however, our subconscious sets up roadblocks, and EMDR processing gets halted. There might be a fear of exploring a big emotion tied to a memory, uneasiness about how life might be different if anxiety wasn’t there to do its job, or concern of how to cope if a negative coping tool is decided as null and void. This is where IFS saves the day!

I incorporate IFS (Internal Family Systems) to explore and work with any unconscious parts that might be getting in the way of deeper work that your conscious system wants to do, helping you to get the most from your intensive work.

My intensives are like mental and emotional boot camps, structured to help you conquer whatever challenges come your way. Plans are specifically tailored and unique for each client, leading to very individualized work, so you walk away feeling more confident about your next steps. Whether you prefer multiple consecutive days of intense therapy or ongoing clusters of single, power-packed sessions, I’ve got you covered!

Shoot me a message today about any questions you have – I truly look forward to hearing from you! I want to help you decide how intensives can support you, and ultimately finding a way to work with you in your healing journey while reaching your goals!
