Resilience Through Connection
Accelerated Resolution Therapy Intensives
Focused, Trauma-Informed Therapy for Faster, Deeper Relief
If you’re exhausted from carrying the same emotional weight year after year, an Accelerated Resolution Therapy intensive may be the reset you’ve been looking for.
ART intensives are designed for people who are ready to move through something specific in a focused, contained way without spending months or years circling the same pain.
This is not rushed therapy. It is intentional, structured, and deeply supportive.
What Is an Accelerated Resolution Therapy Intensive?
An Accelerated Resolution Therapy intensive is a longer, immersive therapy experience that allows us to work through trauma, emotional blocks, or distressing patterns in a concentrated period of time.
​
Instead of meeting for one 50-minute session per week, we meet for several hours across one or multiple days. This allows your nervous system to stay engaged, supported, and regulated while meaningful processing happens.
ART is a trauma-informed therapy approach that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel emotionally overwhelming or intrusive. You do not have to relive or retell every detail of what happened for this work to be effective.
What Makes ART Intensives Different
-
Fewer sessions with more focused impact
-
Less time spent rehashing details
-
More space for integration and stabilization
-
A pace that respects your nervous system
-
Clear boundaries around scope and safety
Every intensive includes appropriate clinical screening to ensure ART is safe and appropriate for you.
What an ART Intensive Actually Looks Like
Before the intensive, we meet for a free consultation to determine whether an intensive is the right fit and to identify the focus of the work. This might include a specific memory, pattern, or emotional block that feels stuck.
Once scheduled, your intensive typically includes:
Once scheduled, your intensive typically includes:
• A preparation session to build safety, grounding, and clarity
• One extended therapy session ranging from two to four hours
• Built-in breaks to support nervous system regulation
• Guided ART processing tailored to your pace and needs
• Integration time to help your system settle and absorb the work
Everything is collaborative. You are never pushed, rushed, or forced to go anywhere you are not ready to go.
What Results Can You Expect?
Everyone’s experience is different, but many clients report:
​
A significant drop in emotional intensity
• Fewer intrusive thoughts or emotional spirals
• Feeling calmer and more regulated in their body
• Less reactivity in relationships
• A sense of emotional closure or relief
• More access to confidence, clarity, and self-trust
​

You can expect to:
The memory does not disappear. What changes is how your body responds to it.
I help clients explore emotional patterns, rebuild self-worth, and stop self-sabotaging. Together, we shift from survival mode into a grounded, fulfilling way of living.I offer virtual therapy for women and professionals across Massachusetts.
Why Choose an Intensive Instead of Weekly Therapy?
Weekly therapy is valuable for ongoing support, exploration, and relationship-based work.
ART intensives are different by design.
With an intensive, you are able to:
-
Stay with the work long enough for real processing to occur
• Avoid reopening the same wound week after week
• Make meaningful progress in a shorter period of time
• Focus on one issue without constant interruption
• Experience relief without committing to long-term weekly therapy
Many clients choose intensives because they are tired of understanding their trauma but not feeling different.
An intensive creates momentum.
Is an ART Intensive Right for You?
An intensive may be a good fit if:
Get to Know Us
• You feel emotionally safe enough to do deeper work
• You are tired of talking without seeing change
• You want relief sooner rather than later
• You know what you want to focus on
• You want trauma-informed therapy without constant retelling
If you are unsure, that is completely okay. That is what the consultation is for.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
How do I know which intensive is right for me?
We decide together during a free consultation. The right option depends on the complexity of what you want to work on, your nervous system capacity, and your goals. Not everyone needs a full or two day intensive, and not everyone is a good fit for a shorter option.
​
Why are ART intensives more expensive than weekly therapy?
ART intensives involve extended sessions, deeper preparation, increased clinical containment, and significant emotional labor. They are designed to create meaningful progress in a shorter period of time rather than stretching work out over months.
You are paying for focus, structure, and expertise, not just time.
​
Is assessment included in intensives?
Yes. Every intensive includes appropriate clinical screening to ensure ART is safe and appropriate. Longer intensives include more comprehensive assessment, target mapping, and treatment planning.
​
Can I do multiple targets in the 2 hour intensive?
No. The 2 hour intensive is designed for one contained target only. If you are hoping to work on multiple memories, patterns, or experiences, a half day or full day intensive is more appropriate.
​
Do you take insurance for intensives?
No. ART intensives are private pay. Insurance does not reimburse for extended sessions or intensive formats. If you plan to use insurance, weekly therapy is the better option.
​
Will I be emotionally overwhelmed after an intensive?
ART is designed to be gentler than traditional trauma processing, but deeper work can still bring up emotions. Longer intensives include more pacing, integration, and support. We also discuss aftercare and grounding strategies so you feel supported once the intensive is complete.
​
What happens after the intensive?
For full day and two day intensives, a complimentary 30 minute check in is scheduled the following week. This allows us to assess integration, address questions, and support stabilization.
​
Can I combine an intensive with ongoing therapy?
Yes. Some clients use intensives as a focused intervention alongside weekly therapy, either with me or another therapist. This is discussed during the consultation to ensure it is clinically appropriate.
​
How do I know if I'm a good fit for an intensive?
If an intensive is not the safest or most effective option for you, I will tell you. Ethical care always comes first.
